MiniMax

I have been thinking about getting a Minimax to go along with my large. Being able to cook at different temps and not having I fire up a large for a few steaks is appealing. I was looking at my local hardware store, and saw that they run $598 is this pretty standard for the Minimax?

Thanks for your help.

Yes, $598 is the MSRP.

Par for the course. And you are right- it's awesome for high temp, quicker cooks like steaks, chicken and fish.

Free if you come to the Salado EggFest March 14th and hold one of the two free winning tickets. Otherwise price is about right. They are super handy.

Just picked mine up yesterday to go with LBGE. Awesome two nights two cooks. Had both of the eggs going tonight. $525 with platesetter. amazing how little charcoal it uses.

I got a MM a month ago to complement our large. I'm getting used to cooking on it but it is handy! I cook on it first if I don't have too much. Doing two things at once (or three with the space in the large) is awesome.

I'm not as good at getting my target temps yet. Need to use it more. I think it is a different dynamic because of the smaller dome. and you are close to the lump. First few cooks I ran out of lump. I also use it just in the ground with the legs it comes with... So I'm so wondering if airflow through thr bottom vent is tricker.

I paid 635 or so and got an ash tool, lump and starters and a thing of BGE rub.

I've only found one downside. Accessories for two eggs! For example... Do you get a pizza stone for the MM when you already have one for the large!?

I might have an eye problem that day. I can't see myself making it to work.

I recommend spending about $80 more dollars and get both a Woo and a High-Que. I start faster and hold temp better with the High-Que and cook so much better with the Woo. Oh, and lose the Daisy Wheel ( full air control with the botton vent).
