Large Big Green EGG Expander for Half Moon Deflectors - CGS Woo

Simple, better smoking/roasting, handling, and space

The Woo system with the half moon deflectors, drip pan, and sliding second grid are working out great. I've used a platesetter/conveggtor for 10 years and the half moons with the Woo are a definite upgrade. It's easier to get in and out and makes for better smoking/indirect cooking because there are no notches where things burn. Temperature is still consistent, air flow great, and the flexibility to do 2-zone cooking has been useful too. I've also been able to put extra items to smoke/roast on the second level. Went with this setup over the adjustable rig for simplicity, although that would've given even more options, this has been plenty.

Late to the party

I've been sold on the Big Green Egg for over ten years. Presumptions toward believing the original components were necessary changed when I discovered the plate setter (aka convEggtor) developed a substantial crack after 14 years. After a denied warranty claim from BGE, I came across the Ceramic Grill Store online and their variety of common sense accessories. Reading the reviews prompted my purchase of the Large Green CGS Woo. I also appreciated the assist from Kelsie who answered some initial questions to provide assurance. Although the ConvEGGtor served me well for 12+ years, the convenience of the CGS Woo and its simple handle design provides easy-lift access to the coals in lieu of removing the grid and ConvEggtor separately. I am very pleased with the purchase and wish I had known about the Ceramic Grill Store earlier.

Raised the grill up off the coals and level with the lid opening.
