Divide & Conquer System in Large BGE

SkySaw

Can anyone confirm that they have fit a KJ Divide and Conquer rack into their Large Egg? I picked one up today and the rack does not fit easily into my Egg. I'm not sure now whether it's something about my Egg in particular, manufacturing variance in the KJ Rack that I bought, or whether in general the D&C rack simply does not fit into the BGE.

@Biggreencraig has one I think....

I use one in my XL. The flexibility is impressive.  I'm unsure if the Large model will fit. I wonder if @Bosco would know...

your fitting problem is not unique on the large egg,  legs don't fit inside the fire ring.  

On the xl egg, one leg will sit over the platesetter notch.  makes it a little wobbly.

Thanks for the comments. I hope the store takes the pieces back. I really like the ability to do half indirect.

You can use half grates and half stones with the Ceramic Grill Store Adjustable Rig.

Thanks - what brand of half grates and stones. Do you know if the KJ half stone, grates, etc., work with the AR? It would at least also require the Spider, wouldn't it?

I believe the diameter of the KJ is slightly larger, so maybe that is the reason?  I have been curious if this would work as well.  Ceramic grill store is very expensive for me to ship to Canada

 I have been thinking of ways to attempt split zone cooking on my LBGE for a while. This looks intriguing.

I met them at the Georgia Mnt Eggfest.
Really nice people. The stuff is very well made and I would love to try the system...
they were not in a great spot at the fest and I only talked with the owner saw the product back at the hotel.

Very interesting system but kinda pricey

I have been thinking of cutting the oval stone of my AR R&B combo - use the half stone to create a direct zone and an indirect zone for the same cook. Thinking of cutting it in half vs. 1/3rd + 2/3rd.

If you get a chance to put your hands on the product and see the quality of materials and how well it's made the price really feels right.

@Big_Green_Craig can you tell me  where you got the system for the xl.  I've contacted KJ and have not been able to get an answer.

If you want to do half indirect, the half moon stone works well. I use it to do reverse sear steaks indirect and veggies direct.

SkySaw

Do you just rest the half stone on the fire ring? I would find a convenient half indirect setup capable of being used at multiple levels incredibly useful. It's  odd that there isn't a clear and easy solution for this on the BGE.

There is a KJ shop where I live.

This product does not do the same thing.

True, not the same but the above post does not show the indirect half pieces that he chose not to purchase. He chose the half lump tray instead for his needs. The half pieces would allow for half direct and half indirect cooking.
The only thing I don't like is that it does not raise the cooking grate level higher in the dome like some of the other products.

someone is Hamilton ON is selling an XL for $900, go for it, it's easier to divide and conquer than a large
