Mini In the future. Possibly.

So give me the pros/cons to the mini.

Seems I may be getting a good deal on one. I'm sure this is something that's been beat to death. But work has caused me to not want to do much research tonight. What are the 1st accessories you would buy, ect. I currently have a large.

Buy a High Que, a Woo, SS Grid, 10" Lodge, and a Mini Wok. Oh, a Carten for sure. Having all that is the reason I am not getting rid of my Mini now that I have a Mini Max.

The mini kicks ass in so many ways that I don't even know where to start. First, it's a searing machine. Next, for small or quick cooks the mini really shines. Third, lump use is minimal. Fourth, it's extremely portable. On top of that, it's just a joy to cook on. I wish I would have bought one years ago. I highly recommend the mighty mini.

@bcsnave‌ I did. Dude lives less than an hr from me. I've almost talked the Boss into. So, I can't wait!

I'd like it for all those reasons @SGH‌

Can't stand going somewhere and having to use someone's crappy grill.

@central_bama_egger I would not get that mini. It has the old scissor hinge which from experience is very frustrating compared to the newer hinges. It also has the old fire ring which won't hold the plate setter. Also you won't have a warranty obviously and the minis do crack just like other eggs. My mini base just cracked under 2 months ago. For just over $300 you can pick up a demo mini at egging in the mountains in May and get to come to a good fest and have a lifetime warranty. Or just watch for deal I picked up a brand new mini in the box from a dealer going out of business for $300 a month or so ago.

Thanks to Lit I was able to pick up my mini from the same dealer going out of business. Can't beat the lifetime warranty. I'll be ordering the Hi-Que grate soon and hopefully down the road the mini woo with pizza stones. Due to budget constraints, I've had to fashion a platesetter for indirect cooking - but it works for now. It is the perfect compliment to my large egg. I don't have the egg carten but have had no problem taking it on the road with me.
