I'm seriously thinking about adding a Small BGE to compliment my Large BGE, for when I'm just cooking for the wife and I... and I figure it's small enough that I can bring it along on camping trips. This might be a silly question, but can the Small hold enough lump to bring it up to a TRex steak-searing 750 degrees? Are there any downsides to a small that I should be aware of?
And if anybody owns a DigiQ II with 10 cfm fan, will the 10 cfm fan be too big for the Small? (I assume I can just close up the damper on the fan, and I'll be good to go...)
Thanks!! :woohoo:

The mini does this with relative ease:
When we went camping this summer there were 8 of us and I cooked at least one meal every day for a week, including pizzas....
The 10 CFM fan has a sliding damper in the output barrel. You can reduce the airflow by adjusting it.

I beg to differ.The small has more accessories available like a platesetter and cast iron grid which makes it more versitle than the mini. The mini can cook direct only
As far as TRexing on the small - good luck with that. I have only had my small for about four years and in that time I think I got the temp over 600 once and I believe that was only because of the cheap lump I had in there.
So if you HAVE to have high temps, the small is not the egg for you - for everything else it is great.
I have a large and a small and really enjoy both.
Also, the small is a very good portable grill, especially if you use the transporter.

I built it in about 30 minutes and it is really handy when moving your small. Just remember to move it from underneath.

But the nice thing about the small is that it will share fire with the large...
