Eggcessories for the BGE mini - not the mini max

Are there add-ons for the BGE mini any more or has the mini max taken over the market? I was looking for a 10 inch cast iron grate and I cant seem to find anything for the mini. Should I sell this little booger and buy a mini max?

Could you use a fire grate? They are 9". Would it sit on the Mini grid and sill give you the benefit of cast iron? It won't leave sear "lines", but it would work.
The mini is a neat little grill, just must not be a lot of demand for Eggcessories.Clinton, Iowa -

dont know if there ever was one and there should have been one. the mini and small dont get as hot as the large does for searing. still useful, heres my mini knockoff from vision with a fry basket, i took the grate out and set in on some foil on the lump. ive cooked as many as 24 wings split into 48 wingettes and drums this way

my small would get to 750f dome max and it took an hour to get there, i moved it to a friends camp. my large will get to 1200f dome temps in that time.

To answer your question in my opinion yes you should sell it. The minimax is still small enough to carry but gives you enough room to cook for 4 people if need be. I use my minimax for 90% of my cooks for my family of 4. You will have more options for accessories as well.

I have both, I personally would not sell my mini to buy a mini max. The mini is a fire cracker and will get hot faster than the mini max. Plus I am pretty sure the mini manufactures lump instead of consuming it. Its amazing. Regarding accessories, the only one I keep in my minis is a second fire ring to raise the grate.
