Where do you put your Mini Max?

EGGerAllanPoe · December 2017

So I’ve searched the forum and can’t find setups for the Mini Max. Where does everyone put there Mini Max at home? Just sit on your existing table? Got a new table? I have a LBGE with its table and not sure where I want to put the max.

I put it wherever it's needed....in the sand at the beach, on a stump in the mountains, on a table at a friend's, somewhere on this forum. There's a pict of mine at a house in Mexico on the beach in the outdoor kitchen where the old Parilla was removed

At home it sits in the corner and I set it stop a SS table when it gets fired up

I have a stainless meat cutting table that holds my large. MiniMax sits beside it on the top.

I run Kamado Joes ... but my Jr just runs topside on a stone ... perfect height there

Mine lives on a metal waist height table that I re-purposed. Plate setter, pizza stone and coal bin are underneath. Or the tail gate of my truck.

No shame there. Nice set up

mine is sitting on a medium nest.

@chrisdiaz73 - If you haven’t seen pics or heard horror stories of fires from kamados sitting on pavers on wood tables you should look into it. For BGEs an air gap using a table nest or paver with ceramic feet is the recommended set up.

Good question. I have this table en route for my new MiniMax. Not sure yet how it will work.

I have mine on a table adjacent to the large and XL which are in nests. It shares the table w a mini in a BGE carrier. I'll post a pic later today.

Have that table for my MM and it has worked out well. I did cut the legs down a few inches as the stock height had the grate a bit high for my liking.

If nothing more, at least put a couple ceramic floor tiles under those things to get an air gap. You're going to light those tables on fire. Those stones underneath are nothing more than heat syncs. You're paying to heat them and conduct heat to the table and air. They're not protecting anything.

If you just keep it in the carrier, that should be enough air to eliminate any concern, right?

Yes, then still set it on a stone, or big floor tile. Something to reflect the heat away. If you get a bunch of dust, grease, etc down on the wood with no wind, that 1.5 inch air gap may still not be enough to drop the temp before you hit the kindling temp. Poof, spontanueous combustion. It's real. Better safe than sorry.

Built a table, see here: http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1191494/new-minimax-table#latest.

Stone only. No air gap. Bad idea.

Until the stainless steel table arrives, this will work for the maiden voyage. 3°F outside, Egg on.

In its nest sat on a piece of apple tree trunk.

So far:
North Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, Colorado, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, DC, Illinois, Missouri, some others places I am not remembering, and at home, out back, in Kentucky.

Could've added South Carolina to that list but you failed to show at Wing Ding...
