PS Woo Question
smokeyw
Posts: 367
I have seen some posts in here about how much people like their PS Woo from CGS. I know that it will allow you to raise the grid to felt level. My question is, if I already have the adjustable rig, will I also benefit from having the PS Woo? The AR will allow me to cook slightly above felt level and I already have the oval plate setter, rig extender, 2 oval grates, and the sliding D grate. I would buy the PS Woo as well if I knew I could do something with it I can't do with the AR. I am going to buy a Woo and plate setter for my MM as well as the wok.

Thanks SGH, I was just looking for a nudge to get me talked into it.

I have both the AR and the PS Woo2 CI. I bought my first Woo and liked it so much that I bought one for each egg. The thing I like is being able to lift out the grid, drip pan, and plate setter all at one time. That convenience is worth it to me alone. The AR gets used for brisket, smoking bacon, and large batches of wings. Nearly all my other cooks use the Woo.L x2, M, S, Mini and a Blackstone 36. She says I have enough now....eggAddict from MN!

You have to properly "accessorize". Besides, I'm already in the poor house

I have two large eggs ... one is equipped with a PSWoo and extension while the other is equipped with an AR and extension. The simplicity of the PSWoo wins the "which one should I cook on" well over 90% of the time. I've even used the oval stone and drip pan on the PSWoo rack to cook ribs. See first pic here:

If I could only have one set up; a spider and 13" CI grid, PSWoo, and extension with D-grid.

I have an XL with the Woo/AR. The Woo never leaves the Egg and the AR is used when needed. If you haven't bought yet it was a little cheaper to buy the combination and it saves on shipping later. If it is within budget buy both, you will not regret the purchase. I have a cook coming the end of this month for the neighbor boys' graduation and will be using my setup for a mega butt cook.A poor widows son.

I appreciate the thread, learning some new things on our products.
on pswoo availability, we are reworking the tooling fixture (jig) used to weld them together. So, will be a week or so before available.
just to clarify rig vs pswoo with a one grid cook, the rig is as simple to use as the pswoo. just drop either on the fire ring, add the bge stock grid on top and appropriate ceramic piece if bbqing.
I prefer the rig as the ceramic stone is above the fire ring for better airflow out of the fire ring. I can use different stone shapes depending on what's bbqing. Also, the grid is in dome for easier temperature control when grilling.
cool thing with both, rig and pswoo, is you can lift the entire set up out of the grill without taking anything apart. quick access to the lump.

The method I suggested above puts the stone kind of high, but for low to medium temp cooks it works like a charm.

I have the PSWoo2 and use it on almost all my cooks. So simple. It includes a spider, so it's perfect for reverse searing when you put a cast iron grate on the spider. Since the grid sits right at fire level, you can go almost immediately into the searing phase. That said, at some point I plan on getting the AR as well.

I appreciate all of the comments. It looks like the PSWOO will be beneficial even though I already have the AR with all of the accessories for that. I already knew I needed a WOO for my MM.
