    I hear from Dealers,  later in the Summer.

    My guess...this Fall.

    What @Chubby said is what I am getting. Now I put in for the first one in Salado to come to me. The more I think about it I am not so sure now. I have all the Toys for my Mini and it works perfect for us. Not sure I want to start building up the new one with Toys that are not even online now..
    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.

    Yeah, I am trying to decide what to do. I have a brand new (unused) mini w/ woo that I bought for tailgating this fall. Now I gotta decide whether to go with it, or sell and buy the minimax, if it comes out in time...

    Will you be able to return it to the dealer?  If you are just going to sell it on craigslist or something then in my opinion it doesn't really matter if it is brand new or "lightly used".  The price should be about the same.  If you think you want the MM I would ask your dealer if you can trade it in.  If you are going to sell yourself then just go ahead and enjoy the min for a while and decide if you want to sell when the MM comes out.  Just my $.02 ;)

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    Do you really have as many eggs as your tagline says? I think it's time for an intervention...

    @badinfluence‌
    If I may ask sir. Which Peoria cooker do you use. I have been eyeing The Meat Monster for small charity events. My Jambo had got to be about more than I can handle now. Have been considering selling it and getting the Meat Monster as it is much smaller and easier to move around. You input is much appreciated.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    @SGH I have the MMIF I chose it over a jamboree as I like the multi rack setup and the fact the whole cooker is insulated. Well and they are 2 hours away and not 20. It took about 6 weeks to finish after placing a order so not to bad. Alot of options you can pick as well to fit your needs. Hope this helps.

    I really was hoping for a minimax to be available by the end of August so I can tailgate with it.

     

    Oh well, we'll just have to continue waiting....

    Funny but I have lived in Peoria for 48 years and had never heard about that cooker until a couple years ago and some egger out in Washington state was going bonkers over a used Peoria cooker he had bought and was whippin butt on the BBQ circuit. Even after I did some researching I still have never heard of the local dentist behind the company!
