I saw the pic posted, now I want one!! We've only had our LBGE for 2 1/2 months, but I think the mini would be great. Here's my question, is it easier to clean and work? I have a 40 gallon aquarium and bought a nano (tiny) for salt water, but it was too hard to maintain, thus smaller isn't always easier. What are your comments? TY

Smaller is easier in this case. I would not take for my pair of Minis.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). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

Ah, my wife the movie star ! We've only done 4 cooks on our mini, so I'm no expert. I did find that my ash tool for the Large wouldn't fit in the lower vent on the Mini. But, no problem. It uses such a small amount of lump, I just took that out and pushed the ash out from the top through the vent. Wasn't hard to clean at all. Maybe there's an easier way, but I don't know it yet.As far as easier to work, I'm realizing a bit of a learning curve. The food is closer to the charcoal, so it tends to cook faster than on my Large. Just a bit to get used to.We are very glad we got the mini. I think, with just us two, that we will save a lot of money, just on using less charcoal. And, as you saw in the picture, it will easily cook enough for two people.__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious

Gary I just cut down two of LawnRangers tools (didn't need due to HighQue) and picked up a larger bracket for the Large and smaller bracket for the Mini. Works well

So...... The title of this has me thinking. Would Village Idiot's wife be called mrs idiot? I doubt Pam would approve. Perhaps she needs her own handle.Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here.

Idiot, I live in TN, can she make me one for a mini??

Actually, Travis. She's pissed that I use that handle. I KNOW she wouldn't want that name for her, especially since she's a Ph.D. in Nursing..__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious -

My vote is "Village Mayor"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). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers. -
If you all are smart, you'll vote for "Yes Ma'am". That's what I call her. )__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious

+1. Niiiice call Mickey!!Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

I used to be a welder (many years ago!!), however, this would be easy.. Just get a butane torch, the long rod (bent as in the first original post), an angle bracket and a wire coat-hanger. heat the angle and rod and use the wire hanger as "solder", I have brazed holes in tail pipes using this method **mannnny years ago**...

Easy for you to say!

Knoxville? I was born in Knoxville! As far as gettin ash out - I just my Dyson Vac. Works great.
