paul1927 Posted June 22, 2007 Report Posted June 22, 2007 Another poster mentioned that he thought the new Q design is appealing to women. I had the same feeling while with the original Q it seemed masculine. No, not a he-man, but masculine nonetheless. It is probably crazy, but sometimes crazy works. I think a tall (men like to build skyscrapers) masculine Q in addition to the current feminine Q would be very nice especially if a little Q is on the way. I'm thinking of the beautiful symbol of ying and yang and I guess there is some type of symbol for little Q. So let's have a BTW, I did more searching on those color changing tiles and did have a heart attack. One site the quote for a few tiles would equal the price of a supreme OTB Q!
leejp Posted June 22, 2007 Report Posted June 22, 2007 I'm waiting for a Baby model... Something I fire up quickly for just doing a couple of steaks and such but big enough that I can do a small pork butt or several 1/2 racks of ribs. Also small/light enough to throw in the van for camping. Same featureset (guru port and such... but maybe coleman fuel for the gas option)

Just EVERYTHING, in a smaller package. Good for you.
paul1927 Posted June 22, 2007 Author Report Posted June 22, 2007 I was thinking real baby. Two, half-pound burger capacity max, perhaps closer a single, half-pounder burger maximum capacity. And, I want it HEAVY. Maybe this is more a infant than a baby. I just can't see a light Q. Just the tiles alone start to add weight.

The Big Green Egg Mini is 30lbs (9-1/2" grill) and the small is 65lbs (13" grill). Somewhere in between should do and the texture finish should be fine. I would think that this would be THE ideal cooker for searing. It would take absolutely no time to get something this small puffing along at 700*F
paul1927 Posted June 22, 2007 Author Report Posted June 22, 2007 I wasn't too impressed with what I saw of the Big Green; that is compared to Dennis' Q. He really spoiled me. At the time I ordered I was hoping to at least get the quality of a Big Green--now I'd be very upset if that is what I receive. Customer service was just as much of a surprise with Dennis--yes, the replacement parts--expensive for Dennis to replace, btw-- took a long time to arrive, but he told me upfront what the problem was and how he was going to solve it. He was good to his word and I wasn't expecting that. A VERY HAPPY CAMPER!
macpiper Posted June 27, 2007 Report Posted June 27, 2007 ahhhhh.....my apartmental kingdom for a baby que......like a 13"-17"er (read 15") that would be so sweet....
