Only worth it if you regularly cook for 20+ people or cater events; almost every other buyer, including large families, will be better served and less frustrated by the Large or XLarge.

Pros

  • Massive capacity (30+ lbs of lump charcoal) built for catering-scale or large family gatherings
  • Same ceramic heat retention and versatility as smaller Eggs, just scaled up
  • Built to last (ceramic)
  • Ceramic holds heat and moisture — grill, smoke or bake

Watch-outs

  • Multiple long-time dual-Egg owners say they only fire the 2XL 3-6 times a year for big parties and use a smaller Egg the rest of the time
  • Highest price point in the lineup and the most floor space required
  • Overkill and wasteful of fuel for weeknight or small-group cooking
  • Heavy (375 lb) — pick its spot and leave it

Known niggles

  • Owners with smaller households report it has too much thermal mass to be fuel-efficient for everyday, small cooks
  • Very heavy and awkward to reposition — effectively a two-person job once placed
  • Some reports of dome/ceramic chipping from shipping and handling given its size
