GOING ALL IN!

Options
I have recently sold my Weber Performer, my Weber Genesis, and all the other various grills I owned in favor of my LBGE. I currently have a large Egg, nest, folding side tables, plate setter, ash tool, and Thermapen. I removed the other grills in favor of going all in on the Egg-spereince. What other egg-cessories do you have that make your egg more enjoyable and elevate your experience?

My preliminary thoughts for possible additions:

1. Kick Ash Basket
2. BBQ Guru
3. Egg Table

    I don't really see the need of getting rid of everything, but that's your call on that.  Sometimes you need other cooking vessels.  

    Here's my take: 

    Extended cooking surface/raised type cooking - AR or some type of extender. 

    CI pans

    CI Griddle

    Kick Ash basket seems like a good thing, but I don't really have an issue with just scooping out by hand.  

    BBQ Guru, well, I don't use mine much to be honest.  It's only for 10-15% of the time for low and slows, etc... Other wise I don't use one.  

    Table is nice to have.  Extended work space is great.

    I have two larges so I had a table built that can hold both of them. 

    What do I own that makes the experience better? A Thermapen, a Maverick, and Hi Que grates.

    I have a BBQ Guru and love it on overnight cooks, lets me sleep comfortably knowing the fan and thermostat will keep the temp right for me.  I've wanted to build a table since I got my Egg but I've held off on that and I don't think I'm going to build one.  I've seen a couple of horror stories on here and I like the mobility the nest provides.  I have purchased a rolling table that I can move near my egg to prep with and provide more space.  The best accessory I've found is a handle mounted battery powered LED light for night cooks and when it's getting dark.  I found it at my dealer so I don't have a link for it but it mounts right behind the large handle on one side and the light unit slides in and out of its holder.

    Meat and beverages. And a weed burner. The weed burner before too many beverages.

    I'll agree with Aukerns08.  The BBQ guru is well worth the money.  First butt I cooked went out over night.  Bought one of these and it's WONDERFUL.  Also a couple cast iron skillets for steaks etc. And the indirect heat stones as well.  Enjoy!

    Add a raised grid and a pizza stone. Pizza stone is great for all kinds of baking. Raised grid opens the world of raised direct cooking over a small fire, and expands the capacity of the Egg.

    I have a BBQ Guru CyberQ.  It may be an expensive tool, but it is definitely worth it.  Being able to control your egg from anywhere is a valuable capability.

    My egg (and this forum) is tempting me to do the opposite. Since getting the egg I've added a Joe Junior and an Anova sous vide and now I'm seriously considering a Blackstone Griddle. I also have my eye on a cabinet smoker and possibly a wok burner. Might even add a weber kettle. I really appreciate the flexibility of the egg, but sometimes another tool does some things better and/or just allows you to do more stuff at once.
