    @Farbuck just curious but what led to your final decision. What was your reasoning? I'm on the fence between second Egg and saving for my bar at our new house we don't have yet.

    @Egghead_Daron I decided on the two large setup because a single large sometimes isn't quite big enough.  Yet a large Egg isn't all that large.   I figured that anything smaller than a second arge, while convenient, might not really serve any function.  If I bought, say, a medium as my second Egg, then it wouldn't be all that different so I might as well use the large.  But if I'm cooking for a crowd, having 2 larges would add a lot more cooking area than a large and a medium.

    Sorry if I'm rambling but I think i'll get more use out of the 2 large Egg setup than any other combination.

    The mini was my choice only due to portability. Not much real estate, but you can get a small butt, rack of ribs or even a pork tenderloin on it with some creativity. Large and a mini does me right. The minimax looks interesting, but I have my mini all pimped out with accessories (wok, CI grid, woo, etc), so hate to let that go to waste.

    @Farbuck‌ I just added a second large last Friday for the very same reasons.

    I did the mini as my first egg, then bought a large. Wonder if that's a first.

    Decided to go with a second large.  It'll be delivered tomorrow and I'll be assembling it Saturday.  Counting the hours...

    Every time I contemplate getting rid of the medium, I end up with a cook where three eggs allows for much more precise serving timing.

    @Maccool - Nice set up you have there. While the L and L combo works great, I love having the M too. M is actually my favorite one to cook on. It just seems easier/faster to control temp for me. I've had several people offer to buy my M and I just won't sell it.
