Select Half Stone Hanger Option

Greater capability than Joe's Expander, go half-moon with or without a heat deflector, go full grid on big cooks. No connection to the Joe grids. Fits all Big Joes.

The key to the Expander is its two grid system. With two grids, you can configure grid size and position depending on what and how much you're cooking.

The Big Joe Expander fits both Big Joe 1, 2 & 3. Check the video to see how easy it is.

Important: Don't miss the Half Stone Hanger update below. It really adds another dimension to using the Expander, Ideal for Reverse Sear method.

 Most folks find:

  • When grilling, the half grid allows easy access to and adds plenty of shelf space above the Divide and Conquer grids. 
  • When BBQing, both grids on the Expander provides sufficient grid space for big briskets, multiple pork butts or several rack of ribs above the Divide & Conquer system. 
  • For pizza, the Expander puts the pizza stone high in the dome - just where you want it!
  • Being able to move the Expander to different levels on the Divide and Conquer system adds a great deal of versatility.

Half Stone Hanger Option:

We modified the XL EGG Hanger to fit the Big Joe Expander. It's an easy way to create an indirect set-up under the Expander's Half Grid.

The XL EGG owners really enjoy this option with the reverse sear method, as you can do the entire cook without reconfiguring the grill.

 

Big Plus: Unlike Kamado Joe's Expander, you can use the Expander independent of the Joe half grids. The Expander does not need to hook into the Joe grids.

The Big Joe Expander is a Ceramic Grill Store Exclusive. Designed by us and fabricated in our wire shop!

Big joe expander

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

The good stuff

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.

Best specs but subpar execution

Best specs imo for an expander across multiple options, but the build quality is meh. Half grill that connects does not sit flush and clunk/clank when placing things on. Sure, it’s just an annoyance, but for a $100+ accessory from a “cottage” company, I would expect better. When informing the company upon receiving the item, I was told to just make do. If I had known I would get Chinese type qc, I would have taken a chance on Amazon items and can free return.

On rare occasion, UPS will mishandle our boxes. We asked that you try a simple one minute fix to realign the expander's top ring so the grid will sit flat, before sending out a replacement. It's unfortunate you would not try the simple repair, as it's the easiest and quickest way to resolve your issue. CGS Team

Perfect add-on

Expanded my grill enough that I cooked three briskets (one large, two smaller). Exactly what I needed. Well built and very useful.
