So, I landed a mini!

I went to my egg dealer today for a $20 grid and they had a used Mini sitting on display. He looked lonely and neglected in the corner all by himself... So naturally, I had to adopt it as I hate to see any egg that neglected (aren't I a compassionate soul?). I did it for the children!
Now... how to break it to SWMBO?.?.?.?

You will like it. But, how much was it?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.

I would just lie and say that it came HEAVILY discounted because it was used and they needed to clean out inventory. Its just easier that way.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

I thought it was a pretty good deal. It is the new style with the solid handle and included a nest for $200.
A little background... Last year for Christmas, we bought our 6 year old daughter a Small Egg.
So this year for Christmas, I just bought our newborn twin boys a Mini Egg....

Just tell her the mini travels well and now you can Egg on vacations, etc.

sounds like a good deal, if its the nest that wraps around the mini dont use it though, if someone doesnt post a pic of how it causes the mini to crack do a post asking about the mini stand, im not sure if they fixed that stand or if you have the problem one

200 is a steal. I'd have snagged it at that price no doubt.-Jody Newell (LBGE & a 36" Blackstone griddle).

That is a great deal- especially from a dealer.Sounds to me like you have your SWMBO pitch ready...you did it for the children!!!Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

I'm jealous. Been checkin craiglist for that kinda deal but no luck yet. Hope your fam enjoys it bud.

Where do you buy the often shown carton? I am thinking about a mini. The Spouse opined the other day that she might go for a small and mini so we have them all. No input for an XXL.

Doc_Eggerton I inquired about that myself several weeks ago... I was told that the man who made the EggCartens quit making them. Shame... cause it looks like a solid product.

That was a great deal! They heat faster and use less lump.My goto for smaller fast cooks like steaks, burgers and dogs. Also good for sides and apps when the medium is full.Hood Stars, Wrist Crowns and Obsession Dobs!

@jtippers That is the new style nest, not the old one that wraps around, you are all set.They/Them

If you are worried about how the wife will react I will give you the $205 for it :P.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

What is the usual price??? I'm feeling the urge to add a mini for my Christmas Eve present. My Christmas present will be here tomorrow-Anova sous vide! Next-New Years presents!LBGE 4/2012, MBGE 6/2012 & Mini 11/2013Rome, GA

Nice score, just sear her a steak and I bet no comments will be made. That's what I did and now I have two mini's.

I did it for the children!!! Great excuse. How could she argue with that?

Next-New Years presents!The system works brilliantly. No money wasted on useless gifts like ties and carp like that. What I'm saying is that you need to surprise her by giving her a mini for Diwali.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

That is a great system... I love it!SBGE December 2012 • XLBGE December 2013 • Yoder YS640 JulyLocation: Jasper, Georgia

WOW, you stole it for that price! Nice find!!! You will love it!
-
@caliking-I LOVE THAT!!! I'll claim politically correctness and get him the mini for Halloween!!!! We'll then carry it on to all of the holidays you mentioned. I'll need to do some research and find more holidays tho, as hubby has many (mini) needs....lolLBGE 4/2012, MBGE 6/2012 & Mini 11/2013Rome, GA

so the nest that wraps all the way around will they replace it with the new version or you have to buy it ?, are they all bad ?
-
They are not for the mini they are for the chiminea. You have to buy the new nest or get a carten. The carten is awesome.
-
you can wrap heat tape around the nest to provide some expansion room around the solid ring
