    An AR is an adjustable Rig by Ceramic Grill Store.  I don't believe they make it for the medium.

    Just got the AR for my large. Now my favorite accessory. Amazing what you can do with it.

    @SGH no, it is not.  That one is pretty sweet, isn't it?

    You might think about a Woo2 from Ceramic Grill Store for your medium egg.  It serves many of the functions of the adjustable rig.  Here's a link:  http://www.ceramicgrillstore.com/woo2-direct-or-indirect.html

    I count this as one of the best purchases I have made for a medium egg.

    It's very nice indeed. I have one with a 9" upper chambered in 300 Blackout with a Advanced Armament suppressor. Mine is black not camo though.

    You can not use the plate setter with the AR. You will need either a oval stone or a round stone like you see in my pics above. The plate setter works with the Woo not the AR my friend.

    @cook861 There is not an AR for the Medium. A medium wood is used with a round ceramic stone. The AR for the large works in a similar fashion for indirect. The XL AR can work with the Plate Setter. Check out:

    Here is the plate setter in the Woo. And a few more of the AR and the different stones that you can chose from. I like both for different cooks. The plate setter works with the Woo not with the AR. The round and oval stone work with the AR. I hope this helps my friend.imageimageimageimageimageimageimage

    IF i got a 1 inch thick round steel plate (14 inch diameter) would the woo2 be able to hold it up?

    I don't this so.  We'd need to add a front leg support and then the platesetter would not slide in and out.   That size and thickness of plate weighs approx. 44 pounds.  Not sure the purpose of it.

    As tarheelmat has posted a AR is a EBR (evil black rifle) I own a colt 6920 and it will not  fit on my egg. rofl

    Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

    I have only seen one Woo and that is the one that I own. That being said a 14" round stone or steel plate will work with the one I have. Before I go any farther, let me point out that mine started out as a Woo 3 but I removed the bottom ring. I do not know if the Woo 2 is built with the three indents for support or not. If it isn't then it probably will not work. I only have mine as a reference but a 14" will work with no problem on mine. Here are a few pics for clarity. Just a suggestion. 1" inch thick plate would be beyond overkill. You would be much better served with 3/8 or 1/2 thickness in my opinion. It would meet or exceed any cooking expectation with ease.imageimageimageimageimageimage

    Thank why i was saying 1 inch thick is beacuse  i cant remeber when i was cooking in the field how thick our baffel plates were i would rather be to thick (lol) then not thin  we used them to make toast for the guys and for shelves in our ovens woo2 has a bar at the bottom which will fit into the leg spacer on the plate setter and you can fir a 9X13 sheet pan on it for indirect cooking
