I'm new here but sure this has been posted before. I'm going to try and find a new way to beat the ol dead horse. I'm trying to decide between a Primo Oval XL and the XL Egg. Why this size? I like to smoke pork butt in a pan with a sop, and the large Egg won't fit a pan big enough for 2 butts. I'm not sure about the Primo. It should but not certain. I haven't found a retailer with a dedicated grilling section to try it and see on.
Some things I noticed: The Primo's lid is heavier than the Egg's. Maybe some modifications in the springs could help.
I also noticed that the Primo's lid was as deep as the egg's. Is this true, and could it affect the clearance for food?
I like the dividable firebox, though I'm sure I could come up with something to divide the firebox on an egg. Also, I hear of half grates for the Egg now. Possibly could rig some form of a half-deflector plate.
I've heard the the XL Egg doesn't do "low and slow" very well. Anybody with any experience doing this on an XL Egg?
I've heard the the Primo isn't as good with heat retension or distribution. Is this true?
How much lump do each of these hold, and how much cook time can I expect from each?
Finally, if anybody has experience with both of these, how would you compare them? Apples to oranges or gala to red delicious?
Seeing as how I'm not asking which is best but which would be best for me, is there anything else I should consider?
