I joined the Mini owner's club yesterday. After a Craigslist deal fell through I stopped at a local dealer. They had a Mini on sale and a carrier too.
I thought I had best break it in today. Allegro Hot & Spicy wings. Marinated for about 8 hours. Cooked them direct at 375.
Not a bad first cook and I already like it as an option to my Large.
A question for Mini owners - what's your go to method for lighting it? I use a weed burner on my large but I was thinking it would be overkill on this.

Splash in about 1/2 cup of rubbing alcohol, let soak for 2-3 minutes.
Drop in a lighted match. Good to go.John in the Willamette Valley of Oregon -

Nice call! I use a weed burner for my mini"The pig is an amazing animal. You feed a pig an apple and it makes bacon. Let's see Michael Phelps do that" - Jim Gaffigan

Congrats on the Mini. I use a Looflighter and can have the Mini up to 300 in about 5 minutes if I need to. I think @Mickey uses a weed burner to light his Mini. Maybe he'll comment on your question.
Any road will take you there if you don't know where you're going.

I burnt the crap out of my custom handle with my weed burner. Now I only use a Map Torch on the Mini. The weedburner is for the Larges and the Mini-Max.
