WRX seats unbolted in 2 seconds, so it required a bit of pre-planning.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Thu Apr 12, 2018 2:26 pmYeah non-folding rear seat is useless on a sedan. Many BMWs don't, er, didn't, have folding rears in the E90 generation. IIRC 1st gen WRX's didn't have folding seats in the sedans either.SAWCE wrote: ↑Thu Apr 12, 2018 2:24 pm
Worst was went I went to Ikea with a buddy in his TL and bought the 2x4 cube Expedit and we learned that the TL doesn't have any pass-through at all.. Rear seats dont fold down on his MY. That was a cramped ride home.. I'm 6'3 and he's 6'5" and the box was probably 5.5" long or so plus a few feet wide.

Is 5/7. We’ve had ours for two years now and haven’t looked back. Zilch can speak more on the smoking abilities, I only do the eating. But everything that comes off of it is damn good.Slowbro9001 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 12, 2018 8:43 pmIs the BGE everything I think it is? Or is it moar?Sno wrote:We finally found 70 degrees today.

Benefits of egg is mostly versatility
Gets got enough and holds heat well enough to grill year round
Low and slow cooking/smoking
Ability to get super hot. Beyond 900 degrees if you really wanted to.
Lifetime warranty is a plus ceramics will likely crack at some point.
Basically, if you like the idea of grilling year round and are looking for something with a bit more versatility then it might be worth it.
If all you do is burgers and steaks on nice days, then probably not worth it.
Fwiw, if grilling something quick, or if I need extra grill space I use the Weber.

I still love my Webers and actually prefer to smoke on the Weber Smokey Mountain. For grilling I like the egg since I can do 1000F steaks for 1.5 minutes a side and they are insane.
The BGE is also expensive. I bought the XL which is about the size of the 22" Weber, but it was bank.
We have a medium and have been more than happy with it but we are a household of two and rarely have enough people over to warrant anything larger. Zilch originally wanted the large and when I talked to the sales guys about it, he made me very comfortable that the medium would be more than enough for us without feeling like I was going to get Zilch something that was almoooooost what he wanted but not quite. The sales guy mentioned multiple times that you could put an extra large and a medium in his back yard and 95% of the time, he'd cook on the medium. That when they cooked out for the staff there at the store, they even just fired up the medium. And it's a sales guy, its in his best interest to upsale me.CorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Thu Apr 12, 2018 9:59 pmI still love my Webers and actually prefer to smoke on the Weber Smokey Mountain.

If you cook out for dozens of people on the regular, I could justify it. Otherwise, I think a lot of times, a medium does great. But yes, bank either way, and only the difference of about a couple hundred between the sizes so if you're going to do it, you might as well do it.
I always suggest looking for them after events. About once a year, every egg dealer will do an outdoor grilling event where they put about 30 of them to use and then need to get rid of them because they can't sell them at full price. They get sold at a discount and it's about the only time you'll see them on sale. StripeThree just picked one up this way.

so you should move somewhere with more friends and get the larger grill.Sno wrote: ↑Fri Apr 13, 2018 7:28 amWe have a medium and have been more than happy with it but we are a household of two and rarely have enough people over to warrant anything larger.

TL;DR
I have the og orginal size. It was a hand me down from my dad when he upgraded to the massive oval XL. For large racks of ribs and some roast, the oval is way better. The smaller size just cant handle the bigCorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Thu Apr 12, 2018 9:59 pmI still love my Webers and actually prefer to smoke on the Weber Smokey Mountain.

especially if you are trying to do multiple things like chicken and ribs... even with the double rack.

Thats why I went bigger. As Snow mentioned, my salesman tried to put me in a standard size telling me I'd probably never use it...dubshow wrote: ↑Fri Apr 13, 2018 9:03 amI have the og orginal size.

But we do cook brisket and pork butts at the same time a few times a year.
I used to have 2 of the 18" Smokey Mountains and it sucked trying to shoehorn them into them, so I got the 22" WSM.
When we BBQ I usually try to have left overs to eat over the week and that meat can go into a lot of dishes for some awesome flavor. And, it doesn't help that my sister owns the house next door, so they smell the smoker and start pooping their heads over the fence. My youngest nephew isn't even trying to be subtle about it.
