re: Strongly considering getting a Big Green Egg grill. Any thoughts, advice and tips?

While true, I can easily cook 3 racks of ribs or 2 8-10 lb boston butts on my large egg. That's plenty of food. If you need something more than that often than honestly none of the ceramics are good for you. I cook probably 15 butts a year and the large does great.

The XL takes a LOT more coals especially for long cooks than a large. Not a huge deal, but its very noticeable.

OP, you really need to figure out what you need most and buy that grill. No ceramic grill is perfect. It should last you 10 years if not 20 or more. I wouldn't go cheap, $400 over even 5 years for a better grill you will enjoy using is money well spent.
