Me	Ramblin Wregger, I am a 5'9\" 209 llb female who can easily lift a small to take anywhere. I did carry (by myself) my large from the car to my deck but mind you it was in pcs...top/bottom/fire ring/fire box/daisy wheel...a little at a time I love my l/s combo and there is only 2 of us.
Wise One	Ramblin Wregger, take it from a fellow NATS graduate, go with the small. If you're looking for portability as well as enough to cook effectively for two (I know you said you're single but I assume that you let one other person hang around) the small fills the bill. The medium is just too large to try to move around. The small has a lot more grill space (and accessories) than the mini.
Essex County	Ramblin Wregger, I agree with fishless. If you're just cooking for yourself, go with the small. I have a large, small, and mini. The small is big enough to cook a complete meal for 2 and can grill or smoke. Even if I'm cooking for myself, I use the small more often than the mini. Paul
fishlessman	Ramblin Wregger, ive got some of those friends, they come and drink your beer. hide it. they may still come but now they must bring their own beer, drink theirs. the small makes a great second egg, it has a 13 inch grill so draw that out and you will see it will hold 2 big steaks or one huge steak, 13 inches is big enough for a good sized roast as well. it also uses less lump so you will get a savings over using the large for small cooks. i use it more as a grill than a smoker, but it can smoke a rack of ribs easy enough.
