I know I am kind of late to this party, but I was making this same choice and I ultimately decided on the 23. My reasoning is this- if I am entertaining for a large crowd I am either doing a large cut of meat or a low and slow. I will not be grilling small pieces of meat for a party. I did that once and I hated it because I never got to relax and just enjoy the company. The 23 will hold a large cut of meat or enough BBQ for a fairly large crowd. While I kind of wanted the space, I knew that I, personally, would not need the space because of how I like to cook.

 

I hear you.....and makes sense, i don't mind grilling for 5-6 people, any more and it can become a chore.

Christmas was at home this year so i went full on into the cooks starting the day prior with 2 pork shoulders of which one took a full 2hrs+ more to get to temp than the other, so by the time i got the chicken wings on it was late into the night, the ribeye roast was going to be started early morning anyways. If there were 2 cookers life would've been a lot easier.

Somehow i get the feeling i keep answering my own questions, but i appreciate the input from you forum members

Thnx for the welcomes and advice people, been talking with the wife and come to realise that what many of you are saying rings true, which is better to have the extra capacity and not need it than to need it and not have it. Also paying around the extra 20% for the BB 32 is a no-brainer for me.  

i don't know who's this one is but i pinched it of the forum to show my lady.....she's gorgeous.....and so is my wife 

Hi all, i'm from Fremantle Western Aus. and pretty close to pulling the trigger on a KK (with the wife's blessing of course).  Been reading and digesting heaps of info from the great site, but i'm still stuck on whether to get the 32 or 23. Sounds like Dennis has created a wondrous thing here

Got myself a BigJoe about 8-9 months ago and have really enjoyed the kamado cooking since, but now i thinks its time to step-up to the next level. Most of the time its just the wife and myself, but every once and a while we have a family do on or one of the kids will invite the horde over (hey pop you gonna cook for us), hence where the BB32 comes into the fold. But then i'm thinking get the 23 and keep BigJoe as back-up.

If any one can chime in and ease my mind with the weight of the BB32 (400kg's+) not sure how wide the wheels are on it but my patio surface is this product http://www.stoneset.com.au/, so is my driveway, probably nothing to worry about. 

Anyways today I'm a square tile Terra Blue kinda guy and looking forward to joining the club.
