I have a large BGE and use to cook fer 5-6 folks all the time on it. Family has downsized so now 2-4. I have a 3 tier grate fer big cooks but the regular grate will accommodate 2 x 10 lb butts w/ ease. I have been using my egg fer years now and it took a while to be comfortable enough to fork out that case fer the egg but once you rationalize the cost of a good gas grill and they only lasted me 3-4 years, 2 grills paid fer my egg! U won't regret the BGE, and there is actually a forum I have belonged to fer a while that is LOADED w/ ideas and tips!!!
