Wrenches Included: We include the two wrenches you need to assemble the band kit. One big plus, the wrench for the multiple acorn nuts is a 12 pt. ratcheting wrench. It will make assembly much easier and won't mar the nuts' painted finish like metal open-end & box wrenches. You'll appreciate the better look using the ratcheting wrench. Keep the wrenches in the tool box as dedicated EGG wrenches. Then, every couple months you can do a quick check to make sure the nuts are snug.
Band kits are the current version from Big Green EGG and include the entire assembly - bands, springs, handle, hardware and instructions. The old style hinge assembly is no longer available from Big Green EGG.
Important: Before ordering, do yourself a favor and measure the diameter of your Big Green EGG's cooking grid. The grid is what the food sits on. Do not measure any part of the actual Big Green EGG. Compare your measurement to the diameters listed along side the Big Green EGG grills below.
This is the easiest way to insure you get the right size Big Green EGG band kit. Trust us on this, as you would not believe the number of folks who think their Big Green EGG is one size but it's actually another size.
Big Green EGG Band Kits;
- XXL, 2XLarge w/ Anti-Sway – 29" diameter grid,
- XL EGG – 24" diameter grid,
- Large EGG – 18.25" diameter grid,
- Medium EGG – 15" or 15.75" diameter grid.

Note: Due to their special use and packaging, Band Kits are non-returnable.
Recommendation: Great time to replace the gasket seal on base and dome. We carry Aramid Nomex, peel and stick gaskets.
Over the years, Big Green EGG has made several modifications to the various band assemblies. These are the most current assemblies by Big Green EGG and generally in stock for immediate shipping.
