Accessories for the MiniMax Big Green EGG

Can’t say enough good things about the ceramic grill store. I’ve ordered other products from them in the past, which are still holding up very well. I own a bge mini max which sometimes it’s hard to find products for such as a half deflector plate, keep up the good work, I will always look to the ceramic grill store for my bbq accessory’s they make products better than anyone else does

They sell top quality stuff made in America. Shipping and packing is quick and well done. They are my “go to“ for BBQ.

This is a 100% improvement over the old style hinge. Wish I had done it sooner.

Very easy to clean and care for, completely covers the entire cooking surface underneath the grill so there are no worries about rogue drips getting on the stones or in the coal bed. A+

Ceramic Grill Store needs to advertise this accessory better because I vastly prefer it over moving around half moon grates on my Kamado Joe and the grate spacing is wider making it better for direct flame cooking (like searing).

The best part is you still get lots of advantages using the divide and conquer with it.

I will be using these for heat deflectors and pizza stones. And a good price.

This was a great accessory for my Kamado Joe. It gave me so much more grill space. I would recommend this addition.

I do low and slow indirect cooks almost exclusively on my KJ BJ III. Fan of double indirect, sometimes with the slo-roller – sometimes not. And depending on the cook, I get desirable results with an added water pan.

The challenge has been - how do I stack all that up when it is game on and I am trying to balance heat deflectors on the charcoal basket tabs while the blazing hot coals are engulfing my hands? The pros on the internet aren’t fazed, but I freak and give up for fear of dropping and cracking the heat deflectors – while melting my gloves.

CGS hook leg spider to the rescue. I bought CGS 16 inch heat deflectors to go with it. Immediate ear-to-ear smile on my face from the first time I used it. Easy to quickly drop the spider on the bottom rung of the divide-and-conquer rack as I used it, or onto the charcoal basket. Then it is no challenge to place the heat deflectors on to the spider ring – mission accomplished and hands out of the direct fire very quickly. On to completing the accessories / cooking grid setup and bringing the KJ up to stable cooking temperature.

This opens several new options for cook setups. As I’ve contemplated and executed different cooking tasks / methods, I wished I had an extra accessory rack. The CGS spider gives me that. I’ve wanted to add a water pan under the slo-roller for a long cook. I can do that with the CGS hook leg spider. A 14 inch drip pan drops right into the ring. With the CGS spider and heat deflectors, I can execute double indirect without the slo-roller – so if I plan to raise the temperature above the 300 degree max recommendation for the slo-roller to finish a cook at higher heat, I am covered without having to modify the setup during the cook.

This purchase was a big win for me.

Everything arrived in good shape, fit my grill perfectly and came sooner than expected

I really like the Raised grid set up. Handy easily manipulated!! Thanks

I am impressed with your operation! Really quality stuff and great service/communication. I really wish I had known about you all earlier.

Very nice Stainless product that fits perfectly and prevents a lot of cleaning.

I recently purchased the expander for my Kamado Joe Big Joe. I used it this last weekend to smoke 4 racks of full pork spare ribs. These weren’t trimmed down to St Louis cut. I was very happy with the results. I had worried that the height would cause a large difference in grate temperatures. That was not the case at all. All 4 racks were probe tender at about 5 hours with no noticeable difference in color or moisture content. The flip up front grate worked well for reaching the rear rack on the lower level. I look forward to seeing what affect raising the pizza stone that high into the dome is going to have on pizzas. This is a well made, very functional BBQ tool to add to your collection of things that really work.

The Large Big Green EGG, Adjustable Rig Expander Combo provides everything you need to smoke/grill practically any meal you like. The build quality is outstanding and will provide many years of use. My order was quickly received and well packaged. I actually talked to Tom before I ordered and he was happy to help me get the product information I was looking for. You couldn’t ask for a more knowledgeable and sharing person. I can’t wait for my next purchase to support this wonderful small family owned business. CGS ROCKS!
