My 1st complaint about my MiniMax
Comments
-
mine did not come with any rubber on the feet. adding something would be nice.
Seattle, WA -
If you go to a good ACE hardware store back with the nuts and bolts they have assorted rubber feet and I bet if you look hard enough and are creative I bet you'll find something. I had a similar need and ended up drilling small holes through the rubber bumpers and then using small nuts and bolts was able to come up with a solution. Good luck!Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

Same complaint, one of mine is gone.

@RRP had my idea! They have rubber feet that are on 1/4 20 threaded bolts on them to bolt onto or into tables. Drill on!

Yep agree the standard nest slip on boots are hinky. I've thought of using some HVAC/R condensing unit vibration isolator pads.LBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL

According to this chart, you need duct tape.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

Something like this is what I had in mind. Maybe with a smaller pad so it doesn't make the egg top heavy. http://m.ebay.com/itm/250718223645?_mwBanner=1Slumming it in Aiken, SC.

Here's an even better one. This one is female. I might just order these. http://m.ebay.com/itm/260735127443Slumming it in Aiken, SC.

I would take a look at McMaster Carr. Many styles and material type so it will last many years to come.

I wouldn't think so. Don't see it as any better than what's there.Eggingaround said:Would plasti dip work?

I'm thinking of getting a MM. I've been thinking that I'll build a wooden box (open top) for it. something that could get tossed in the vehicle without worry of tippage. Maybe even eyelets to strap it down.For the replacement feet, I'm sure an Ace Hardware would have something for youPhoenix
-
@blasting I was thinking the same.
-
Tippage? This thing is not tipping its short and heavy.Seattle, WA

@SkinnyV I assure you it will "roll" out of that nest if not properly secured while making evasive maneuvers.LBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL

@RickyBobby let's toss it in the bed of my Silverado and make a run to the beach. I'm just saying one dumb ass cutting you off, accident, pothole, or unforseen obstacle could literally scramble the egg that is so hard to get. I'll take precautions & secure it.LBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL

I completely understand. My back seat in my dodge truck flips up and I have a perfectly flat area to place my MiniMax with no room for it to go anywhere.My PitMaster IQ120 FREAKIN ROCKS!!!!!!! Current BGE arsenal: XL & MiniMax

Ricky that's totally understandable then in your sort of vehicular transport. Throwing it in the back of a truck bed and crossing your fingers for luck would be a disaster waiting to happen to the MM.LBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL

Lol! Although I did travel a long ways with mine this past week just tossed in the back of my work van and not strapped in, but I have been known to make dumb decisions before. That's the main reason I started this thread because the rubber feet keep it from sliding around so I really need to replace them pronto!My PitMaster IQ120 FREAKIN ROCKS!!!!!!!

Like many of you, my MM has the same problem rubberized feet come off easily with transportation. I am going to try a can of the liquid rubber handle covering. I have used this product a number of times over the years around the house. I will try and post pictures and results as I have time.

We have a really nice Ace in a local town near us that I'll be passing through today ... I plan on making the stop and will let you all know what I come up withMy PitMaster IQ120 FREAKIN ROCKS!!!!!!! Current BGE arsenal: XL & MiniMax

Just went out and looked. Damn you are correct. It sucks, sorry they suck. At a minimum they could have used something as heavy as the ones in the Nest of the Large. Not sure I want the feet added.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.
-
I agree. I think I've lost 2 or 3 of the feet already. I'd like to see an aftermarket Egg Carton for the Mini Max for two reasons: A) so that the carten can me turned upside down and be used as a table and for some extra protection during travel. Maybe one day...BTW- Does anyone else have an oval fire ring??
-
Thats what seatbelts are for. I would throw my kids in the truck bed (they are self-righting) and put the MM up front belted in.NPHuskerFL said:Ricky that's totally understandable then in your sort of vehicular transport.
