Large Big Green EGG Expander for Half Moon Deflectors - CGS Woo Large Big Green EGG Expander for Half Moon Deflectors - CGS Woo

I love this CGS Woo expander. It was the final piece I needed for my BGE refurbishment project. Shipping was fast and the item was well packaged. I have used it twice so far and it’s make smoking and clean up a breeze. I want to also mention this. I selected the wrong expander because I didn’t read the description fully. I phoned the ceramic grill store and they called me back and made the correction without charging me for it. I was super happy with this level of customer service. I plan on doing business again in the near future and will recommend friends to their store. Thank you again guys.

The Woo system with the half moon deflectors, drip pan, and sliding second grid are working out great. I've used a platesetter/conveggtor for 10 years and the half moons with the Woo are a definite upgrade. It's easier to get in and out and makes for better smoking/indirect cooking because there are no notches where things burn. Temperature is still consistent, air flow great, and the flexibility to do 2-zone cooking has been useful too. I've also been able to put extra items to smoke/roast on the second level. Went with this setup over the adjustable rig for simplicity, although that would've given even more options, this has been plenty.

I've been sold on the Big Green Egg for over ten years. Presumptions toward believing the original components were necessary changed when I discovered the plate setter (aka convEggtor) developed a substantial crack after 14 years. After a denied warranty claim from BGE, I came across the Ceramic Grill Store online and their variety of common sense accessories. Reading the reviews prompted my purchase of the Large Green CGS Woo. I also appreciated the assist from Kelsie who answered some initial questions to provide assurance. Although the ConvEGGtor served me well for 12+ years, the convenience of the CGS Woo and its simple handle design provides easy-lift access to the coals in lieu of removing the grid and ConvEggtor separately. I am very pleased with the purchase and wish I had known about the Ceramic Grill Store earlier.

Raised the grill up off the coals and level with the lid opening.

I ordered this one to replace my previous one with 3 legs. The welds finally had enough after almost 10 yrs. One thing I didnt think about was the extra inch closer to fire I was loosing going to 5 legs vice 3. Not sure it will matter thougg really though 2 legs sit over that part of the ring and are worthless. Hopefully they will be 2 more weld point to make it last a few more yrs. Quality product but leg placement could have been better.

Ordered with the ceramic half moons and new grid. Love it! I can set up for indirect cooking easier than using the BGE convector. Wish I had this years ago!

If you have a ceramic grill, you have to shop here. Great customer service, and the stuff you need to grill and smoke like a pro.

Was debating between this and a traditional plate setter. Really happy we went with this. Dual zone cooking and having the grate by the felt line are awesome. Everything seems well made.

Very nice product at a reasonable price

This was the perfect solution to get my grate right at felt line. I called before purchasing with a couple questions, and the person I spoke to was super helpful. Standard shipping arrived quickly, just a few days & in time for my weekend pizza on the grill.

Love this store and quality of accessories, it make cooking on the egg so much better. The half stones and the woo ring work great together for cooking different styles... when you want some direct and indirect cooking there is no better way to go...

Replaced my broken OEM conveggtor with a woo with 16-inch stone & drip pan. Fits perfectly in my large BGE. Precision design and manufacturing. Allows better low temperature control than OEM. Stone securely retained in woo to protect it. Easy to handle the assembly. Arrived in 2-3 days and did not expedite. Packaging was custom fit to protect contents. Happy camper.

I’m a repeat buyer. My (Med) woo from 2008 is still going strong and I wouldn’t be without it.
I leave it outside all year in a wet Scottish climate and it hasn’t shown any sign of age. I had the crossbars welded on (previous design) to stop losing them And I guess it’s paid off.
I’ve just received another - in large this time.
Different design but I’m so happy, it’s as bullet proof as the last but bigger (obvs).
This should be standard issue with the egg!
Love it
Would buy again
Will never need to - it’ll outlast me!

I bought the Woo+two half stones+stainless steel drip pan.

I'm very happy with this purchase. I made some Tri-Tip the other night and it was great. It's traditional on the Central coast to cook tritip on SM Grill over Red Oak but that's not practical for just cooking for my family. Instead, I cooked it on BGE and the woo w/handles let me add a chunk of Red Oak for flavor right before I added the meat. I cooked it at 500F and the outside was perfectly charred while the inside was perfectly pink.

I have also made bread using the Woo and while this helped alot I think it would be even better if I had the Woo Extender which is a purchase I will make later this year when some funds free up.

My only complaint is that the SS drip pan has warped on me. Not sure how this happened but it is what it is...

Planning to cook a whole chicken this week and I'm interested in seeing how much the Woo without stones reduces flare ups. This does seem to require a bit of a relearning of the BGE but if you know what you are doing it's pretty simple.

I'm a big fan of Ceramic Grill Store products. I have the Adjustable Rig, the PSWoo, and now the Woo for my Large Big Green Egg. Of the three, the Woo is my favorite. It has several advantages. I'll list them below:
1. The Woo is simple which is a BIG selling point to me. No small parts keep track of or lose.
2. You can use a 16" stone with it which is MUCH larger than the BGE convector which is only 13". This is far superior to the convector. You food no longer burns on the edges.
3. You can also use a 16" half stone.
4. For elevated cooking you have two different heights. Either set the legs down in the convector slots on the fire ring or set them on top of the fire ring. The PSWoo does NOT give you this flexibility.
5. It works with the Large PSWoo extender to give added height for cooking pizza.
6. I would recommend purchasing a 16" stone, a 16" drip pan, and the extender with the Woo.
7. Unless you are cooking large amounts of food and need multiple cooking grids at the same time this is the best product. If you are cooking large amounts then you may want to go with the Adjustable Rig.

Added a ton of flexibility to my vintage 1974 "modern style" imperial kamado, which did not come with a plate setter. This plus a 13 and 15 inch pizza stone and drip pan give you everything you need for every type of cook you would do at half the cost of a plate setter alone. Also, the modern style kamado's fire ring sits only about 1.5 inches below the felt line, but the dome is tall; this woo ring sits low enough that I have clearance to close the lid. I doubt I would be able to use the Adjustable Rig on my setup, as I think it would be too tall. Hope this helps anyone thinking of restoring their vintage modern style imperial.
