I'm considering getting a 15" stone for my large to increase the heat deflection area.  Anyone know if it will work with the spider?  Anyone have an opinion?

I use a Flame Boss for long cooks, so I don't worry too much about decreased air flow.

    I believe that the new "Conveggtor" is about that same size. The older ones are around 13".
    Personally I like to use the R&B Stone, 13x17 Oval Ceramic Stone, from the Ceramic Grill Store and my PSWoo.
    It provides for stone coverage all the way across the Large Egg so the ends of ribs or briskets don't get over cooked early on in the cook.

    you will need to flip the spider upsidedown to raise it over the fire ring, 15 inches is pretty close to the firering inside dimension. i think my stone is 15.5 inches

    Thanks for the thoughts!  Didn't think about possibly needing to flip the spider.  The oval is a thought.

    I was planning on getting the double half moons for max flexibility.

    Not sure about the spider application but I have had a 15 CGS stone for about a year and a half that we have used for pizzas, calzones, pretzels etc... I have been really happy with the product.
