Covey, unless you have the XL or XXL Green Egg, good luck getting a whole brisket on your egg. I was in BBQ Galore yesterday killing time and was looking at the Eggs, Salesmen was going on and on about how great they were. I pulled out my phone and showed him pictures of what I cooked on Friday night and Sat and asked him how he would have fit the 2 tins of Mac & Cheese and the tin of burnt ends on the Green Egg. He said it will all fit on the XXL which I said it might but for $5500 and over 400lbs, I don't expect you will be selling too many. also, let me know how 3 rectangle trays fit on a round grill. Don't get me wrong, I think the BGE cook great but the shape is way too impractical for what I cook. And I'm sure you would have to trim off some of the brisket for it to fit on the XL BGE.
Now, what to cook this wkd??? Pulled Pork, Baby back ribs, stuffed burgers, beef short ribs... decisions, decisions...
Have fun guys, I love this thread.

Cheers,

I think my egg is just a large, anyway it has an 18 inch circular grate. I have cooked brisket on it before as well as very large pork butt and I was able to do over 18 hours without fussing with the heat. I am a little bit paleo and I usually only do the meat on the grill. Unless I am doing steak, I very seldom put anything else on the grill until after the meat is off and resting. Anyway my egg cooks low and slow better than my Bradley, but I have a use for both.
