      MCN- strongly considering a Small to go with my XL. Let me know how you like it and will you post a pic with the steaks on? Trying to get a handle on how much it will hold. Good luck and thanks so much.

      Looks like you could fit 3 maybe 4 good sized steaks. Sound about right? Let me know how you like it.

      Lol. Caliking hit the nail on the head!! These steaks were amazing. Turned out to be med to med rare. Perfect. The small is a much different beast. I will have to start learning the vents again. I was a little rushed, didn't wanna get to 700 and just didn't have a clue were to put vent so I did what I do on my large. Cooked these around 450 for 3 min a side then thermapen read 130-135.

      Yes sir. Just trying new things. Did a two hour marinade with jack Daniels classic steak house marinate bag. It was really good. A tad sweet and I'm not really a sweet fan

      I think 4 would work easy.

      Got a small to accompany my XL for Christmas. Have used it about twice as much as the XL in the last 2 months.

      I can see using this a ton. It used so much less coal. And very quick nice neat and tidy.
      @wolfpack
      Have you seen the different eggs in person? Sound dumb but I hadn't until I got seriously in the market for my second

      Way to break in the little guy! It's perfect for a quick cook! 
      =D>

      @Wolfpack @Kosko smalls are great for a second egg! They are big enough to cook for a group and can travel fairly easy as well!

      That looks awesome, wish I would have cooked today instead of giving in to the laziness of my wife.

      Congrats. I love my small and it uses much less lump than the large. One thing I have realized is that RO lump works better in my small than WG, which I prefer for the Large. I have more or less started using each lump exclusively with the Egg it works best in. Let us know if you find any similar variables or differences.

      Is marinating ribeye common?  My usual prep for ribeye is just to let them get close to room temp, open the package, dry them off, sprinkle with a little kosher salt mix, maybe add a light sprinkling of my home made rib rub, and toss them into the egg.

      Yea I think it's common. I usually just do salt pepper on a room temp steak like you said, but saw this while I was shopping and wanted to try it. Was very easy and good.

      I allow my steaks to rest at room temperature for at least an hour before cooking.  during this period i rub in some Kikkoman "Marinade & Sauce" liquid.  Sprinkle some fresh couse ground black pepper and kosher salt on each side.

      Kikkoman on a steak is awesome.  Makes folks really wonder what's on it after it's cooked..
      I just use the Kikkoman low Sodium Soy Sauce and some Montreal Steak Seasoning.

      Nice break in cook @MrCookingNurse. Looks like you need to update your profile signature line to include the little one before it gets jealous of the LBGE.
