Let's say you were getting a second LBGE for free... would you keep it?

I would keep it but I might keep it 95 miles away at my parents house. That beats cooking the Thanksgiving Turkey at mine(past 3 years)and trying to get it still warm to their house. Since I have to drive them to most of their medical appointments(85 and 89) I am spending more and more time there.

Just so happens I had a large egg for years and this year I won an XL. I sold the large because I just don’t see me using both often enough to keep both. I have a Weber gasser and an old refrigerator I made into a smoker so I have enough to cover about anything.

I did.

Do you own any other grills/smokers beside your egg? How often do you use your current egg? How many people are you regularly cooking for? Do you do lots of hosting? Have the room for a second egg? Something an Adjustable Rig couldn't fix on your current egg? Sell it/trade it for something else? (I traded my XL, 2nd small, and The Good One Open Range smoker for a stick burner) Maybe you're looking for a Blackstone, pizza oven, etc.
All kinds of different ways of looking at it. Whatever best suits your situation. I think you'll be the only one who can truly answer your question.

Is this a rhetorical question?
Yeah, I'd keep it. Not sure if I'd keep it at home (have a large and mini already) or take it to the ranch. Probably take it to the ranch.

I can’t think of a single reason not to take it. I bet that guy that lost his dome the other day wishes someone would have given him a spare egg for free.

Yes I would. All your gear would work in both eggs.Large, Medium, MiniMax, & 22, and 36" Blackstone

Yeah, I'd probably keep it.
I've had a Large for several years, and came across an older XL with table for $350 on Craigslist a couple summers ago. I told my girlfriend that I'd use them both for a while, and then sell the one I used least.
Two years later, they're both still on the patio.
If the non-warrantied XL suddenly shattered, would I run out to buy a new one for full retail? Probably not; but the addition of a second Egg makes cooking much easier if you usually cook multiple things at different temperatures.Indianapolis, IN -

LBGE,SBGE, and a Mini makes three......Sweet home Alabama........ Stay thirsty my friends .

Yes. Of course. Happened to me once too:

One of my three kids will eventually take this egg with them when they leave. I am the caretaker of their 3 larges until they leave home. -
I have two larges. When my kid grows up and gets his own place, I'll buy him a large or two of his own as a housewarming gift.

having two is great as you can use the same accessories on both

Keep it? Not a chance. I already have a LBGE, two Webers and an Akorn Jr. I don't recall ever lighting two at the same time. And I rarely use the Webers. My sons have zero interest in grilling or a place to put an egg, so giving it to them is not an option. Likewise, my brother wants nothing to do with charcoal. If it was a Mini, I'd keep it. Otherwise, I would sell the new one in a heartbeat.
Never understood the egg "collector" mentality. @Florida Grillin Girl has 6! If I recall correctly, Little Steven had NINE!! I don't get it.
You know how much you cook and therefore, how many eggs you need.I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Part of the collection. Eggs are like underwear, you typically only wear one at a time. But it sure is nice having more than one. -
Of course, I'd keep it.
