Every EGG cooks the same
The ceramics, the temperature control and the lifetime warranty are identical across the line. You are choosing grid diameter and how much charcoal the firebox holds — nothing about flavor or capability changes with size.
Size by size
A quick way to translate grid space into dinner:
- MiniMax — portable, boat and tailgate size; a few steaks or chicken pieces at a time.
- Small — balconies and small patios; dinner for two to four.
- Medium — the compact everyday EGG; four to six people comfortably.
- Large — the most popular size by far; ribs, a turkey, or burgers for a party.
- XLarge — entertaining size; multiple racks of ribs or two turkeys at once.
How to pick
Start with the Large unless the space or the crowd says otherwise. It handles low-and-slow briskets, pizza and a weeknight burger equally well, and it is the size most accessories are designed around.
Measure your nest or table footprint before you buy — the EGG needs clearance behind it for the hinge and space beside it for a landing surface.
Budget for the setup
An EGG is a cooker plus a home: a nest with handler and casters, or a table or modular frame. Add a convEGGtor for indirect cooking, lump charcoal and a thermometer, and you are cooking the day it arrives.
Bring your patio dimensions and a photo to the store in Delray Beach and we will spec the size, the stand and the accessories together.
