I would use the bag and the manifold next time, just make sure you don't over-fill the bag(s). The grain is going to expand substantially and if it gets too tight in there it will negatively impact your mash efficiency.
When you get the funds together a mash tun with a false bottom is going...

pine needles
honeysuckle
wild grapes
dewberries
sassafras
cranberries
cinnamon
coriander
oranges
apples
jalapenos
or a combination of these things, and I've blended batches.
I love alternative ingredients and when I was still a fairly new...
