Is the mini egg too small??

Unknown

I recently visited my local green egg retailer t price the different size eggs. I want to get one very much, but it seems that on my budget I can only afford the mini for now. It seems kinda small to cook much of anything. Does anyone out there have one.? Do you get alot of use out of it?

DGOAT,
The mini is small but is easy to carry.Here is a picture of 4 pork chops on the mini at the lake,these were 2" thick.If the mini is all you could afford right now, i would buy it and later buy a largger one.

Larry,[p]You got that grid sitting on a pie pan/drip pan or a ring to elevate the chops?[p]Fritz

Fritz,
I had a stainless steel ring made 1-1/2" x 9" x 1/8" to set a extra grid on.You won't belive the difference that 1-1/2" makes and you can cook on both grids at one time.

YB,[p]Where did you have the ring made? And I assume you bought another grid from BGE?[p]Thanks.[p]Mark

Omaha Mark,
I had the ring made at a welding shop and I did buy the extra grid from BGE.The mini is a lot of fun.
