have you ever tried the one with the disks? Can you recommend a good size one that I could get 3 or so briskets and porks in at the same time..

thanks

mine's got 4 racks in it. actually too much space for what i do. i usually do one pork butt at a time and throw in a chicken or two for salads and stuff.
now i'm thinking about a medium egg if and when i ever move back to fl.

Medium...or Large...would be perfect!

My folks have had the the green egg for about 40 years. Like Talon said, that one came from Japan, Dad got it from somebody who he did a favour for. Dad always refered to it as a hibachi stove but I had thought those were the small table tops. He says it's just the best BBQ pit he every had.

Wow!
....that was the real McCoy...a kamodo!
I've never seen one, but have heard of a few. They were usually decorated with ornate ceramic tiles.....but could be delicate to handle and were easily cracked.

The Big Green Eggs are made outta some kindda tougher ceramic...but is basically the same.

There is a reason these types of cookers are centuries old....they work, and work well!

...(I thought the high-b!tchy grills were little ones, too!)

I've heard severl people say the egg is great.
I just can't afford one at this time.


It would seem that an electric smoker would keep a constant temp and
all you would need is to add some wood for the smoking.

Yes!
...and I almost went that route.

But you can't grill with them & I would get nervous during a rain storm, worried it might short out.

It rained all night during my brisket cook....and no worries!
