Have the opportunity to get a small egg with nest for $300. Was trying to talk him down to 200 from his original asking price of 400. He'll go 300 but I would love it for 250....
Question is that I don't know if I need it!?!?! Sure, I want it, but I have a LBGE for just my GF and I. What to do....what to do.....
Is the small really worth it? Will I use it like I will my large? The mini seems cool and all but maybe a hit too small.

I'd get it if I had the money. They're saying maybe another 6 months on the minimax and it's likely to be $450.Slumming it in Aiken, SC.

Thats exactly what I paid for my used small. I love mine. Worth every penny.

Maybe for $250 but no more. I love my small but for the small,nest and egg mates I only paid $499 new. I would never go over 50% of new cost on used. No warranty-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini. Henderson, Ky.

We use the medium quite a bit if its just mama and I. However for the bigger cuts and volume cooks we use the XL. My guess is you will use it more than you think. Plus.. For that price you absolutely can't go wrong!XL BGE - Med BGE - Mini BGE - Traeger Pellet GrillsHillsboro OR

Able to talk the lady to $240. Needs a new green cap, replacement gasket, and thermometer from what I can tell. I'll include pics later. Any gopod resources for the green replacement cap and the new, larger sized thermometers?

Congrats. First order of of business is a 3 hour clean burn?XL BGE; Medium BGE; L BGE
-
Yes! This thing needs a clean burn like nobodys business. I asked the woman if she had ever done a clean burn...she said, "A clean What?"
I like to think I saved this thing from that family.

Eggcellent score-and perfect time for the burn before replacing the gasket!Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Nice deal on the Small...Next time you do a clean burn on your large add the fire box and ring from the small. Harder to get them real clean in the Small. The Large will burn hotter and longer.This is also a good time to use any junk lump that you might not like.Thank you,DarianGalveston Texas -
Good score at 240. While you are ordering parts go ahead and get a HighQue fire grate. You'll need it-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini. Henderson, Ky.
