New toys for the mini.

I haven't got to cook in quite some time due to working long hours. However I thought I would put a little of this money to good use and get the mini ready for when I'm home. Picked up a woo from the CGS, a couple of pizza stones from Amazon for indirect cooking (recommended by @Mickey) and a High Q Grate. Getting the mini tuned up and ready my friends. Now I just need some time off.

All good stuff right there! Now get a Rutland from RRP and you'll be all set. The thing I hated about my stock gasket was that it hung over the inside edge of both the dome and the base by about a quarter inch making it a real pain to get the woo in and out. The grate would also interfere with the dome gasket with the woo in there unless it was perfectly centered. Now I have the Rutland installed and the whole set-up is pure money.L x2, M, S, Mini and a Blackstone 36. She says I have enough now....eggAddict from MN!

only three items to go brother. First a Mini Wok from the Wok Shop in San Francisco (say hello to Ms Chan for me), and a Lodge griddle Lodgehttp://www.missionrs.com/lodge-manufacturing-70gh2-cast-iron-griddle-9-1-4-inch-round-no-handle.html. That pic is the MM but same one for the Mini.
And third a Carten:Egg Carten / Scott Lewis / 281.714.7009Slewis87@msn.com...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 bet that hi-que grate would fit on the top vent of a bigger egg. Would work perfect for nuclear searing on the top.A bison’s level of aggressiveness, both physical and passive, is legendary. - NPS

@SGH, I would have loved to have gotten a mini, but SWMBO said no, but yes to this. It's called a Kahuna and does a decent job of cooking , but I know the mini would get up to temp faster and have more toys. It is my weekday cooker for burgers, steaks, and chicken. Gets to 400 in a little over 15 minutes. The XL takes at least twice that and burns more lump.XL, WSM, Coleman Road Trip Gas GrillKansas City, Mo.

If he will take 225, I wouldn't even bat a eye. I would scoop that right up.
