Hey everyone, Im looking to buy this big green egg mini second hand. But the handle does not say big green egg. Does this mean this one is fake, because all the other parts look really.

Curiously, why do you think it isn’t?

Handles can be replaced, but i wonder why because everything else looks new. That gasket was replaced too. It is not an original gasket. Find out the story with this elderly egg still looks so new.

It’s a real Mini with a $10 replacement 4” handle. You can buy Mini’s at some company owned (not independently owned) Ace hardware stores from $300.

Nobody’s making fake big green eggs. People are willing to buy egg grills that aren’t BGE because it works functionally the same.

They might have done a FULL on clean burn.
But you are RIGHT it does look OFF because its too clean. If you live near, just go to them and pick it up if its cheap enough to warrant the price

That’s the *new style band with a non-BGE gasket and not the new handle. It’s possible that the owner removed the handle and bands when they installed the gasket and cleaned things up, then re-installed the handle on backwards. Check if the wood on the side facing the egg has the brand. Either way, it looks like a genuine mini and if you want a different handle it is also very easy to make and install a new one (just two blocks of wood and re-use the hardware that it comes with).
Edited because I said that was the old style band, but it’s actually the new style band with what might be the old handle?

Yes, it is. If you buy it replace that stand ASAP.

Since they’re not making them anymore, the value may go up

Yes indeed and don’t let it’s size fool you because it can pump out some amazing cooks!
