I use mine for everything. I cook for two and it is my go to egg unless I’m stir frying then the large gets called upon.The mini reacts to vent settings differently than its big brothers but it is easily learned.Try the search - “mini -re” and do some reading. All kinds of info.-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini. Henderson, Ky.

I had one and sold it because it was "too small". I have regretted it ever since.-Jody Newell (LBGE & a 36" Blackstone griddle).

Thanks guys. How about smoking with it? Is ok for smoking a small pork shoulder or a tenderloin? Or should we keep it more to grilling
-
I keep mine for grilling. You can do smoking and I’ve seen people do it, but it’s capacity and duration are limited. Mine is just a grilling microwave.

I smoked a turkey in one a few years ago

I also recommend a second fire ring from big green egg. I use one in both of my minis to raise the grid. Only $37 from BGE:

Sorry for the confusion on the protein and the heat source. In the end game I’m just trying to wrap my head around the need for the extra ring. Do you cook indirect at that level too?-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini. Henderson, Ky.

I was contemplating it but I found it to be a little small in person for my family of 4 so i
bought a minimax and its perfect. If it’s just 2 people a mini would probably be fine for a couple burgers or chicken breast. At half retail id probably take it. Especially if you are good friends with the guy maybe he could do warranty claims for you if you ever needed itRockwall, Tx LBGE, Minimax, 22" Blackstone, Pizza Party Bollore. Cast Iron Hoarder.

Yea that’s a bummer. No links working. Thank you though! I can’t wait to get this little guy

The Mini, pound for pound, is best. While it is geared for 1 or 2 people, it can do more if in a pinch; just have to cook in batches. It is the most mobile Egg. It can do a small pork butt, 4 burgers, 6-8 sausages, 2 chops, or 2 steaks. It heats up fast and is a lump miser. Anyone looking to add to a L or XL for cooking side dishes should consider the Mini. Cooked a 2 pound Meatloaf tonight, baked potatoes, and asparagus.

@Mikee that’s awesome you recommend it for a side kick to an xl because that’s what I have
