    Been really wanting a mini max and I happen to be driving through Indy this week. My wife would kill me, just bought a 2nd large last week.

    Wonder why they don't have the medium?

    That's exactly what I was thinking as my next BGE will be a medium.

    Although I recently have started wondering if my next smoker should be a low cost offset smoker?  Maybe something with enough room for 8 to 10 racks of ribs that doesn't break the bank. 

    Any suggestions as to what I should look at?
    Can you place charcoal in the main meat area of an offset if you want to do some grilling?

    You can, but it's not ideal. It will speed the corrosion rate of cook chamber wall. And if your rig is painted, where the coal is sitting the paint will peel on the outside of the wall. However there is a solution and a easy remedy for this. Use a coal pan in the bottom of your cook chamber. Or at a minimum line the bottom of your rig with a piece of sheet metal. Here is just such a pan in the vertical section of Unit #6. I use this when I want to grill of cook direct fired. The pan is a real chamber saver my friend.

    I happen to be in Indianapolis for the next 2 nights- think a MM qualifies as a carry-on?

    Those prices are tempting for sure!  I bet no Mediums because they get full MSRP no problem on those.

    Love my medium, can't recommend it enough.

    Wow, that's cheap.  I thought dealer cost was a big secret.  Good to know.

    And now the Moderator pulls down the thread.  I'd buy a MM for 360 too!

    Not to sound picky but it's actually Sullivan's Do It Best Hardware store at 71st and Keystone Saturday. Starts @ 10am and goes to 4pm I believe.

    You saw a mini or mini max w/ plate setter for $270?  If it is the latter and you passed, that is silly IMO.
    Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

    $90 below "alleged" cost and less than half of retail and you didn't bring it home...you're not too bright.  :tongue:

    For $270 bucks I'd stick that at the in laws house just so I could have some decent meat in Sundays.

    At $270 I figured it wouldn't be as good as the regular price of $579.
