Minimax Travel

Don't think there is one its huge. I lugged mine to a condo this week on the lake. 
Its damn heavy , we are eating good but the PIA of hauling it has me questioning if this is its last year here.

It's about 80 pounds. I have taken it on trips several times. I love it but you have to take care to secure it well so it doesn't get broke.

Traveled from Mich to Va with the MM sitting in the 'garage' of the 5th wheel. Rested  against the wall of the gas bottle compartment so it couldn't go forward. Had several layers of cardboard to protect it from damage from vibration. Did fine. Also had a sheet of thin Styro and cardboard under it.  Used two man carry for transport to cooking area. Had the use of that wagon while in Mich but not after we left. While in the wagon, kept hands on the handles for steadying.

I have taken it from Kentucky to the keys , and to the outer banks as well in the back of our jeep Cherokee anchored down with several buggy cords . Have had no problem and will be taking it again this January to key largo .

The plus side... Eating good at the lake. We've used it every day and I have a brisket going on tomorrow.

lump crab stuffed mushrooms tonight.

Just pulled them, first time I've done it with crab but should be good. Lump meat, cream cheese , green onion, lime , old bay... Topped with Parmesan 

Update
taste A+

Mine will be traveling to Cape Cod on Sunday in the back of my Pilot

no need to secure if not in a bed, it's too heavy to move while driving so not going anywhere.
tonights app....I think I had neighbors annoyed for the brisket smoke....its wrapped and resting.

Made it up from looking at a few sites. Just did cream cheese, lime juice, green onion , canned wild crab meat, Parmesan. 

They were rich so I would ratio more meat than cream cheese next time. Cooked indirect 350 for 30 minutes I think.

Lol.  I see an egg to the left of the large that is the perfect size for travel.  

I just put the wife on one side, me in the other. Much easier.

She's back.... We used it 6 of the 7 days.... I'm not sure she will be going back next year.
good luck to those who take it on the road and have fun cooking. I must say overall it made the trip better sitting on the porch drinking and cooking at day's end. 
Back is throbbing just a bit, all legs I swear and still....it's a load up a few stairs into the backyard.

I hear ya. A Weber Jumbo Joe is a great grab and go to ponder.  I choose it half the time grillin on the go.  

A table minimizes the lifting, and only requires one person.  Just pull out, light, cook, push back.  Repeat as necessary.  Sometimes I grab someone and put it on a picnic table.

All utensils, vessels, etc are kept in a water tight tote.  Grab that, cooler, bag of charcoal, chairs, block rocker, ipod, and I'm off.

Yeah I was thinking same thing just might be 2 rounds on the grill for everyone to eat. Also may be a good excuse for the carrier. That may have been the Max's last voyage... I'm 75% right now.
but for home cooks , solid as a rock.

I hear ya.  I took my small to the Smokies last weekend. It's not terrible to move but not nearly as easy as the mini. Back in May I took the mini to Gulf Shores and cooked for 9 adults. Steak first then shrimp.  Worked out great.
