I’m staying at an AirBnB that has this mini (or minimax) Egg. Given I have a Large at home, I was excited to try a different size. I still am, but is this the right size Fire Grate?

It seems like there is hardly any room for charcoal. I also noticed there is no Fire Ring, but if there was, it would likely rise over the gasket, right?

Is this a mini egg of misfits lol?

    Looks like the fire box for a larger egg… I’ve never looked at a mini though.

    I also think it’s the fire box for a larger egg.

    That’s definitely the wrong fire box. Even the mini max has a fire box and fire ring. Hard to say what size that’s off of.

    It’s definitely a minimax. I think the fire grate is right, but the ceramic inside looks weird. There should be more space in the middle and the grate should fit further down.

    Edit: I think the inside pieces might be in the wrong position. Is there a shorter ceramic ring below the one we can see in the picture? If so, that one should be on top.

    It’s a minimax. But wrong fire bowl, and no ring as you noticed.

    Judging by the smaller ash basin, I’d bet that’s a bowl from a small?

  6. It’s a MiniMax with a firebox of a small egg.
