692.00 with PS but still waiting said b4 Thanksgiving I think that is only a week from today.XL & waiting for my Mini Max Bloomington MN.

Ouch. Mine says 500-550, $40 for platesetter. But it's still a unicorn here. :-wSlumming it in Aiken, SC.

that's not far apart..... the dealer here said they only had two.

Local place in NOVA has two in stock, price around 590ish..

I paid 505 for egg and 39.95 for plate setter
-
$649 NEPA. I talked myself into $598. With plate setter and tax we are almost $300 more than KJ JR. $250 seems like a lot better number to stomach.

Depends on what sizes you already have.In my case no but if u have a large are xl and want a smaller size I'd say yes.loveTheEgg said:is it really worth getting?

I wonder if your dealer does not order enough for free shipping. My dealer has the same distributor so we talk about it from time to time.
-
not sure....this dealer here is not the friendliest of them all! so if I do get it I will drive to another town/State to buy it.
@tcampbell I have the large and I think I would like it for quick cooks and when I have a L&S on the large.
Brandon, MS -
I agree if u want one smaller than the mediu . It's ideal

My dealer said $598 for the egg and $49 for the plate setter. If I was to get it I don't know if I would get The plate setter. The small its about $50 to $60 cheeper without the nest. So part of the MM's price is the carrier would be my guess. I can't justify it this time off year. I have an XL and would like to have a smaller egg for quicker cooks with less lump used.XL, WSM, Coleman Road Trip Gas GrillKansas City, Mo.

twice the price of the KJ Jr....wow....i may not get one then..Beaufort, SC

My first reaction is its pricy too but when I add my mini and nest that's about $450. The MM and handler seem worth the extra $150.Seattle, WA

$649 and $69 in California, picked it up this week. I guess it's the price you pay for portability and for being in California. It's a great size, plenty of lump capacity and weighs far more than I thought it would.

Just confirmed mine. Picking it up at 4pm today! Can't wait to fire it up this weekend.Steve

Just got it home. Couple of first impressions. It's larger than I expected, thus leading to my next observation, it's heavier than I expected as well. Looks great, plenty of space, and can't wait to be bbq'ing at the beach and wherever else I travel!

Yeah its not light. Its light enough to pick up and move to the car and get it out and put it on a table close bye but I wouldn't want to go a couple hundred feet by myself after drinks. I just bought a tool cart from Costco on casters that I am hoping will hold the MM and mini. Said it would hold 350 pounds so should be good.

consider buying a PotLifter. I can carry my small by myself like a duffle bag. Your idea of a cart on casters would work, but I think a PotLifter is better for rough terrain and the guts of your MM wouldn't bounce around.Re-gasketing the USA one yard at a time! -
I think @Lit's intention is to use the cart to hold both MM and mini at home, not to cart the MM aroundA dealer here is selling for CAD$699 (+ free platesetter), very decent price for GWN.canuckland

I believe the MM is 75 pounds its not light. I bought a collapsible wagon before the summer from Costco to get the KJ or mini and a cooler to the pool. The pot lifter also seems like a good option for sober days but I've almost tipped the wagon on the way home there's no way the egg would have made it if I had to carry it.
