I am thinking not all that old as it has two hinges and the older ones had one hinge. I would guess 3 or 4 years????????????????????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.

Is the grid 10" or 9"?

Nice 20 qt Yeti in background. I have a 50qt and after awhile realized was too big for afternoon trips to pool and other short outing so I also bought a 20qt Both mine are brown though. My buddy recently bought a 35qt and it is much easier to carrier bc it has the side rope handles but space wise the 25qt is perfect; occasionally it carriers more beer than I need for just a few hours.Boom

I've had my mini for about 7 years and it looks exactly like that one. The gasket on that one is in a whole lot better shape than mine......no doubt it's been replaced.

The black draft door on the bottom ages it more than the hinges. It was one of the early minis. The first had seams then that one. 8yrs maybe 10

Mine is about 7 years old and came with only one hinge. So that one is definitely younger than mine, probably by a lot.

Well he text me back someone is supposed to pick it up in the morning or he'd call me back. But apparently it's older and he wants 300._______________________________________________XLBGE

I think it's $65 to upgrade to new handle and hinge. About $30 to upgrade to 10" SS grate. No need to upgrade ceramics.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.

Another thing to look at is the handle. That one looks like it swings/is not fixed in place, but I have no idea how to date those. Maybe you could carbon date it? LOL.

I put it in my Small when that came out (much needed (imo) . Worked well. Only sold it as I was not using, worked fine.
It (IMO) a must for the Mini and have in both Larges.

I did one cook with the small OEM grate and ordered the HighQue. It won't run as hot as the large but I can hit 650-700 if I have everything cleaned out. It takes no time for it to lock in at 400, I am happy as all get out with my small.-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini.
