Product Description

Control Radiant Heat In and Around Your Kamado

Our Ceramic Spacers are simple, heavy-duty utility pieces for managing air gaps, heat transfer, and vertical clearance inside your kamado grill. Cast from the same high-heat refractory ceramic material used in our premium heat deflectors, these kiln-fired spacers are built to handle kamado cooking temperatures.

Sold as a set of three (3), these handy risers make it easy to create spacing exactly where you need it — under pizza stones, drip pans and more.

Three Essential Uses for Every Kamado

1. Raise Your Pizza Stone

Use ceramic spacers to lift your pizza stone above an indirect heat deflector, plate setter, or ceramic stone. The air gap helps reduce the radiant heat coming off the lower deflector, giving you better temperature control with the pizza stone.

2. Burnt Drippings in the Pan

Place your stainless drip pan on ceramic spacers instead of directly on a deflector. The added air gap helps reduce direct heat transfer from the deflector to the pan, which can help lower the pan temperature on low and slow cooks.

3. Protect Outdoor Work Surfaces

Use ceramic spacers outside the grill when setting down hot deflectors, pizza stones, or cast iron grids. They help keep hot ceramic and metal pieces elevated above wood tables, decking, prep stations, and other stone or granite work surfaces.

Available Ceramic Spacer Sizes

What size should you pick? Choose the spacer height that gives your setup the most useful air gap while still fitting comfortably inside your grill or rack system. It is common for kamado owners to keep multiple spacer sets on hand for different grills, cooking setups, or outdoor work surfaces.

For Large and XL kamados, our 2-inch spacer is the most popular and versatile option. The 5/8-inch and 1-inch sizes are better choices when clearance is tight or for use on table, kitchen, or outdoor work surfaces. 

The 5/8-inch and 1-inch spacers can be double stacked for additional height, but use care if you need to move the setup after stacking.

Spacer Height Length Width
5/8" spacer 1.50" 1.50"
1" spacer 1.50" 1.50"
2" spacer 1.50" 1.50"

The 1" and 2" spacers can be used on their 1.5" side for added flexibility. Use care when using the 1" spacer on its side and do not double stack them.

Ceramic spacers are one of those small accessories you will use more often than expected. Whether you are raising a pizza stone, protecting a drip pan, creating an air gap above a deflector, or setting hot parts on an outdoor table, they are an inexpensive and reliable way to control spacing and reduce scorching.

Retrofit of 30 year old BGE with CGS spacers.

I bought the ceramic spacers for an old medium big green egg that had a broken fire ring. the new one was too big and needed clearance and the spacers allowed it to fit. They were perfect for what I needed.

Great spacers but not the same as pictured

Great spacers but not the same as pictured, not a huge deal but they aren’t the same. The ones received for a while now (I’ve ordered multiple throughout the years) are solid no hole in the middle and sides aren’t notched on all 4 sides. These pictures are what they were selling 8 years ago The latest ones are a hair taller than the last.

Good product, expensive shipping

Small blocks of ceramic, as described. I use them to create an air gap a doubleheat deflector on my Spider Huntsman grill. Also used them to lift my drip tray off the ceramic heat deflector so the dripings dont burn. Fast (but expensive) shipping.

Ceramic spacers

These spacers worked wonders to create @smoking dad’s barbecue double indirect set up with my BGE. I bought a spider but it restricts the amount of charcoal you can use and has broken two pizza stones from being too close to the heat. I hope that you work with @smokingdadbarbecue to improve the spider soon! In the meantime, these spacers worked wonders as a short term fix.

Spacers work great!

The spacers are a game changer. It allows the heat to circulate around what you are cooking without overheating. Works great for pizza on the BGE.

I purchased these spacers to replace the janky unlevel pieces of brick that I had been using to elevate my pizza stone from my grill deflectors. They work like a charm!

Small investment for great results

I use one set of blocks to raise my pizza stone in the BGE. In addition. As I am heating the Egg, I broil the pizza stone in highest rack elevated with a second set of ceramic blocks . This way i am able to raise the stone to about 650, for a nicely crusty bottom

These are little luxuries. You could use anything as a spacer in your grill, but these are perfectly designed for this, uniform in size, heat proof, etc. Treat yourself!

They take the heat

Use the small ones (0.5") to double stack a couple heat plates, allowing for better air flow (smoke) and hotter temps without overcooking the bottom of a piece of meat. Also great for use with a drip pan. Works on both the Joe Jr & the Big Joe. Bought an additional set for my son; he likes them too.

Super Spacer's

I bought the set of three 1.5" ceramic spacer's to raise my pizza stone up higher because the the higher you cook your pizza the faster the crust cooks. These Spacer's work great IMO great quality just make sure you have a proper storage place to keep them because they are ceramic!
