I have a large egg and have been very happy with it. I use the adjustable rig and spider quite a bit.

The cast iron grate is a bit heavy, but I like the way it sears. Also, I just like the way it looks (which is irrelevant to most people).

I'm just curious, but what (if any) difference is there in charcoal consumption between the L and XL? Also, I would think that temperature control on the XL may be a bit more difficult. I have nothing to base that on, just curious.
