I have the large egg and looking for ways to get my grid higher when cooking direct?
Comments

Using firebricks is one way of raising the grate a little higher.
-
This is a pretty cheap and easy way.
another way is to use fire bricks on a lower grid and another grid on top of the bricks. -
Firebricks laid on their side supporting the grate above? Just a thought.

I did the same thing Adam (Ripnem) did.
One other choice is to go shopping at the ceramicgrillstore.com. Tom has some great choices on his site. -
The cheapest and easiest way is to use less lump in the firebox. You achieve the same thing, which is to create distance between the lump and the food.
Of course, there are some aftermarket products that are very nice to have (such as the adjustable rig or the BGE extended grid), but in a pinch use less lump. -
I made three of these.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Michael,

Michael, how did you make those extenders?

Thanks Guys!

I just got a second fire ring. Raises the grid flush with the bottom half of the egg, makes getting burgers off with a spatula much easier and helps prevent burning and over cooking. Good Luck
