Best as a true grab-and-go grill for one or two people camping, tailgating, or with very limited space; skip it if you'll ever regularly cook for more than two people — go Small or Medium instead.

Pros

  • Lightest and most genuinely portable Egg in the lineup — actually manageable for one person to carry to a tailgate or campsite
  • Lowest price point of any Big Green Egg model, the cheapest way into ceramic-grill cooking
  • Same ceramic heat retention benefits (searing and low-and-slow) scaled down
  • Light enough to move or store
  • Built to last (ceramic)

Watch-outs

  • Really only practical for 1-2 people per cook
  • Very small grate rules out smoking multiple cuts or cooking for any kind of group
  • Accessories (plate setter, etc.) are extra purchases on top of an already small grill
  • Tight cooking area (79 sq in) — small batches

Known niggles

  • Reviews on the Mini's usable capacity are described by owners as mixed — some found it more limited than expected for anything beyond 1-2 servings
  • Plate setter and other accessories are sold separately at extra cost, which some owners feel is steep relative to the grill's small size
