mini max upgrade

McStew

My mini max is to heavy so I'm upgrading my side handles to aluminium ..... j/k I did it because it just looks better.  I will send picture once I have it

 installed 

SGH

That's a cool idea. Standing by to see it.

Does your MM have an underbite.

No it just has a sloppy rush job of a Rutland when I installed it

Yes that is a custom handle from Danny's carvings

Bad pic but that is the handle

So what did you pay for the handles?
I mean the mini max holder handles.

I used scrap material hanging around the shop but I would assume it would be about 8.00

Its not original I think I got it from @Smitty‌... I belive he used wood but I figured a cork would work and they do

I remember reading the question some of us had regarding the handles. Is there a solid "thick" rod that does most of the supporting and then what we see are just beauty covers? I like the upgrades! I already have the Rutland but, I figure I'll change it once the factory gasket begins to falter. Taking it off before you cook on it probably makes it a heck of a lot easier to remove.

I have been using the MM just about every other day and I was thinking I was consuming a large amount of lump.  So I decided to go over everything and discovered the daisy wheel was not fitting properly so a slight mod was needed. 

BEFORE MOD 

 

open hole by 1/8 to take out the imperfection in the original 

Flush fitting now
