I gave my Egg Carten to VI today and ordered 2 New Style Handled Nests for Minis. One for me so my Mini and Mini-Max would match on the table and one for the owner of Modica Market in Seaside, Fl. 
I picked up a Mini for Charlie several years ago and told him i would get him a Carten but that was about the  time they were not made anymore. 
Salado TX & 30A  FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

    My local dealer has the mini"s in the new thing that looks like the mini-max carrier. But almost $600.00 for the little darlings.  :o

    I got one of these. An Ace store near me recently became a BGE dealer. I had an Ace gift card from cooking at the Space City Eggfest, so I got mine for 70% less. 

    Called 3 different dealers a while back, and none of them knew what I was talking about. One tried to convince me that it didn't exist. Despite giving them the catalog/product number (116451).

    Not sure of the question but have 4 Eggs (2 Large, 1 Mini-Max, & the Mini (( my second Mini))) using the Mini-Max and Mini the most with the Mini getting the most of the work. 95% of the time just the two of us. 
    Is that the question?

    @SoCalTim I went to my so called dealer a while back for both your carrier and a CI grid for my max. He literally laughed at me when I asked for them. He said neither existed. I walked out, will not return. What a Moron.

    I got the new carrier when I got the mini 3 weeks ago. It really makes moving the mini very easy.

    the rolling cooler has worked a few times this summer already but yeah the carrier looks nice.

    Carten could not have gone to a better home.
    Mickey, check the handle bolts for tightness when you get the nest.  I think it was Bruce and Kelly had a problem with theirs coming loose.

    I saw a mini max at my local dealer in the carry nest and thought, what a great idea, could take it to the beach, picnics... Was just going to check the price when I tested it by picking it up. My chronic lower back issues screamed at me, not gonna happen here unfortunately. But I do see why they are so popular. Ahh, to be young with a healthy back again!

    The replacement handles are for my Mini-Max that stays put most of the time. 
    I did get a new style nest for the Mini which is so much easer to move.
