Largest packer on a MiniMax

What is the largest packer you have done on a MiniMax?
I want to do one on my MM but I'm not sure what size to get. I figure if I drape it over a rib rack to raise the middle then I can get a larger size brisket to fit. So I would like to hear what you have done for packers on the MM.

Can you fit a rib rack on an MM? Is that the largest egg you have?

I want to master the MinMax and I can't do that if I keep falling back to the LBGE. Also, its mostly just me and SWMBO and I could use the extra room on my porch.
Got a good sale price for the LBGE so the timing is right. I really want to see what the MM can do and inspire others that have space constraints. The MM has so much going for it that it overcomes the smaller size.

I have several previous posts addressing the issue of the large proteins in an MM. I’ll see if I can find them. I also have one identifying a rib rack that fits perfectly into the MM.

I would love a link for the rib rack since I picked up 3 slabs today at Restaurant Depot. Looked at packers and head off flats today too but the price scared SWMBO off of them. Maybe next time.
Headed off to read your other link on the 12lb flatMarshall in Beautiful Fruit Cove, FL.

Haven't tried to piece together all the above links but focusing on the rib rack deal-substitute a fire brick (or equivalent) for the rack. I use one all the time with packers initially too long for the LBGE.BTW- Universally, any meat supplier (from Costco to local shops) charge much more /lb for flat. Those cuts take more labor to produce than the packer. FWIW-BTW- I have a SBGE and will toss around an 8-10 lb butt on there. If you can get a decent packer in the 10-11 LB range you may have a chance but the shape is so much different I have never given it a thought.Good luck-Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Thanks @lousubcap
I'm leaning towards getting a whole packer and separating the point and flat myself like in the earlier video. I like the point but the rest of the family prefers the flat.
I've done a 8.5lb butt on the MM before so I'm not worried about that. Just need to figure out ribs and the brisket options.Marshall in Beautiful Fruit Cove, FL.
