Not much but broke her in over the weekend
while out of town, portability is doable but painful if you don't have a table..
1st ever on the MM was chicken thighs, cooked just as I expected, the crowd liked
Also cooked sausage and cheddar worst but no pics so it didn't happen
Final for the weekend was a 7lb butt, cooked for roughly 8 hours, pulled at 196 because
the crowd was hungry, but shredded easy, not too bad for the little guy

Also no issue with running out of charcoal for the low and slow, I have yet to open her up and see what is left as I was driving home all day today, but can update if anyone is interested, I ran it at roughly 250, it did spike at times but towards the end I was ok with that as it never really went above 310 and peoples were hungry.
I loaded it to the point that the improvised plate setter was resting on the lump, which may have hurt as I noticed a small crack in my newly made plate setter as I was setting the meat on the grill, it survived the cook but may not be around much longer, need to check it out and see the extent of
the damage -

I acquired a MM just prior to the holidays. Have about 4-5 cooks under my belt. It is noticeably different from my medium, and has a small learning curve. Gonna like it I am certain.Ellijay GA with a Medium & MiniMax

I like how you just brought the whole grid inside instead of taking the meat off the grill. lol. I guess that can be a benefit to the MM I never thought of.

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback. After 3 cooks I'm sold that I'm going to enjoy her for a long time. -

For those who are interested. Below is the lump remaining after the butt, more than I expected but it's hard to tell in the pic.
Also is a pic of the improvised plate setter, used a angle grinder with a tile blade, took about 20 mins but wasn't hard to do. The crack doesn't look too bad at the moment, not sure if I can do anything to keep it from growing

Glad you are breaking in the MM.....I am looking forward to my call from a friend/dealer to go pick mine up when he gets em in!!! Will be an added bonus to the camper/boat/hunting camp!!!!Hunting-Fishing-Cookin' on my EGG! Nothing else compares!
