KJ Accessories that fit/don't fit the Egg

For any potential black Friday/holiday deals I did an updated what KJ accessories work or don't work for Eggs video yesterday - https://youtu.be/PiQ4jtJH4js 

Here is a TLDR text summary if you'd rather not watch a video and see stuff in action ...

Fits/Good idea
- JoeTisserie 
- Soapstone
- Cookware (BGE wok can be used with dome closed) 

Interchangeable 
- Rack systems (KJ cheaper, BGE sliding top rack/lift out handles) 
- Half moon cooking grids 

Not a great idea/doesn't fit
- Carbon steel griddle (sits on fire ring, low for reach) 
- SloRoller (max temp lowered)
- Kontrol tower top (different diameter and can't be reseasoned) 
- DoJoe, get BGE wedges instead

    Yes - that is a very helpful video. I do have one quick question though...what brand of hi-temp gloves is he using? They seem to be far thinner than most such gloves and therefore more nimble.

    I have Amazon ones called JH Safety long sleeve high heat gloves and the ones from Meater. Both hold up with hot deflectors. Any other gloves weren’t high heat… breaking the over the top chili was just cotton oven gloves with nitrile over them for food handling

    The ones handling the brisket were nitrile with cotton underneath for some heat protecition

    The mechanic gloves for cold charcoal, grill moving around etc. are not heat safe 

    The high heat gloves mentioned about where in the shots of flambeing a steak with bourbon and a few other shots
