Mickey, You seem to be quite pissed of with me for mouthing off about the MM. I think your anger is mis-directed my friend. you should be pissed off at BGE for foisting off sub-standard product at premium prices. I never once said that the thing didn't work. BGE decided to bring a new product to market by taking an existing product and redesigning it to be more portable. Nothing wrong with that. Companies do product redesigns all the time. Then BGE redesigned the fire box to accommodate the shorter egg.Not a problem. What happens next is where the problems begin. Rather than redesign the fire ring to match the new fire box, BGE chose to re-purpose an existing ring that doesn't quite fit. Then they add a grid that also doesn't quite fit.Does it cook? Absolutely! Does it do an excellent job? Most likely. Are all of the individual parts of this package at least the same high quality as all of their other products? You bet! Is it as aesthetically pleasing as all of the other products in their line-up? No way! I don't know why BGE brought this MM to market like this. Were they trying to save a few bucks on development or did they run out of time to meet a deadline to get it to market? As a stand alone product, the MM appears to be built with sloppy workmanship. That fact that it works is irrelevant. It has to be of the same quality in workmanship as all of the products in their line-up.
Mickey, you have put a lot of effort into your cooks. You have also put a lot of effort into the presentation of those cooks on this forum. You have 2300 likes here and most of them will most likely be for your cooks. What would happen if you didn't give a **** and just dumped your cooks onto a plate that slopped over onto the table with splatters everywhere. Do you think you would enjoy as many Kudos for such sloppy work as you receive today for fine work. My guess would be...... No.
Look, all I'm saying is that no one should have to be forced to accept sloppy workmanship from any product they spend their hard earned money on whether it's a BGE or a chocolate bar. You can be pissed of with me all you want Mickey but it does not change the fact that this is a sloppily put together product.
Oh yea, to answer your question, I have seen a MM and have not cooked on one.

Ok @caliking here we go on a Saturday night! Don't piss off herr Mickey!

So they use the small ring to fit the mini max. Who cares. Go cry in your sparkling water @FlashkaBob. Consumers can make their own choices

For the record. The Mini-Max cooks as well as any Egg (have not cooked on an XXL). The food it produces is as good as any Egg. I see no problems in this Egg. Now @Lit is not happy with the guts of the MM. I will give 100% attention and read 10,000 words from him on the subject. HE OWNS ONE & COOKS ON ONE. But for someone like @FlashkaBob to write as many works on this subject and NOT OWN NOR HAVE EVEN COOKED. Yep, pissed offSalado 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.

Tis a shame about Fiskabob being a ranting loon and such about things he can't control.He either ran out of 'Depends' or is jealous of your recent mani-cure.
Look out Mickey, he's going to be in Salado and is gunning for you.Hood Stars, Wrist Crowns and Obsession Dobs! -

With morning light I admit @Jeremiah is correct. It's just a damn good grill....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.

Notice the time stamp??
This thread just got sunk. So now that we have BGE's attention: The platesetter legs are too damn short, the fire ring doesn't fit, and neither does the grid. It's a pi$$ poor finish for an otherwise great little cooker.

Further more, the rubber feet are absolutely cheesy, and finally the whole thing sits on the bolt heads in the carrier. Seems like that could cause cracks in the future. Ok I'm done.Slumming it in Aiken, SC.
