I just got my first egg (XL) a couple months ago.  I have a big family and cook a lot so I've been looking to add capacity.  I found a medium egg on Craigslist for $400 today and picked it up.  This Egg thing is an addiction!

    Hi, my name is Curt, and I...  =)

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    Congrats! I am super jealous, I have been contemplating on another egg and what size to compliment the XL. Mediums get a lot of love around here.

    Funny, I have a medium and am adding the XL in October at the eggfest in Ohio. Love my medium, just need more elbow room.

    Tell your wife that eggs are social animals that require a hierarchy and a leader otherwise they become disorderly.

    Funny....I have started with a med and yet want to add a MM for the tailgate flexibility. It is nice to have options to meet everyone's needs.

    Congrats on the new addition!!!  I have had my medium since '12 - love it.  Earlier this week, I took delivery of my new XL.  Can't wait to get the XL fired this weekend.  The more grills and Eggs, the merrier!  Although, my wife thinks I am a grill hoarder...

    Great deal.  A medium is ideal to cook for two or four.

    I have begun the hunt for the medium. My Beautiful Wife is unaware at this point, and, in fact, leaving today for DC to visit her sister. I am planning to head over to my BGE dealer, and just "see" what deals they may have. I have the XL and the MM. I need the middle sister to balance the clan.
    This is insane. I recognize it. The Kool Aid is delicious. Want some?
    Congrats on your purchase. I am envious.
