Just got a note from Chris and the Mini made it to Afganistan. Said he had time to put it togather before he went on shift. Will have us pic's very soon.
Second box (just lump) not in yet. But I had put a 10 lb bag of lump in with the mini box.
He should be cooking Thur or Friday.
Salado TX & 30A  FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

    I received a nice 'thank you' from him. I'm pretty sure he's going to quickly make a name for himself and his unit: 92D MP BN

    Wonder if there's a ribbon for Great Egg'd Food?

    You did good Mickey.

    Cool, Mickey! Nice work. Still wondering how he's gonna cook for 80 hungry soldiers on a mini though. :)

    Regardless, Chris, thank you and the guys for all you do! Stay safe!!!

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Yes, I did also get a very nice "thank-you" from Chris.
    It was a joy to be able to write back to him and thank him for his service to all of us.
    God be with him!

    That was very nice of you Mickey to head the operation! A nice way for the troops to feel a little more at home. Just fantastic Mickey!

    Wow! That was fast!

    We also received a nice thank you note from Chris. It was very thoughtful of him to take the time to thank each of us individually. Looking forward to seeing pics of the mini being fired up so far away! And the resulting grins of his men!

    Mickey - Thanks for spearheading the effort to send the Mini to Chris. I also received a very nice 'Thank You' email from him.

    It is Chris and his fellow troops who deserve OUR thanks.

    Glad he received the mini, I'm sure he and his friends will enjoy it. The mini is great, but it's what he is doing for our Country that is really great.
