What are the pros and cons of each assuming price isn't a factor?

Got the XL and have never regretted it. Plenty of real estate for ribs, chickens, briskets and anything else.
I agree with this. The L is big enough for me 99% of the time.ag0207 said:
If you plan to do frequent cooking and some quicker cooks the large is better. If you don't cook often but do large quantities (large brisket) then the XL.
I have a family of 4 and the large has been plenty. I have also cooked for parties on it (you can get 4-5 pork butts if not more on a large). Brisket wise I have been able to fit most 12-15 pounders on it without issue.
Yeah....Its called a stand alone. It comes with little feet instead of a cart to put it on should you choose to use them.Bayside Tiger Ag said:
Is there a way to get the KJ without the cart? Mine will be going into a dedicated space in an outdoor kitchen.
yes.hurricanejake02 said:
Regarding the Standalone model - you'll still likely get a better deal going to the Costco Road Show and throwing away the cart.

I do Costco 3-pack ribs in one go on my L with enough room. No cutting required. I can do two packs at a time now that i got a two layer rack.
What the hell kinda ribs are you cooking?
I have done a few briskets on my Large BGE. I dont worry about the size. I cut a piece of the flat off so that the brisket barely fits into the 18" egg and set that cut off piece on top of the brisket. It cooks there just fine, and you can remove it a little bit sooner than the other larger brisket.hurricanejake02 said:
I've had a harder time finding briskets that will fit on my 18" Classic Joe
