Getting a Mini, need advice

Unknown

Hi everyone, I'm buying a Mini BGE after owning a large for 3+ years now. I've read bits and pieces in this forum through the years about differences in using the Mini, but would appreciate your responses here so I can have everything together. My question is, how do you operate and cook differently using the Mini BGE from the Large? Thanks much and happy cooking to you all.

tom podolnick, ENJOY your mini - i have one & a medium and find that controlling temps is the same for both.
The mini gets hot quicker (i can make a meal from startup lighting to food removal within 30 minutes)
i have a daisy wheel for the mini, but the best control is with the bottom vent.

Chef Arnoldi,[p]I have to agree with you on the Mini. It's been a great addition to the large. I haven't gotten a daisy wheel yet but still use Lil' Egg very effectively just using the bottom vent for control. I've also gotten 800º temps from the little dickens too. I only wish they had a cast iron grate for the Mini.

tom podolnick, I also have a mini along with a large and a medium. Although my mini doesn't seem to come to temp as quickly as the other two (nor will it get as hot) but is a great compliment to the others. Cooking seems to be about the same on all three. Happy cooking!
