Do you travel with your egg?

I was wondering if anyone here travels with their egg? How do you do it? I was asked if I could bring my egg to Buffalo from Cleveland for a weekend. I told them I would look into it. I just wouldn't want to have a break of some sort. But I know people travel all the time for competitions and what not.
Just thought I'd put it out there.
Cheers!

Sure do, we take our small with us, it goes into the back seat of the pick up truck, seat belted in and the nest is in the truck box. We enjoy RVing with it.Large, small, and a mini

Our mini travels with us to our place on the Oregon Coast.
We have an Egg Carten and it works perfect!

I take it to here is I can load and unload myself. Put in the back of truck and off. If I had help I would not take apart at all. Once more I have handlers and I think they add a lot of safety.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).

Thanks. So get a handler and load in the back of a truck. Or, put in the front seat of a car.I'd just be concerned if I put in the back of truck with a handler that it would crack with bumps on the road. Maybe I'm just thinking too much into it?-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Strongsville, OhioYes. I own a blue egg!

My mini goes camping with me every time. Thinking about retireing the Coleman.

Use it as a side burner. I forgot I had my Dad's Coleman stove until a couple of days ago I spotted it in the attic. I immediately thought about putting it to use as my side burner. So many memories with it.noarmysargent said:My mini goes camping with me every time. Thinking about retireing the Coleman.

Myself and lots of others take them in trailers and pu's all the time. I take it down like in the pic when I have no help. Otherwise I slide some cardboard be twin the parts and between the lid and base and go. Now I am talking a longer trip not across town ( then its load and go). The cardboard works just fine.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. -

If I had a truck I'd have no problem putting it in the back like mickey. With just a little caution and common sense it should be safe_______________________________________________XLBGE

I travel with my large. I bought a pot lifter and I take the fire ring and fire box out to reduce the weight. I have a Yukon XL and we put the egg in the back and I wrap the egg in moving blankets. Once wrapped I use Cargo Straps to secure the egg to the tie downs and then place fire ring and fire box wrapped in blankets on the floor. It works great.
