The dealer I'm buying my Egg from also sells Broil King Kegs & accessories. They make a really nice cast iron grate with a removable / swing out rack that will fit the large egg that he is high on.

I was going to get the BGE Grill Grates and then someone recommended the GrillGrate (http://www.mygrillgrate.com/GrillGrates_for_The_Big_Green_Egg_Large_Kamado_Joe_p/rbgel.htm).It all depends on what you need it for. If searing & grill marks are what you need it for, the GrillGrate will work perfect. The flare ups are minimal and it is virtually maintenance free.LBGE & MiniOrlando, FL

I have the bge CI grids for my eggs, and the bubba keg that came with the rack you described. It's a cool system. I would say if the price is the same, get the one for the broil king keg. http://www.amazon.com/Broil-King-KA5545-Premium-Cooking/dp/B007760THO/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1405868804&sr=8-17&keywords=Broil+king+keg -
I like the craycort cast iron grids. it's nice to be able to remove a section to add charcoal or wood. i've noticed thay they require a little more attention to prevent surface rust than the BGE cast iron grates do.

After the man grate debacle I never wanted to admit how much I like this thing.

You should check our Ceramic Grillworks. 2 Tier System. That thing seasons and sears just like cast iron. Plus a second tier is pretty nice when you are on a smaller Egg.

I have a small BGE CI grate. I use it on the small egg and also on the large egg with a spider to sear steaks. I sold my lge CI grate to get the small CI grate

I ordered 2 of these. $31 each shipped. Have not cooked with it yet but they look and feel 100% the same as the BGE brand and half the cost....Thank you,DarianGalveston Texas

@ badinfluence do you have 2 swing racks or 2 ar racks.....there's a big difference?? I'm curious as which one your claiming as being over priced?? Ceramic Grill Store has the AR which is what you admitted to having.....I'm Ceramic Grillworks.

@CGW1 I have 2 AR racks from Ceramic grill store. Don't get me wrong they are build good I just did not see the value of it so far.
