18-Inch XL Woo Half-Moon Deflectors for XL Big Green EGG

Gain More Versatility with Half-Moon Deflectors on the CGS Woo - a Smarter Set-up over the XL Big Green EGG convEGGtor.

Gain superior cooking flexibility with this set of 18-Inch Half-Moon Ceramic Deflectors, perfectly sized for use with the CGS XL Woo and your XL Big Green EGG. They offer a smarter, more dynamic setup compared to the standard full-round convEGGtor.

These deflectors create the essential indirect heat platform you need for low-and-slow BBQ, high-heat pizza, baking, and professional two-zone grilling.

What's Included

Under Select Deflector, pick:

• One Half Round - adds one 18-inch half-moon deflector
• Two Half Rounds - adds a pair of 18-inch half-moon deflectors

Key Features & Max Versatility

The deflectors sit perfectly on the CGS XL Woo’s lower ring, creating an ideal platform for indirect cooks and two-zone grilling. Positioning is quick and effortless.

• BBQ (Low & Slow): Use two 18-inch half-moon deflectors for full indirect coverage.
• Half-Moon Grilling: Use one 18-inch deflector to create two temperature zones.
• Pizza Stone: Use both half-moons high in the dome.
• Size Matters: 18-inch provides maximum protection and maintains proper airflow.

Why Choose Half-Moons

Half-Moons are favored by EGGhead's because they:

• Are easier to handle and position
• Weigh less than a full-round convEGGtor
• Match the circular diameter of the XL convEGGtor
• Offer unmatched flexibility
• Are cheaper to replace if one breaks

Compatibility & Pro Tips

The 18-inch half-moon deflectors work perfectly with:

• CGS XL Woo
• CGS XL Adjustable Rig
• CGS XL Spider 2.0
• CGS XL Flexible 2nd Grid
• Big Green Egg XL EGGspander Basket
• XL Pizza Stone

Pro Tip: You can use the 18s across multiple CGS XL accessories. It's the perfect way to turn your existing gear into new, dynamic cooking setups.

Why Use a Stainless Drip Pan

Ceramic deflectors absorb moisture like a sponge. Trapped moisture can steam, stress the ceramic, and eventually lead to cracks. Using a drip pan helps:

• Keep fluids away from the deflector
• Reduce burnt-on drippings
• Keep your grill cleaner for faster start-ups

Ceramic Spacers

CGS Spacers provide two useful setups:

• Pizza Cooks: Lift the pizza stone above the lower deflector — up to CGS 2-inch Spacers recommended.
• BBQ Cooks: Lift the drip pan above the heat deflector — CGS 1-inch Spacers recommended.

Use & Care

• Heat gradually with the grill to prevent thermal shock
• Always use a drip pan during BBQ cooks
• Do not oil or place in dishwasher; scrape debris and gently burn off residue
• Natural smoke darkening is normal
• Avoid high-heat clean burns

Specs

• High-heat refractory ceramic construction
• True Diameter: ~18-1/2 inch
