Suggestion for a CI pan for minimax

THEdexaTRON · April 2016

I'm looking to sear some steaks and need a good cast iron pan for a minimax. What is a good size and brand?

DaveRichardson · April 2016

What are you looking to do with it? Its more than likely going to have to be modified with the handle shaved off or you'll have to find one with the mini-tabs for handles.

10" will fit the minimax easily, the lid doubles as a skillet

I use this one in my MM a lot (very versatile). Note: works at direct grid level, raised direct and raised indirect using a WOO or standard PS set-up.

Price shop. Amazon is reasonable but, not necessarily the least expensive.

It's actually 13" across the handles. I don't think that will work. I like it though!

Truthfully, I wouldn't worry about which cast iron will fit on a MM.. I have used my lodge cast iron skillet about 50 times more on the rangetop.

12.6" according to the link. i will try it tonight on my kj jr and report back (assuming i remember)

for the record i was referring to the lid alone, i dont think the whole dutch oven would fit in the lid of the minimax

HeavyG · April 2016

I use this on my KJ Jr. It fits perfectly as is but I know you would have to grind off the wings/handles for it to fit on the MiniMax (even then it might be just a slosh to big tho) - http://www.amazon.com/Victoria-Reversible-Griddle-Removable-Cool-Touch/dp/B00I2YKQCI?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

If all you want to do is sear, then you don't need to close the lid, then you don't need to worry if the handle sticks out the side.

Bring your steak to 120f on the grill at a <300º dome. Remove and cover with a towel.
Open the bottom vent, lift the lid, put the iron on.

When the iron is good and hot, put that steak back on to sear it. Watch your temp - 5º before halfway to target, flip it.

Any suggestions for Large BGE. I am looking to expand my cooking and the CI pan is the next thing I am adding to the team.

I just need a good all around pan. Thanks

HondaHawk · April 2016

this was on a lodge 12

Maybe I'm doing it wrong for searing but those were delicious.

Thanks for the directions. This will help when I do attempt this

It does fit, just used it the other night for smash burgers on the MM, dome closed no problem. I would wait for the price to come down though, I paid around $35 for mine from Amazon.

That is my favorite Lodge piece, aside from an old #10 Lodge skillet I found for $10. The classic #12 DO with legs is up there too for the newer Lodge line.
5qt Double Dutch is perfect for the small.

Spending money again.
I loathe all of you.
I can't wait to get it.

Mickey · April 2016

Lodge I cut the handle off.

HoustonEgger · April 2016

Get a Lodge 12 skillet and cut the handles off. I have one that I use all of the time on the Small egg (same grid space on the MiniMax) - just use an angle grinder, 10 minutes and you are ready to go.
