Blew past a budget on my kitchen remodel, we are now wrapping up, even broke the glass top on a $2500 stove. Its been a busy couple months but found room for the demo large and $300 + in egg gear.
Go for it!
BTW I am questioning the induction range , since all I do is cook outside.
When factoring in remodel costs... What's another $1500 in the grand scheme right.Seattle, WA -
What size egg do you have now?
Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg. -
I have two XLs and love them. Just me and the wife most of the time but we have neighbors and friends over at least twice each week. The other weekend I was cooking 2 nine pound butts and a full packer brisket on one for over 22 hours. I cooked steaks on the other that night and then did the appetizers for the party the next day on the second one. The versatility and grate space is wonderful.
Two XL BGEs - So Happy!!!!

Buy the biggest one you can afford. Size provides all sorts of flexibility, and uses no more lump than you choose to load. Portability, now that is another question.

I bought my XL Egg at the Porkopolis event last year. I'll be there again this year.
And why should you do it, BECAUSE YOU CAN!

I have had 2 larges and loved that all of my tools worked in both Eggs (saved money from buying another size). However just sold one large to get the XL. There are times the extra real estate will come in handy. (also have a small too)2 Large Eggs and no chickens. How's that work?

I have a large now for just over 1 year! Cooked exclusively on it all summer and most of fall. Did not even use my oven or range. Reason I am looking at doing it is price $1075 and the savings of $465 and also having the ability to cook for our extended family and friends. We have recently remodeled the main floor and we are extending and remodeling the back patio area. I am thinking of doing a poured concrete counter for the egg and figured do it now with 2 eggs or have to reset when 2 come into the picture. Also it would be nice to cook at different temperatures. We don't travel but could see maybe when the boys get bigger to get a small one day.

Love my xl but thinking about getting a small to use and also to take with camping , other places.

LOVE my XL. Even cooked steaks during Snowmagedon (winter 2010) and had to shovel a 2ft wide path in snow 4ft deep to get to it...

$1075 is the Eggfest price? Perhaps it's the location, but seems high for a discounted rate.

The large is plenty big for me and I have a family of three but have cooked for six. I am considering a mini to take one on the road from time to time.Dave - Austin, TX

It is late on a Friday night (EDT) but I have read your initial post a couple of times-it would appear that you are asking if you need to buy an XLBGE but then you mention a LBGE. Given you have a LBGE then I would buy another LBGE if only to share the toys. Just an opinion and we all know what those are worth-but at the end of the day you will do what you want., as it should beLouisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

After 3 years of my Large, I bought a mini, mainly for portability.
Works great for 2-person cooks, and travels well to our hideaway on the Oregon Coast.
Both are near-ideal sizes!

You should definitely buy it. Just think of it this way. You are going to save money in the long run by not having to redo your outdoor kitchen setup.

Two eggs is amazing. Your gonna be mind blown having two set ups!
2 larges share toys. I have a small/large combo and travel with my small.
An extra large would be amazing!!!
Your gonna love it!! If your thinking about it, your gonna buy it!
Next extra grand I get is going toward a egg feat xl_______________________________________________XLBGE -
XL is the next BGE on my list.

Welcome to the Swamp.....GO GATORS!!!! -
Sell your buddy your large, then just pay the difference -- you get a super deal!! I have a large, with all the gizmos to cook on different levels, and cook for three adults, but have cooked for 150 people for family reunions. I have been busy lately cooking complete meals, all on the same egg by just adding the sides at different times -- it's easy! The only reason i might want an additional egg is for baking, and i don't do a lot of that! I have friends who have multiple eggs, i have never seen them using both at the same time???

I'd never sell an egg I purchased new with warranty._______________________________________________XLBGE

I have 3 eggs (Xl, small & mini) and I can tell you that multiple eggs humming at the same time ROCKS! It solves problems like different temps needed, direct/indirect adds real estate. Sure you may not NEED another egg, you want it because you enjoy egging. If need was the criteria, we could cook on cheaper utilitarian cookers (a.k.a. no frill grills).
@Owossoegger said something related to this today. He said people NEED furniture, but to buy an egg, they gotta want it.
