If you have a normal sized family, I think a BGE or any ceramic smoker would work best. I have a large and it will still fit three big Costco racks of ribs (albeit, I do have to cut them in half; also, try to ignore the bbq sauce in the pic, kids and wife like it) or really anything else you're looking to cook. I almost never use my offset anymore because there is really no difference in flavor and the egg is much easier to use.
