    Note to owner of cool looking metal band stand for the Mini. I would not use that. Have seen several cut in half by that kind if stand. Now if the metal around the Mini is not binding: never mind. 
    If you are referring to my pics @Mickey, that is a concern to me, but that is what it came with.  I hope to be building my outdoor kitchen this summer and maybe getting rid of that, but if it brakes its a reason to sell the wife on a MM or Small.  =)
    Just FYI, this can happen...

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Okay, I'm back with some prices like I promised. I live in Sumter SC,

    Mini-$349.00
    MM-$549.00
    Small-449.00
    Tax not included.

    Forgive me, I was way off on my earlier calculations. Now I don't know
    What I want to get to compliment my large.
    When it comes to portability, I could save $200.00 and get the mini.
    Or the choped down version of the small.

    Those prices, I'd probably go with the small.

    @RRP, has an Egg carrier I believe to move his small around if you want it to be portable.  I like the Small, because you can put more lump in it and do smaller L&S's if you want.  That's the one I was wanting to go with my XL or the Mini.  I don't have the need to really travel with an egg right now.  @sirlancealot, have fun deciding, they are all good choices.

    @sirlancealot , hey brother. Thanks for the update on prices. I think the Mini could be had for as low as $275 if your patient and check CL. Good luck on your decision. Tim
