BGE Led grill light

Jwork328

has anyone used one of these wondering if it will fit on a mini max

All I see on the smokeware website is that is works with the 9" handle eggs....  Someone out there has to know.

@BigGreenCraig is buddies with the InnovationsByChance folks.....  Care to chime in, Brother Tabor?

I have the double sided bracket and the single sided bracket.

I really like the light, my only nit pick is on/off click order.

1 click = side light
1 more click = off
1 more click = main light
1 more click = off

It has a magnet, a hook that folds out, and is real sturdy.

For the minimax I would try the single sided bracket and put it on the outside of the handle, not on the middle.

I have the smokeware version on the large mounted on the outside of the handle. No reason it wouldn't work on MM. PS, lowes sells the light portion as an impulse buy at the register for like $5.

That looks a lot like the flashlight I got at Harbor Freight for $2.99. They sometimes have them for free as a premium to get you in the door.  Mine has a magnet on the back but I usually just hold it in one hand while using the other to flip or probe meat.

I run one on my Mini Max. The light is not weatherproof, but it is able to to be removed from the bracket and used elsewhere or to be stored. It's perfect for someone Egging on the go.

I know you would know, Craig!  Thanks for the pic of the light in action!

Microphone gooseneck, microphone clamp, waterproof LED flashlight = inexpensive win

That's the one I just mounted on my large Jwork- says in the instructions that mounting bracket can be cut back to use only one hole for smaller handles.

I've got the same setup as Nolaegghead, after seeing his table on here last year. It's an awesome setup. That I've incorperated in other areas with poor light. My workbench and my tool shed.

Dang @Nolaegghead, I shoulda though of using my air tools to strip my old gasket!  Bet you got that thing shiny white before replacing the gasket!  Look good.  Like the gooseneck!

As I scrolled down, I thought this was going to be a joke post of a football stadium!

Then I saw the whole picture.  That is awesome.

What is the blue kamodo in the back?

HAHAHAHA!!!! When I finally got it all assembled, my wife and I were sitting there looking at it. She said, "you are f**king nuts." HAHA!!!

The blue one in the back is a Flo Kamado. I think they are based out of Austin, TX? They are a very inexpensive cooker, similar to a Vision. 

@cazzy  Thanks!

I had the smokeware light works great. I then found the same exact light without the bracket at a dollar store like the other poster said for under $5.

@Tinyfish ... I think Chance has it priced at $5 for the light and $25 for the bracket.  And nope, you can't buy them separately ... I know 'cuz I tried.  But once you have the unit, then you can replace a bad light for only $5 from several suppliers.

It's nice idea, but needs some work.  The side flashlight is a pain ... it takes a number of clicks to get to the correct lighting function ... frustrating.  I have the single arm bracket ... it works okay and is out of the way when using the handle.  But, it holds some water in the folds when it's raining ... yep, the water runs off when you open the dome ... not good. 

If Chance would redesign the bracket around a light that is on/off that would help.  Then make the bracket removable via a magnetic attachment - with the light installed - that would help for the 75% of the time when a light isn't needed ... plus, it could be removed when it's raining and alleviate that problem.

Tspud, do you work for them?  That is the third or fourth post where all you say is "Big Green egg sells them".
