What size Cast Iron Dutch Oven for Large Egg?

Posts: 6
Hi Everyone!
I'm looking to do Over The Top Chili about 16 times for football season this year (possible exaggeration). The question that I have is how big of a dutch oven can I buy, dimension-wise; before the lid won't close? As I understand it, the chili goes in the dutch oven, and the grate sits on top of the cast iron directly with a meat ball.
So, when the grate is raised up, how high can it go before I have issues closing the lid? Hopefully what I'm asking makes sense. Thanks everyone! Skol Vikings! #EggOn!

how big do you need, my 7.5 quart enamelled lodge fits well in the large, for more headroom you can drop it lower with a cgs spider

This 5qt is the bee's knees.

Just Vote- What if you could choose "none of the above" on an election ballot? Millions of Americans do just that, in effect, by not voting. The result in 2016: "Nobody" won more counties, more states, and more electoral votes than either candidate for president.
