Hi. I just recently purchased a Medium Big Green Egg, and I love the way it cooks. I am going to sell my very nice Weber Genesis and only use a kamado type cooker from here forward. The problem with my Medium Egg is it's very difficult to fit a lot of food onto it, the grid extender made for it and the Large is really only made for the large as it does not fit the Medium well, and it's very difficult to indirect cook and direct cook simultaneously if not impossible. I tried to bring this kind of subject up on the Egg Forum, which I love by the way, and I think a few fellows got a little upset with me, and so here I am.
I cooked over the weekend just eight burgers and seven hot dogs plus toasting the buns all at once, and it was just a nightmare on the Medium. I'm thinking of getting a Woo2, but I still think that would be difficult to cook on as your first grid is still going to be several inches down into the cooker, and once again the grid extender does not fit well if you wanted to go up higher with the first grid. I am thinking of either getting a, 1, Large Big Green Egg, 2, Primo Oval, Jr, or, 3, spend the money and get the big boy, XL Primo. Considering I will be cooking most often for my wife and I only, though, and the Large BGE comes with a lot of handy gadgets from ceramic grill store, I'm torn on what to do. And I don't know if the Primo's quality matches the Egg or not. There was a point I was even pondering a Big Steel Keg purchase. For the money and quality, what is everyone's opinions on the differences between these cookers I mentioned, and could my Medium Egg suffice if rigged right; and if so, how should I rig it? Also, is it more that the Large BGE matches up more with the Primo Oval, Jr. and not the XL?
I know it's a lot of questions, but I need lots of answers. I appreciate your patience in reviewing my blog, and your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
