MiniMax Question

Will · October 2017

Have a chance to pick up a minimax at a good price. Have had a large for years and love it. Is the minimax too small as a second grill?

Cook on my Max more than my large during he week. Protein for 4 not an issue.

Is $500 a good price. This is a new, never used grill with warranty and all.

Use ours a LOT. It's a legit partner for the LG.

The MMX is a very versatile little cook, especially when you add a second level. You can do this with Ceramic Grill Store kit or make your own:

For our household of two adults and three huge cats, it's perfect.

I bet a large cat would fit perfect on the MM...lol

I have a large and mini max I also use the mini max more.

I'm also in the Large and MiniMax camp. Perfect combo, IMO. You will be pleased.

XL and MM here, Use the MM on the road (camping, Tailgating) and more for us 2 now that our children are away in college. I have cooked for 4, *FREQUENTLY* and the occasional 10 (Loin roasts), using the MM. It is a great addition. You can get a new one, with a warranty, in the States for not much more than that.

That's a good deal when compared to my local market.

Question for you MM owners. If the charcoal grate is upgraded to a high flow option, does it make for a good searing unit? With all the mid week Sous Vide, I'm considering a smaller searing egg.

@blasting I use mine for searing a lot. But I typically just throw the grid on by itself so it's not elevated. But you can get a good seat either way. The grate by itself dang near touches the coals when full.

Killit_and_Grillit · October 2017

And @Will it's a great little addition. I have been using mine a ton recently to conserve charcoal on short week day cooks. Pretty much stopped using my second Large and use this one a lot.

Please allow me to add another "hell yes" vote to my my brothers above. I drove 3 hours to Atlanta to buy one in August,slightly used-
well worth the trip to augment my BGE medium....also consider the place setter with it.. A Great addition.....plus it survived hurricane Irma in Florida last month ...I am blessed!
