Compact and Portable Ceramic Grill with Full Big Green Egg Performance
The Big Green Egg MiniMax® is built for cooks who want true Big Green Egg performance in a portable, space-efficient format. Standing just 19.5 inches (50 cm) tall with a 13-inch (33 cm) stainless steel grid, it provides 133 sq in (855 sq cm) of cooking space and precise temperature control from 200°F to 750°F (93°C to 399°C). Despite its compact size, the MiniMax supports grilling, smoking, roasting, baking, and searing with the same ceramic efficiency found in larger Eggs.
Constructed from the same premium ceramics and equipped with an advanced airflow system, the MiniMax retains heat exceptionally well and maintains stable temperatures—making it ideal for focused cooking, travel-friendly setups, and cooks who value precision over maximum capacity.

How It Performs
The MiniMax’s thick ceramic walls stabilize internal temperatures and lock in moisture, helping food cook evenly and stay tender. The airflow system responds quickly to adjustments, making it easy to maintain low temperatures for smoking or ramp up heat for high-temperature searing. Its compact firebox also promotes efficient charcoal use during shorter cooks.
Expandable Cooking System (Functional Benefits)
The MiniMax integrates seamlessly with the Big Green Egg accessory ecosystem to expand what it can do:
- The Portable Nest stabilizes the Egg on uneven terrain, making it suitable for travel and outdoor adventures.
-
EGG Mates® add convenient side prep space without compromising portability.
- The rEGGulator® allows precise airflow control for consistent smoking and searing.
-
Natural lump charcoal burns cleanly and evenly, delivering authentic wood-fired flavor.
-
Signature rubs enhance ingredients with balanced seasoning that complements, rather than masks, natural flavors.
Together, these components transform the MiniMax into a complete, mobile outdoor cooking system.
