Maximize your XL Big Green EGG grilling potential with the XL Adjustable Rig 2 Grid Combo.
The XL Adjustable Rig 2 Grid Combo provides additional cooking capability - more grid space and placement options.
For greatest capability, the Combo is typically paired with the EGG ConvEGGtor or our Expander - CGS Woo.
Note:
For very old XL EGGs, before 2012 - see important information below before ordering.
This Combo only fits the XL Big Green EGG. It will not fit other kamado grills.
How to set the Rig:
The XL Adjustable Rig can sit:
directly on the fire ring;
atop the XL Woo with handles, XL grid optional;
atop the XL Woo no handles, XL grid required, or
atop the XL ConvEGGtor, XL grid required.
What's included:
XL Adjustable Rig & Pair Crossbars - For multi-grid cooks, the XL Rig sits on top of CGS' XL Woo Ring or EGG's ConvEGGtor/Grid. For single grid cooks, the Rig sits directly on the fire ring. The Rig Crossbars hold grids, stones and pans at the various levels inside the Rig.
XL Slide Guide w/ Crossbar sits on the Rig's two lowest settings and makes it easy to slide the 16"x20" Oval Grid in and out of the Rig. The Slide Guide can hold ceramic stones and pans too.
16"x20" Oval Stainless Grid sits on the Crossbars or Slide Guide. The Oval Grid can sit on top of the Rig.
20" Round Stainless Grid sits on top of the Rig.
Add the XL convEGGtor and XL Cooking Grid to have three levels for smoking barbeque.
2 Grid Combo
With ConvEGGtor & Grid
Different ways to Grill and Smoke:
Smoke up to 9 racks of ribs
Smoke big on two levels
Grill higher, up in the dome
Slide out oval grid
Pizza on the XL Rig:
Atop the Rig is the best place to do pizza, as it pushes high in the dome. The pizza pictured was baked at 450°F. Note there is no blocking stone, only the pizza stone atop the Rig.
Mothballing the ConvEGGtor
If you want to eliminate the ConvEGGtor for more functional capabilities, you can go with our XL Woo - CGS Expander and 18" Half-Moon Deflectors. You'll want to check out our XL Woo Adjustable Rig Combo, as it will give you the greatest capability in the XL EGG.
Best single grid BBQ set-up going....Any Kamado
If you have CGS' Pair 18" Half Stones and 18" Stainless Drip Pan, you can use the Combo and duplicate the brisket cook in the video. It will not take long for this set-up to be your favorite when BBQing on one grid. No grill matches it for convenience and performance - it's that good!
The set-up yields better airflow, provides easy access to the lump and produces more consistent temperatures over the grid. What XL EGG owners love about this set-up is you don't have to touch anything to manage fire or smoke.
Important: For XL EGGs Before 2012
If your XL Egg is 2012 or older, you need to verify that the XL Rig will work with the ConvEGGtor or XL Expander - CGS Woo.
XL Woo Ring: To make sure the XL Woo Ring fits, measure from the top of the fire ring to the felt line. The measurement needs to be at least 3 inches. See picture below left.
XL Adjustable Rig: For the XL Adjustable Rig to work in tandem with the XL Woo or EGG ConvEGGtor, the measurement from grid to daisy wheel needs to be at least 16 inches. Follow the three steps and see picture below right.
set the XL Big Green EGG cooking grid on the fire ring and close the dome;
no ConvEGGtor in the grill;
slide a tape through the daisy wheel until it hits the grid;
take the measurement at the daisy wheel. It needs to be at least 16".

Simply put, nothing matches the versatility of the Adjustable Rig. By creatively pairing the Rig with other accessories, you can (1) cook "raised direct" (sort of like a Santa Maria style grill or like a drum smoker) at multiple different heights from the coals, (2) cook indirect higher in the dome and without the platesetter, allowing direct access to add more smoking chunks or stir the coals (try that on any other product in the market!), and (3) when needed, absolutely max out the capacity of your smoker.
The hardware is extremely high quality and will outlive me.
And most importantly, the customer service is top notch. Tom walked me through everything on the phone and answered my many follow-up questions by email. Count me as a very satisfied customer and a lifelong fan!
Kudos to Tom and his whole team for everything they do.

Awesome Christmas Present
My son-in-law has a Big Green Egg and the large Big Green Egg. He mentioned needing this item to be able to cook several different things at the same time. He was very surprised when he opened this Christmas present!! He used it as soon as it was opened and could not stop thanking me and talking about it!!
