Stone and Drip Pan Recommendations

Use these recommendations to choose the best deflector, drip pan, or pizza stone for your XL Big Green EGG accessories.

Drip Pan: The CGS 18" Round Stainless Drip Pan is recommended for most XL EGG raised-grid and indirect setups, including the CGS XL Woo, XL Adjustable Rig, XL EGGspander, and convEGGtor setups.

Pizza Setup

Best choice: 16" Deflector

16" is the recommended pizza stone. You can go smaller, but going bigger can make the pizza harder to handle and stone temperature difficult to stabilize. Add CGS ceramic spacers to create a beneficial air gap under the pizza stone.

CGS XL Woo Ring

Best choice: Two 18" Half-Moon Deflectors

The XL Woo Ring works with two 18" half-moon deflectors. They provide the best flexibility for indirect and two-zone setups.

  • Other option: EGG convEGGtor

CGS XL Adjustable Rig

Best choice: Two 18" Half-Moon Deflectors

The XL Adjustable Rig is best paired with two 18" half-moon deflectors for flexible indirect smoking and two-zone grilling.

CGS XL Spider

Best choice: Two 18" Half-Moon Deflectors

Use a pair of 18" half-moon deflectors for the lower deflector on double indirect setups or big two-grid cooks on the Adjustable Rig.

Use one 18" half-moon deflector to set up two-zone grilling with the XL grid on the fire ring.

XL Half Stone Hanger

Best choice: One 18" Half-Moon Deflector

The XL Half Stone Hanger is designed to hold one 18" half-moon deflector on the XL Adjustable Rig.

Big Green EGG XL EGGspander

Best choice: Two 18" Half-Moon Deflectors

For the XL EGGspander, a pair of 18" half-moon deflectors is the preferred setup for indirect cooking and two-zone flexibility.
