I already have a Guru that I use on my XLBGE and MBGE. Thankfully the blower door is the same size, just need to flip it.

My question is if anyone knows if the SBGE door is the same size as the Mini Max? Can I just buy the SBGE blower door and use that?

    I believe that the SBGE draft door is the same size. I'm looking at doing the same except with a Stoker on our MM.

    Was looking at the stoker as well, but I already got the Guru. Another thing of concern is the fan size. I think the one I have might be too over powering for the MM.

    Maybe just buy another whole kit that way I can have both going at the same time. :D

    Just looked at the Guru site and they recommend that same pit viper fan I have for the small and the mini so it should be good for the MM.

    I would assume BGE is using the same size door on the small, mini, and MM. Can anyone confirm before I order?

    I also have the Guru...and I would think that the fan size for the MM really wouldn't be an issue considering the adapter for the fan has that limiter you can control the air flow into the egg....  I think that would work fine. but I could be wrong.
