    This started out a Captain (below note from him) in Afghanistan send a note on the org forum ( before this forum ) wanting to see if any way to get Mini sent (he was happy to pay but just could not see a way). I saw that and called a friend at an Egg Distributer and told him. He had no way but would give me one if I could get it over. I have a good friend that just got back and was very connected at Army. He said when a top a General needed something they just shipped it commercial ( I was wanting an army lift). So I went to the forum and told them I needed about $180 for freight ( had it in 2 hours). Rest is history. That Mini was used for about 22 MPs. http://www.greeneggers.com/index.php?option=com_simpleboard&Itemid=55&func=view&catid=1&id=1103974 Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos

    I use my mini more often then I do my small. I would sell my mini before I would sell my small. Mini is just too small if cooking for more than two.
    Bout sums up my feelings.
