Mini egg and chicken

Clay Q · May 2007

<p />I have found that the mini cooks a lot like the large. Start up and cooking time are just about the same. Side by side I have started both in the past and it amazes me how the mini and large is dialed in and comes up to temp together at the same time. Yesterday I fired up my mini and left my large to sit. [p]First was 4 sirloin 1/4 pound burgers cooked two at a time. Yeah, just like the large they came off juicy and flavorful, so says my 19 year old boy.

Then a treat just for for me, a Chicago style hot dog from Klemments. I eat'em at Miller Park when I go to a ball game in Milwaukee. Go Brewers!

[p]Next was a plump game hen and oh yeah, Shaken the Tree seasoning on this baby.

Just like the large only small scale, 350 dome for 1.5 hours. Enough chicken for two and a really good time cooking on the mini.

ClayQ,
Great post! The mini has much potential. I can't wait for more time to eggsperiment on mine.
You're making my lunch tuna sandwich sound not so good.

hayhonker,
Now I gotta build a table for the mini..... There was some posting awhile back about cooking a whole chicken on the mini so that got my attention and here is the results, he he.
Thanks and have a great weekend!

ClayQ,
could you please clarify for me. are those game hens or chickens? if cheicken, is it a roaster or something smaller? do you know the weight?

<p />saucy sue,
Made my own indirect setup. Plate setter, grid ring and grid. Drip pan sits on the plate setter. Same setup in my large. Saaaweeet.

Game hen, 26 oz., juicy, tender, delicious, nice crisp to the skin in places. I like those little fat ones.

ClayQ,
thanks. ilove doing spatchcock ckicken on my large. currently considering a mini or a small. your pics do a lot to help with getting a feeling for the size of the mini. [p]of course, any thoughts you want to share about your mini are appreciated.

hayhonker, Man!! I missed that one too. Guess I have to have one. Probably go through the Mother Ship, because the dealiers in Cinci don't know much. Last year they told me the small egg was discontinued!!

Saucy Sue, no, there isn't one. Clay post once before that he cut the platesetter himself from a pizza stone using a grinder. Made quite a mess, but look at the result.

RJH,
OH.
He wasn't kidding about 'made my own'. very cool

Clay Q · May 2007

hayhonker,[p]Well..... I might be the only 'lucky dog' with a mini plate setter made from a pizza stone. Where there's a will there's a way.

Saucy Sue · May 2007

hayhonker, Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh well, I could never do that, but it is really cool!!

ClayQ,[p]You rat!! After seeing some of your earlier posts, I he-hawed around all last summer about buying a mini or not. I didn't. I had all but forgot about it until now. Summer is again upon us and you planted the seed for the second time.....Agggrrrr.[p]~thirdeye~
