  1. Curious but is that a Large Egg? I know that on mine I have 4 inches from the grid to the top which prevents me from being able to use a cast iron skillet with handle on it. If that is a large what did you do to raise the cooking grid?

  2. BGE has a 2 inch fire ring I put on top of my regular fire ring for most of my cooks anymore, trex, spatchcock chicken, casseroles, et al.
