We have a large egg and we are thinking about getting a small as well. We would use it when we are away from home. I know the small is small but have any of you figured out a way to Utilize the space?

Thanks,

    I have a large BGE and I just bot a small 2 weekends ago. I have cooked on the small every night except one. SInce the majority of my cooks are for the Mrs and I it is much quicker to use and uses a lot less lump.

    I did use the Lg this weekend to cook bread, chili & a ham.........

    on the small I have done:
    steaks
    burgers
    chicken
    fish
    shrimp
    & vegys..

    yes I love both my large & sm BGE....

    and I thought the small would only be for camping :blink:

    How did you make the second grid? Is it hard to get to the food on the bottom grid?

    I love the idea :)

    please don't underestimate the small. With 2 fire brick turned on edge and an auxillary grate you can make it 2 tiered quite easily. BTW A large and small is a terrific combo, though I use my small probably 60% of all my cooks.

    Fire brick are available at most big box home improvement stores if they stock fireplace repair items. I paid about $10 for six and they look like this...the brown is new and the black after use. As for an auxillary grid - most any place that carries grilling supplies carry those - they are quite commonplace.

    I've got the LBGE/SBGE combination (XL will be added soon...) and I must say that it is very nice to have the extra cooker available to use for other types of cooks if one is in use. Be sure to get the plate setter for the SBGE, also.

    Small is great for pizzas --

    Sometimes, when cookin' bigger stuff on my Medium, I just load up the Small with spuds -- baked Spuds on the Egg -- That can be a meal all-in-all-itself!

    Love my Small!
