Never heard of it but if you are successful in finding it please forward the information. It sounds like it is what I am looking for aswell. Did you try ceramic grillstore.com?

That's it! AWESOME! Is anyone else using these? Does a large BGE take the 18.5" or the 22.5"?
-
Yes, at least one of our members uses it:

A large egg uses an 18.5 grid
That is nice but $70 seems kinda pricey and you will probably have to add shipping (maybe I am just cheep) :blink: -
I have one for each of my two Lge's. I love them. They do a terrific job on hi-temp sears and the solid inserts are super for veggies, etc. I use mine for just about all single level cooks. Another thing, putting in wood chips or chunks is a snap. When your fire is hot, grid is hot, and you are ready to go, just lift out a section with the handy little lift tool and toss in your wood, put it back and put on the meat. Easy Peasy! :P
They are expensive but well made and worth every penny !
Store them in the egg to prevent rust

I couldnt agree more Smokey. Get a $10 cast iron skillet or griddle and use the standard grid that comes with the Egg. Cast Iron grids are overrated anyway.
I normally have wood left in the firebox after a slo/lo anyway, so no reason to add it during a smoke. -
I've been very happy with mine, especially with the griddle insert for when I'm doing veggies to go with fajitas or scallops for surf and turf.Knoxville, TN

Just put a cast iron skillet on whatever grid you have. And as for lifting the grid to add wood chunks, I have a CI grid and whenever I need to remove it, I use one of those hand held garden rakes. Cheap and works very well. Can't see spending a ton of cash on a gimmick.

I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Forgot to mention... you really need to THINK before you post pics like that. There are children here. Seriously.

Sorry Carolina, didn't mean to offend you. It was meant in humor. :( Didn't realize there are "children" on here.... I figured it was all adults based on some of the language I have seen flying around these threads. I will keep the rest of my post "PG" from now on! :evil:

Yeah, the youngest I know of is 10 (I think). I've heard that some of the parents here like to peruse the forum with their kids.
Anyway, thanks.I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!
