I have owned a Medium BGE for a while now and absolutly love it. I use it 99% of the time. It is great for pizza, spatchcock chicken, pork tenderloin, grilling steaks & porkchops.......etc. I will own one for the rest of my life.
When I use it as a smoker for ribs I do not get enough smoke flavor. It is as close to set it & forget it as I have seen or used. The meat is the most moist & tender that I have ever done..........but hardly any smoke flavor at all.
I have tried chips & chunks, soaked & dry, buried & on top. They seem to always burn up in the first hour of the cook.
I am going to retire my Klose (to big of a footprint for the new patio & to much hassle for my lazy ass) and was stongly considering getting the XL Egg for smoking to go along with my Medium but now I am thinking I may need to consider the WSM for more smoke flavor.
Any thoughts or tips from those that own one or both would be helpful.
