I have the High Que fire grate for my small. http://www.high-que.com/Stainless-Charcoal-Grate-Upgrade-Small/dp/B00639K7KU
I also have the Woo for my small. Anything Tom makes at Ceramic Grill Store is awesome. He also makes a great stone for the small.
You will love the small.

@Sgt93 with all this confusion, I think you should just give the small away - I can be there in an hour

I have a small and I have the plate setter, BGE pizza stone (it actually is for the med but fits the small) the CI cooking grate, 2 regular cooking grates, a wok & the raised grid from CGS...I use them all. Out of our 4 BGE's the small is our go to most often...It has the Rutland gasket on the dome.

Does the Hi-Que make that much of a difference over the stock fire grate? Is there an added bonus to it?chrisnjenn said:I have the High Que fire grate for my small. http://www.high-que.com/Stainless-Charcoal-Grate-Upgrade-Small/dp/B00639K7KU

Good info, thanks. Does the med stone fit the small the best? Can I use it with the Woo if I go that route?vidalia1 said:I have a small and I have the plate setter, BGE pizza stone (it actually is for the med but fits the small) the CI cooking grate, 2 regular cooking grates, a wok & the raised grid from CGS...I use them all.

It makes a big difference. It will get to temp a lot faster than the stock one. I have one for my large and small and can't recommend them enough. It is great for low and slow also.
A lot of small BGE owners got it. I know many of us sent emails to High Que begging them to make it for our small BGE's. They use to only make them for the large.

I love my small. I bought the plate setter and cast iron grate from BGE. I also bought a couple of Weber steel grates (13 and 10 inch) and some 1" copper tubing from Home Depot. I usually use the cast iron grate, but occasionally stack 1 or 2 of the other grates on top of the CI grate with the copper tubing as spacers if I need more cooking space.
I also purchased the BGE stone but have only used it once. I used to use my wife's pampered chef stone but she wasn't too happy with the way it looked after I used it on an indirect cook, so I thought I'd get my own.
I also bought I couple of Lodge CI pieces that I use periodically. I found a CI fajita pan that cost about $8 that fits perfectly on the fire ring and have used that for indirect cooks and an inverted lid from a 5qt CI dutch oven fits perfectly in the plate setter as a drop pan.
I would cook with it for a while before you buy too much. But a great thing about the small is all the non-BGE accessories that you can buy that are very inexpensive.

I have a platesetter and a Woo & 10" baking stone from the Ceramic Grill store. If I could buy my accessories over again I would not buy the platesetter as the Woo & stone works just as well and allows for raised direct cooking. I'm pretty happy with the Hi-Que grate but it does allow a lot small bits of lump to fall through.XL, Large, Small, Mini Eggs, Shirley Fabrication 24x36 Patio, Humphrey's Weekender, Karubecue C-60, MAK 1-Star General, Hasty Bake Gourmet, Santa Maria Grill, Webers: 14" WSM, 22.5" OTG, 22.5" Kettle Premium, WGA Charcoal, Summit S-620 NG

Thanks for the info. I think I will order the Woo and stones from Tom. I do like the plate setter on my XL, but want to try something different as well.R2Egg2Q said:I have a platesetter and a Woo & 10" baking stone from the Ceramic Grill store.

Have the same set up minus the plate setter. Love it...comes to temp quickly and the woo is excellent.
You will love the small....done plenty on it. 10 # turkey and pork shoulder, 2 racks of ribs, spatchcock chicken. Have fun!!!
Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ.... -
I'm really excited. It will be nice on its own and also while using the XL. Can't wait to pick up my babycazzy said:I have a platesetter and a Woo & 10" baking stone from the Ceramic Grill store.

You are going to want the hi que. it made a huge difference for me when using the small. The stock grate's holes are just too small.XL,L,SWinston-Salem, NC

He will find out. Should be a requirement for a small. It makes that much difference especially from those of us who used both. -
Ok, I will order the Hi-Que as well. Thanks all.XL BGE - Small BGE - A few Komodo Kamado Serious Big Bad 42sFollow me on Instagram: @SSgt93

High que is a must. Have the plate setter and woo and cast iron grate as well. The woo is also a must in my opinion the diameter is much smaller so when there are 6 burgers on it its hard to flip them below the felt line. Get the high que, woo, and anything you can sit on the lower part of the woo to make it indirect. You don't have to get a stone if you aren't going to make pizzas on the small just go to WalMart and get one of the metal pizza trays like 11" for $5.

Sgt, I have a small, a woo and a plate setter. 99% of the time I use the Woo , if I want indirect I place a small foil wrapped pizza stone on woo's bottom rack.My plate setter only work on the small with the feet down. If use with feet up it is so tight around the fire ring it prevent good air flow and kills the fire. I have met a couple of other small owner with the same problem. I have a CI grate that I use quite a bit. I alternate between the high que and the original fire grate. I bought a CI frying pan and cut off the handle...works perfect for migas.The small is very responsive to temp change and will hold temps for hours without a problem.PS you will love the CARTen. We purchased one for the mini.If you have a restaurant supply store you will find a wealth of goodies that will work well on the small.Large, small and mini now Egging in Rowlett Tx

OK, so far I ordered the Woo, stone and stainless drip pan from Tom.XL BGE - Small BGE - A few Komodo Kamado Serious Big Bad 42sFollow me on Instagram: @SSgt93

Sgt93 said:OK, so far I ordered the Woo, stone and stainless drip pan from Tom.
I have those + a High-Que grate for mine as well. I've also finagled a small 10x10" wire grid to use over the foil-wrapped pan in the bottom to do an indirect, double decker cook on chicken drumsticks. I can get about 14 in it this way.
There's no room for the stone - just make sure to get a bit of air between the foil and the stainless pan so the drippings don't burn and give your food an off taste.

+1 on the High-Que being a must on the small. I have a small with a plate setter, high-que, stock grate, and another 13" grate that I have installed 2" stands on to use for raised direct or a second indirect grate. I also have a 12" pizza stone. The small is great. Fast to get to temp, can cook everything a large can (just smaller amounts), and uses WAY less lump.When my 22" Webber bites the dust I will look into a large or XL as a replacement for larger cooking needs, but I use my SBGE way more than my Webber at this time. Perfect for a family of 4 or less for cooking main dishes.Love smoking chicken...but they are hard to keep lit ;-) http://daveyrayland.wordpress.com/ Small Egg / Weber OTG 22" / CharGriller Trio / Masterbuilt 30" Electric
