How many of you have more than one egg? If you have more than one egg, what sizes do you have and what do you use the different sizes for?

    Peggy ,[p]I have the large and the small. I use the small for most everything and mostly for high temp cooks. My large is pretty much for the lo/slo pulled pork and ribs although at times I have to do a lot of food and the large is my choice at those times.[p]

  • Bob,[p]Me too - but the large also works REALLY well when doing a turkey. Actually did 2 14# birds on Thanksgiving. Wall to wall bird![p]The virsatility of the small is amazing. Glad I bought the large first.

    Peggy , I have a mini, medium and large. I'll use the mini to cook a single burger or up to about three burgers. For cooking for our normal meal (my wife, my youngest son amd me) I'll use the medium. When I really want to cook a lot (or something big like a whole turkey) I'll use the large. SOmetimes, I use two at the same time when I need different temperatures.

    Peggy ,
    I have a large and a small. If it's a two egg cook, I'm usually doing the meat on one and vegies or taters on the other. This is especially true during corn on the cob season. It can't be beat on the egg.

    Peggy ,[p]I have a Small and a Mini. I would love a large, but still have no space for it (I'm off to house-hunt in a couple of minutes...). I am a wimp and therefore like taking the Mini to tailgates. I've also taken the small many times, but when others are going with other grills, I usually leave it behind since it's hard to fit into my Mustang, anyway.[p]I like to have both going at once so I can do two things at different temps.[p]Later,

    Peggy ,[p]Large, small and mini. The large handles the usual fare plus all dough bakes, plus all dutch oven bakes. The small handles burgers, steaks, chicken breasts, pork chops, taters and other veggies, plus all wok stir fries. The mini handles, in 3s, burgers, chops, steaks, chicken breasts, plus hot dogs, plus roasting peanuts.[p]Just a sampling of cooks. [p]Puj

    <p />Peggy , I have three, two larges and a mini. The mini I use for traveling, a couple of burgers, dogs or sausages, and to make smoke for cold smoking. The larges do just about everything else. Are you getting ready to add one? [p]Chuck <><[p]

    Peggy,[p]We (the wife and I) bought a large about a year ago. We found out that when we do lo & slows, (pulled pork, briskets, etc) it prevented us from cooking anything right away. So we bought a mini - and it's absolutely perfect for doing a couple of NY strips, 3 burgers, or a package of hot dogs. Hot dogs cooked on the mini is about the best dog you'll ever eat.

    Peggy ,[p]A large, which I've had not quite a year now and a mini which I got in February. I use the large like everyone else. Got the mini for three reasons: 1.The wife didn't know what else to get my for my birthday, 2.I felt silly firing up the large for a couple of burgers, etc. and 3.The local dealer REALLY, REALLY wanted to unload it so he made me one heck of a deal. So far I've only used the mini for high temp cooks.[p]Kelly Keefe

    Peggy ,[p]I have three eggs. A Large, Small and Mini. I use the Small the most by far. The Large is for lo & slo's and times when I need more grill space. The Small is for grilling dinner. The Mini is for me and the wife when my 17 year old son isn't around to devour everything in sight.[p]Carl T

    Larry,[p]I believe them is buffalo turds rather than rinds. Not real sure from the picture but it would be my guess :~)
