CGW swing grid Small/minimax thoughts

I'm getting a little tired of trial and error accessories and figured I'd pose the question here. I'm wanting the CGW swing rack for my MM. For two reasons. One, I really like grilling on cast iron. (They say this produces similar results) And I'm wanting to replace my craycort three piece. (If anyone wants it let me know I'll send it to you) Second, I really want a good second tier for added space. (I did the redneck second grid with bolts). SO does anyone have one for a small/ mm? Thoughts???

I'll take the craycourt....

I really like my CGW swing rack on my Mini Max. It's great for low and slow but I prefer my cast iron for direct cooks. The CGW does not sear as well compared to the stainless or cast iron.

@Jeremiah I am interested too. Love my CGW setup for my large and debating getting one for the MM. This thread helps...

The temperature probe tree is from BBQ Guru:

The grill probe covers came with the iGrill2. I looked around and couldn't find anyone selling them separately.

Here's a shot from a recent catering gig. I used the Mini Max to smoke all of the appetizers, while the client's Large was used for the main course. These apps cook fairly quickly so I just kept rotating them in and out. There was always a fresh batch. (spinach & artichoke stuffed portobello mushrooms and Italian sausage & feta cheese stuffed sweet peppers)
