We love our Baby Q. We had a big four-burner BBQ years ago that we ended getting rid of because it was slow and messy to use. We bought the Baby Q because we figured it was little and potrable for the odd occasion we might BBQ - but then discovered it was so good and quick as a BBQ we wish we'd got the bigger version! It IS pretty small - my one annoyance is that I find I have to cook in batches for big groups, especially if I am using the hot plate because it is even smaller. If I had the money I would consider getting the Family Q.
