Platesetter for the Mini?!?

Has anyone seen/used this platesetter for the mini? Just wondering if it is legit?

Weighing the small vs mini addition to the family, and if the mini had platesetter, that changes things a bit in my mind.
Thanks.

My family runs a store that sells Eggs and we just did an order 2 weeks ago and I didn't see a mini plate setter. I assume it is an after market one but I'm sure someone here has used one? I have a mini personally and would love them to come out with more accessories!!!

I it must be newish cause I've never seen it on here_______________________________________________XLBGE

That's a new one on me but not saying it isn't legit. I know everyone that I have talked to that has a mini uses a 8 inch ceramic stone purchased from amazon with a setup from Ceramic Grill Store.

IMO a much better buy is the stones from Amazon and the "Mini Woo" from Ceramic Grill Srore as said earlier. Then you have the platform to add a Lodge griddle from Mission Supply and a 10 Wok from the Wok Shop. Just many more ways to go. I wish I had never bought the platesetter for my Large many years ago. Just other options.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

The plate setter for the mini is a new item, but, doesn't show on the BGE web site yet. It's real!!

Mickey.....is it the 9 1/4 inch griddle? This one: http://www.missionrs.com/L70GH3.html
And are you saying a 10 inch wok? heck I figured a little larger wok would work.

@mickey how you ever done a small butt on the mini? What size butt could one fit on the mini...my guess would be 3-4 lbs?Atlanta suburbs

This was a 5 lb butt but it was like the perfect shape & barely fit.
Someone (can't remember who) squeezed a 6 lb butt in but I think they said it was touching parts of the inside of the dome.XL, Large, Small, Mini Eggs, Shirley Fabrication 24x36 Patio, Humphrey's Weekender, Karubecue C-60, MAK 1-Star General, Hasty Bake Gourmet, Santa Maria Grill, Webers: 14" WSM, 22.5" OTG, 22.5" Kettle Premium, WGA Charcoal, Summit S-620 NG

The mini plate setter will be available in 4-6 weeks according to the retail store.

Still think the mini woo plus stone is a better option. My raised direct setup on the large -- bricks -- wouldn't work on the mini, the mini woo is perfect.*******Owner of a large and a beloved mini in Philadelphia

I love the woo / stone combo for my small egg. I actually have never cooked without my woo. I even bought it before I bought my small egg so I was ready when I did pickup the egg.Big Green Egg has probably seen those movies @Spring_Chicken made and posts from @R2Egg2Q @Mickey and the rest of the mini eggers and realized the mini was more useful than just a ultra portable egg to do direct cooking on. So they came up with a platesetter.I wish I knew about the mini egg while I was traveling for work a couple years ago, 310 days a year on the road could have been much better with the mini and I could have just left it in my trunk during the day. Even if I had to run to the butcher every day due to lack of fridge space in some of the hotels.I love seeing all the creative posts stuffing those little guys with food.Large & Small BGE, CGW Two-Tier Swing Rack for BOTH EGGS, Spider for the Wok, eggCARTen & and Cedar Pergola my Eggs call home in Edmond, OK.
