Woo2 or Woo3 or no Woo?

Woo3, good quality and efficient in swapping PS in and out.
If you want to use a $1k BBQ w/some bricks instead of $60, go for it. But for a clean look , quality product its worth it.

AR is worth considering to.

I bought the XL Woo2 with the stone in lieu of the plate setter.  Provides indirect cooking with a stone, raised direct, and a lower level that I put my CI grid on for searing steaks and lamb chops.  I'd probably consider the Woo3 for a large, although buying the spider separate has appeal.

I have the Woo3. Works good for getting the hot plate setter out, provides a good raised grid and will hold my wok Hasn't been out of the egg since I bought it

I have the Woo3 and use it most of the time, with a plate setter it's a no brainer. That said, I also have the spider for searing and cooking on the wok.

And I still might get the AR due to peer pressure.

Since you mentioned a plate setter I'm assuming you mean the PS Woo2 or PS Woo3 and not the Woo3 (uses a ceramic stone instead of plate setter as a means for cooking indirect and doesn't have handles). CGS has a nice write up on the two models of the PS Woo at:http://www.ceramicgrillstore.com/large-woo-big-green-egg.html

Here's my thoughts on differences between the two models:
-PS Woo3: the attached ring at the bottom of it (for holding the stone or CI grid) gives a nice air gap of about 2" under the plate setter when you take it out & set it down when it's hot. Although you can wok on it it isn't recommended.
-PS Woo2: no lower ring attached so you need to buy a spider accessory if you want to set a stone or CI grid below the top of the fire ring. A little more cost buying the PS Woo2 & spider versus the PS Woo3 but having them separate gives you a little more flexibility in usage (IMO). Here's an example of a set up possible having separate pieces:

Spider, stone, drip pan, full size cooking grid, PS Woo2 on top of grid, and a butt.

SS grid on top of Woo and more meat:


I'm sure you can do a similar set up with a PS Woo3 but I'm pretty sure the grid on top of the drip pan would need to be a little smaller to fit within the circumference of the Woo.

If you really want more options in cooking heights and multi-grid cooking, I'd say go for an Adjustable Rig instead.

If you want to Wok, Tom suggested that I get PSWoo2 + Spider for my Large BGE and that is what I went with.
