I already have a large. Was thinking small or medium for the next one. What has everyone else done?

Second Large and a Mini.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

If you aren't looking for portability large large makes a ton of sense with respect to accessories and room.

I've had L M combo and now have L L combo. I only upgraded because I got a deal on a demo L that came with a cast iron grate. The M was a little more efficient on charcoal but using all my eggsessories on both eggs is really nice too. I would like to add a small for tailgating someday.L x2, M, S, Mini and a Blackstone 36.

Large / Small combo is what we went with and we love it! I travel with the small quite often and can make meals for a crowd while away from my backyard. When I use both I sear on the small and finish on the Large and it works great.Large & Small BGE, CGW Two-Tier Swing Rack for BOTH EGGS, Spider for the Wok, eggCARTen & and Cedar Pergola my Eggs call home in Edmond, OK.

Small and a black mini

I have two large, two small and 2 minis. One of each in two different locations. The large is a must have for me and I find I use the smalls much more than I thought I would. The minis are not used that often.

I have a Large/Medium combo and love it. However if I were to just have the Large I would probably go wit another Large just for the fact of being able to use the same accessories on both

You didn't mention how many people you usually cook for. It's just Mrs G and me during the week, so the Mini gets it done most nights. On the weekends, we usually entertain, so the Large/Mini combo works great. Especially if my pescaterian cousin comes over. He can cook his own dinner on the Mini while I cook for everybody else on the Large.

I have 2 large and the fact that accessories are interchangeable makes it the best combo for me.

I'm at number 11, right now, 3 mini's, 2 small's, 1 medium, 4 large's, and 1 extra large, I need one more for a dozen that's my goal then I have to stop. If I can !

Totally agree with @Griffin, it really depends on what your typical cook would be and how you cook. I have a Large, Medium, and a small. The medium gets the most use for my family of 2 adults one elementary age child, and one toddler. However if all I was preparing for the family was the proteins I could probably use the small most nights.I typically cook the entire meal on the Egg with the only thing that doesn't see time on the Egg at some point is my wife's soda.I raise my kids, cook and golf. When work gets in the way I'm pissed, I'm pissed off 48 weeks a year.Inbetween Iowa and Colorado, not close to anything remotely entertaining outside of football season.

I have a large and I am thinking about getting a mini for camping and family vacations. Will the mini hold enough charcoal to smoke a pork shoulder for about 16 hours?

I went with the second large because of being able to use the accessories on both. Have not regretted it at all.
