    Nice addition......would be my choice since I don't travel with the egg and it has a larger lump capacity.....and a little more distance from the lump to the grid.....some day I'll pull the trigger.

    I acquired a SBGE a couple of years ago-great cooking machine.  I tricked it out with a High-Que grate and woo and stone from the CGS.  Associated links here: http://www.high-que.com and

    Definitely worth it.  And a great place for the direct CI pan to sear off a steak.  FWIW-

    I am wanting another smaller egg and I am really struggling with the choice between the mini max and the small.   I am not really sure I would use the "portability" of the mini-max.   That said, I like the stand and the table top aspect of the mini max.  Also, I do a ton of short cooks, burgers, chicken, pork chops, steaks, etc.

    I chose small due to more capacity of lump...Been debating for a few months and took the leap.

    I cannot compare the MM and SBGE but I would offer that if the alleged portability is not an issue then the increased lump capacity is a big plus for the SBGE.  That said, I have not run more than around 9 hours at L&S temps (250-280*F) on the dome but still had lump left to burn.  FWIW-

    Nice addition. I'm a fan of the Small, I know some have Small eggs that won't get hot, but mine is not one of those.

    I have always said the large and small is the best combo! My small is my workhorse getting at least 60% of all my cooks! You won't be sorry!

    I debated on small vs mm. It came down to what I could fit better in my vehicle for travel. A small is still a box that will eventually get checked. My first BGE meal, ever, came off a small, and it was so good, and better than anything I had ever done before, As soon as I got home from California, I got off the plane, went to my vehicle and drove to a BGE Dealer and bought an XL. Sorry I had not done so sooner.

    Congrats.  I added a small back in February.  Love it.  I use my small 2-1 now compared to my large.  I have yet to do a l&s on it though.  The only down side I've seen to it so far is that it's a pain in the a$$ to clean.  I bought a kickash basket that is arriving for it today though, so hopefully that will help.

    KAB will make that task easy!!! Wish I would have bought one for my small way back when they first were offered. Lift, shake, return!

    You're gonna love that little dude. The small is my most used egg. Get yourself a Kick Ash Basket and a woo and stone and you're set.

    I went with the small to compliment my large as well. Glad I did and portability is not an issue, just take the guts out and carry them out of the egg, when you do that I can pick up my small and pack it in the car solo.
