Yeah, I finally got a mini! I found a GREAT dealer in Colebrook, NH - North Country Pools and Spas. I would highly recommend them, they gave me a great price, gave me a bag of lump and 15% off any accessories I bought that day. Plus they were VERY friendly and helpful.

    I haven't made a decision yet on what will be the first cook. Any suggestions? Is it the same for a mini as the other eggs that you should take it easy for a while with temps to let the gasket set? What was your first cook on your mini?
    How do you carry yours around? Would it fit in a milk crate? We want to take ours camping and stuff next summer but we don't want it damaged in the travel and we are trying to think of a way to keep it safe while traveling.

    p.s. I wrote a reply to your other post about the dealer in Bangor, I've all but given up on them!

    do all three Pam! that is a great way to carry it. we just stuffed it in a plastic crate. an old milk one I think it is. I think we did burgers first. with a pouch of onions in red wine with a beef bullion cube. yummy! I forget who posted the recipe a while back but they are good!

    yea it is a must have, lot of fun, I probably do about 1/2 my cooks on it giving the large a break, & saving a lot of lump too; it's just me & my daughter tomorrow night & she has requested (demanded :evil: ) the maple salmon, she is a sweetheart :P . Still trying to iron out the heat issues although, the coals are so close to the grid you do have to be extra careful or you get charr, what are long beer pauses on the large are more like beer sip pauses now, but its all good

    Marc,


    I am going to ask Santa for one. Some of the people that I respect most on this forum swear by them.

    Look at the mini-woo2 to raise the grid a little. I use it every time I use the mini. It is terrific.

    Marc..

    Another alternate to the mini woo ring would be to invest in an extra fire ring for your mini. It will take your grid a few inches higher from the fire allowing for more beer sipping time...

    Thanks for the Pizza tips you shared at Wess's TikiFest.....good stuff...

    Richard, it was great to meet you, what a party. I wouldn't have thought an extra ring would fit in there, very interesting, gonna look at that next to the device Fidel recommended & bust a move, the beer enjoyment is suffering :lol:
