New fire ring height?

A good buddy and fellow egghead  was at the local Ace the other day grabbing some coal and noticed a medium for sale for a good price. He opened it up and noticed the cooking grate was already at the felt and looked like it didn’t not have an expander to lift it there. Are the new eggs coming with taller fire rings? Is the felt the new stock cooking height?

    Have not heard, maybe the packaging to protect the insides lifted the grate.  Just a guess of course.

    I wouldn't imagine so. BGE ripoff adjustable rig probably wouldn't work at the felt line.

    If it had the plate setter installed the grid would be close to felt line

    My buddy said he didn’t see the plate setter in there but I bet it was like somebody else said - firebox still packaged raising it up.

    Does BGE make set up for the Medium?

    I'm not sure. An easy check would be to see if the Ceramic Grill Store does. If they do BGE does.  ;)
