Mini Carrier

I’m the owner of an unused mini and I’m looking for the carrier for it. 

Does anyone have one laying around?

    The square igloo works great and has wheels. 
    Salado TX & 30A  FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Just given a Mini to add to the herd.

    But what do you set the mini on while cooking?

    I did this for several vacations before I bought the carrier. Worked great. I had the original tripod stand that came with the mini. I would take one leg off the tripod and it would fit in the cooler too. Re assemble at Vaca spot and cook the rest of the week.

    So from your experiences. Which did you prefer...  Cooler, carrier, or tripod?

    Mine stays in the carrier all the time. It was well worth the $69 or whatever I paid for it.

    These work great but i don’t think you can buy them anymore.

    I can answer from my point of view.  I have three minis, one with the old tripod, and two with the new style carrier.  The new carrier from BGE is the best in my opinion.  I don't have an egg carten, but they look bulkier than the BGE version that contours the egg and provides better access to the egg itself due to this.  I know you keep asking every few months, just get the BGE version already, you wont regret it ...

    I have the newer carrier and love it. It even works well sitting in a camp grill. Here it is in action:
