MiniMax Accessories?

CharleyR

i recently acquired a MiniMax to go with my LBGE and love it. However, I'm wondering if anyone can steer me to locating a couple items that will enhance the experience.  First, I'd like to find the appropriate cover for it, but online searches haven't turned up anything.  Next, does anyone have an idea for a good table for it?  Nothing fancy, just sturdy and one that that can weather the nasty Chicago climate.  Ideally, I'd like a portable table to travel with the MM.  Any help will be appreciated.

Are you going to leave it outside all the time?

Well, I was thinking I would so I don't have to haul it from garage to back deck every time I use it. What do you do with yours?

This is the one I have for mine.

As for a table, I bought a wire rolling cart from Costco similar to this, but all my shelves are the same like the top one.

I cut a piece of plywood for the top and have my MM there. I also have my propane tank with weed burner on it along with everything I need so I can roll it to and from my garage when needed.

Thanks!  I particularly like your choice for the cart.

Large BGE official dome cover works perfect, got it after I saw someone post theirs.

I bought this saw horse at Home Depot for like $30. Folds flat for transport.

Wow, for $30 I could use that for mobile cooks and use a cart at home.  Thanks!

Is that table rated for high temps?

I've cooked above 500 twice on it and stuck my hand under no problem. I'm thinking about putting different feet on it anyway so that will increase the gap.

I stole the idea from @Big_Green_Craig  maybe he can chime in. He's been using longer than me.

Great thread, I dropped more money, again, on the egg.  Just got the woo for my MM.  Love my AR, I knew it was just a matter of time.  I'm sure this will be a hit too.

The Large Green Egg dome cover for larges that reside in a table fits the Mini Max perfectly.  That's what I and other eggers use on their Mini Max's.

When I'm done with it I roll it into a covered lanai. If you plan on leaving it outside I'd suggest a 304 SS table or build one. Transport I use my truckbed and move it to nature's tables (rocks, public tables etc).

No problems here. I've had it running at 650° with an issue. I guess you could slide a ceramic tile under it. I like it BC it folds flat for travel.
