always go XL
I can't believe you guys have let this get to post 16 without...........Build an UDS!!!
If i had a choice I would get the XL, I have a large and sometimes it's just too small. Good Luck, whichever you pick you'll love it!

I have a large BGE and a few BUFORD UDS, best of both worlds.
Last party, I threw a couple butts on the BGE and ribs on BUFORD.
Plenty of food and some variety.
I have an XL and a family of 6. I'm glad I have the extra space. It's better to have it and not need it, than to need it an not have it.
unch:For $200 bucks more though I feel like if I don't get the XL someone should smack me.
I have an xl and I love it. You can get a lot of stuff on there with the extended racks. For small cooks use the divider plate and you only need half the lump. I was torn with the egg vs xl, but the xl had more options and capacity than the egg. Both are good cookers and you won't go wrong with either one ,I choose the xl because of the versatility and IT IS AMERICAN MADE!!!!

I have an Oval XL. I can't imagine having just an L. Only have a family of four and two girls who barely eat and still I wish I had extra room sometimes. Yes, there are many times an L would be sufficient, but half the time the XL is filled to capacity. If I've got company over I've got serious planning issues. Also, this isn't a Charbroiler that you throw out after three years. You're going to have this for the long haul and your kids are going to grow up. If you're even debating which one to get, then you need the XL.
For the record, this is the first time I've heard about a BGE XL not being easy to control. I've considered the BGE to be more or less interchangeable with the Primos and can't imagine anything easier, unless it's got an actual temperature dial on it. I really don't think this is an issue. If it is, I'm really confused. I've had people who've never used a grill before of any sort and I told them how to cook something over the farkin' phone from start to finish (even how to light the charcoal) and they did it and it turned out great. Really, I don't think this is an issue.
