Me wants smoked ribs

I've had one for several years and love it. The first turkey I did for Thanksgiving was a 26 lb. monster. Darn near didn't get the lid closed on it. Brined it for a day, put a good rub under the skin and put it on at about 4 a.m. It cooked a llllooonnnggg time, but was worth it.

I did a whole brisket last year that came our really well, or so I'm told.

Truth be told, my only frustration is the amount of cooking space. I have a Large and would like to have the XL. for more cooking area.

But as all have said, you can't beat what comes off the Egg.

I chose an XL largely because our meals are always for a minimum of four and I can usually use the extra space on the grill. I also didn't give the decision a whole lot of thought at the time.

As I have been following the Egg forums I have learned that many prefer to use a large and a small (or med) instead of an XL because of the flexibility it gives them. You can have a couple of things going at significantly different temps or you can simply choose which size cooking surface you need.

If you are doing a lot of monster turkeys you could probably use an XL but maybe you could just get another smaller egg and have a better solution? I think that for the price of an XL you could just about cover a large and a small. I think that 2 larges would be great because you can share accessories. Just what we need...another AD.

You're right. Two large eggs would be ideal, I think. Hmmmm, he says while scratching his head and rubbing his chin.
