Mini to the max

Lit · April 2013

Finally got around to taking the notches out of the mini fire ring so the plate setter fits in better leaving more space. Used the tile cutter attachment for the dremel to cut th efire ring. Decided to test the capacity with a 6.5 pound shoulder. Barely fit and hope the lump lasts..

That's a full load!

Nice work witht the Dremel, cool mod.

Ridin' dirty with no drip pan?

This is exactly the sort of thing I was thinking of when wondering about using a drip pan loaded up with sand rather than a PS. No room for a drip pan AND PS, but with the sand it would still work as a heat deflector and the sand could be thrown out for easy clean up.

Looks awesome as is though, let us know how it turns out...

Nice job! That is pretty cool that you have enough meat for like 15 sammies on a mini.

Cook is going well. Temp got over 350 for a little and it got a nice crust fast so I flipped it and am back down around 300 now. Temp just checked at 160

Great job and great idea, I would love to hear how the burn goes, we do a lot of camping in the summer. How long does the lump on a slow cook last? Would love to get a mini for the river boat and camper.

Nice cutting board @Lit

I like the more space, woo raises you up so space becomes even more scarce. How was it?

Awesome job.

Here's the results. Final cook time was 7 hours between 300 and 375. Lump made it with a little to spare probably another hour or so but if you look at the first pics I was out of lump so the lump I used I took out of my large so with all fresh lump it may go longer. Results were great...
