I have a large Egg that I purchased in June . Previously cooked on an Cabella offset ,Masterbuilt electric digital smoker ,Weber Genesis and Chargriller Acorn . I love the Acorn which is also a Kamado but I always wanted to go ceramic . Living alone and having a girlfriend that comes by occasionally during the week and is here on the weekends I don't have much need for something to cook for a crowd .Never and I mean never is there more than two people being cooked for around here. So when I was looking at the really cool accessories for the Egg I saw all kinds of stuff and much of it was to increase the amount you can cook ,not for me . What I have first of all is my Auber which I have from the Acorn with a 6.5 fan which is the same as the Egg. Then seeing all the good things talked about on this forum and others from the Ceramic Grill store I bought a Woo2 ,a spider and the Graycort cast iron grate . All I can say is that if a person is usually cooking small this is the perfect set up . Did my first raised direct and sear last night with a NY strip which came out perfect . Did a chicken this afternoon raised direct ,perfect . The way you can slide the platesetter into the woo is extremely helpful . Yeah I know this stuff has been talked about a lot but if someone is new to the Egg and is contemplating adding to it's capabilities this should be considered big time .I looked at the Adjustable rig and almost pulled the trigger but a few people on this forum talked about the flexibility of Woo,spider and Cast iron setup. Glad I saw that .
Real good advise coming from this forum . Thanks Guys .

Welcome ,
There are so many things you can do on the egg. Made my first pizza last night. Since you have a spider you might consider a Wok from CGS. I have had one for some time but was packed and i finally got it out. Im going to season it tomorrow and do a stir fry.
I also have a adjustable rig and i love it , do my spatchcock chickens on it frequently
You can get a stone to use with your spider also for indirect also

@sctdg
Only other thing you might look at is a small grid to sit on spider for searing close to the coals.

Biggreenpharmacist I saw that grill at Lowes .Did not buy it because I thought it might have been too small .The Graycort grill is nice but I'm not crazy about how it splits in half .
To answer the question where I'm from ,that would be N.J.
I would post pictures but for some reason when I go to attach a photo it comes out so small that you could hardly see it .
And for those that got lost on my post . Hows this ? I HAVE A BIG GREEN EGG. IT IS A GOOD GRILL .
I spent a year having people following me when I was walking point with my dog in the 60's ,they never had a problem!!
