I can't hardly stand it!

Do you know how hard it is to sit in my living room next to my Xmas tree when there's a package under it that I know is a Mini Max? It's gotta be! I just know it. In two days I will become a 2 Egg owner! Can't friggin wait! The MM will compliment my XL perfectly. Now, I just gotta figure out what to cook on it 1st.

Now that would be very hard! On a side note your wife or kids or whomever gave it to you rocks! 

I hope you got them something nice.

Congradulations on the new MM. A awesome gift for sure. For your first cook may I suggest this

RickyBobby

@SGH ~ not sure that would fit on my MM

That's awesome Ricky Bobby.  I hope it is the Mini Max you desire.  XL and Mini Max is an awesome combination.  Christmas night steaks would be on the menu.

RickyBobby

You fellas are right ... I will now be able to perform a forward seer effortlessly using my 2 Eggs. Steaks it is for the inaugural cook!

I was just messing with you brother. A attempt at humor. Again congratulations on the MM.

The minimax should be a fantastic addition to the XL. The minimax  seems its more geared to grilling for smaller portions.

Maybe totally OT. When I was in my early teens I wanted a football. Figured a particular package was the winner. Carefully opened it and score! Me and few buddy's met up at a snowy field in shorts and our Turner Gill, Mike Rozier & Irving Fryar jerseys and played a game of pickup till we couldn't feel our toes. Afterward I put the ball back in the box and taped it up. It wasn't till a few years ago I told my Mother I did this (felt bad). But, that was an awesome game! B-)
Ya ummm don't go opening the supposed MM and using it and repackaging it.

RickyBobby

I'm sure it's a MiniMax. I did all the dirty work for the wife and finally located one in the St.Louis area about 2 weeks ago. They're still hard to find around here. I told her if she was going to get me one she had to buy it from such and such dealer .... and do it quickly. BaHaHaHa! I was going to buy it with my fun money but figured I better wait until after Xmas. Glad I did now! She knew I was getting the MM one way or another. Lol! Dropped the subject after I located it in the area and come home tonight with it wrapped under the tree. I sure hope she likes what I got her as much as I'm happy with her present.

"why do the presents smell like smoke and meat?"

ummmm :-??

UPDATE: I accidentally grabbed the box when wife was in the other room and it feels very heavy ... yup, I got me a MM. Geez! I don't know who's worse. Me or my 7yr old son. I need to just stay out of our living room the next two days.

That would be just cruel ... doubt she'd have it in her to do that to me

RickyBobby

..... going to stop @ local butcher shop today on my way home from work and buy some nice steaks. I want to be ready for this new MiniMax!

She would if it was really this type of gift and she had the MM hidden elsewhere in the house like the movie Christmas Story...

Yes, yes I do... There is a large box in my living room that has the same dimensions as the box for a Large BGE...

@RickyBobby‌ @KamadoDragon‌
Here they are unwrapped. )

>:) The devil says peek. Lol
Totally kidding. It's worth the wait.

Present measures 20x20x19 (LxWxH) Lol! Too dang funny! Should I put it on a scale?

Hate they came out with the MM after I bought my Mini.  That always happens to me though.  Have fun with the MM.

Don't worry, I know your pain. I bought my current Dodge Ram truck brand new in 2002. Then for 2003 they introduced them with the Hemi motors. I am still pissed about that one! Oh well ... It's been a good truck. Still going strong!

@vettman‌ don't be mad about that I have both and would sell the MM before the mini. The MM really missed the whole light weight and portable boat. The things like 70 plus pounds and not easy to move around.

I did the same, but didn't bother me. The 360 is a proven workhorse and I personally belive it sounds better. Buddy has a 03 with the HemI with the same exhaus . We both belive mine sounds better. However, he does get better gas milage and more power.
