Adjustable Rig & Oval Grid

I bought one oval for each level other than tht top level. Make sure you buy cross bar for each extra level you order.

I quite often use the top plus 1 level sometimes for food and sometimes for a drip pan.

they actually sit on the "rods".... now. they don't move very much on mine... buy them you will not regret it

If you plan to build the sliding system, you need the ovals. (I went with the ovals). They are perfect with the bars, with or without sliders. I build most of my cooks on a ceramic table next to the BGE, so once I set my spider and stone on the fire and close the dome my setup of the AR for starting the cook is on the table.
With the AR on the "hot table", I set the crossbars where I want them, slide in the racks with the food for each level where I want them. (Butts over Ribs, Corn over Chicken, etc). I pick uf the AR with the cook on it and drop it "on the fire".

You can get full circle grids from Egg Accesories that can be used on all levels of the adjustable, but, you HAVE to take off every level above the one you want to get to the one you want.

Even without the Sliding feature installed, the Oval Grids are helpful when changing out food.

My method (wearing gloves) is to pull the entire AR with meat, drip pans, etc. and put it on the "hot table" and close the dome (so the fire doesn't run away).
I can then pull what I want, re-configure what I want, sauce what I want and then open the dome and drop the AR with the entire cook back into the egg. With the ovals and sliding grid system I can pull the top levels without even pulling the AR. Too cool for words.

Note that the spider with the pizza stone is sitting under the cook while I am doing all this. So I can actually set 4 working levels with the extender (I regularly use three).

Thanks to the folks at EggAccesories for making stuff that really works. rc
