Oh, and you'll have to get a pizza stone for the lower grid as a heat deflector.

I made this...used a Weber grid from Lowes. I would use stainless though.Green egg, dead animal and alcohol. The "Boro".. TN

Raised direct usually uses the bolt/nut/washer technique. Raised indirect uses a setter or adjustable rig.Given the cost of a good pizza stone, I'd hate to use it as a heat deflector - that's why the setter or AR is the preferred option. I did use my CI grid on the fire ring with 12" pizza pan wrapped in foil as the deflector and my SS grid bolted and nutted as the felt line grid - just bought a setter - much better.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

Thanks! I worded it wrong and meant raised direct. I've tried a few things, but stability was an issue. I like your rig, and will try that.Geaux Tigers!! West Monroe, Louisiana

I had a couple of flat rib racks laying around so I bought the webber grid at lowes and just set it on top of the rib racks which are on top of the original Egg grid. It works great but obviously it wouldn't work as a second simultaneous cooking space.

... I am confused.....
I used a platesetter sitting on the top ring of the egg for ever, then used the bolt/nut/washer set up to raise it to indirect raised.... why do you need a grill below??
-
I have this bad boy. I bought it off Amazon for my MBGE. It doesn't quite fit on the original grid as it scrapes the sides so it leaves a 1-inch gap between the dome and base. I use it for raised direct and I can flip it upside-down for searing next to the coals. It comes in larger sizes and I don't think they cause issues like mine.

The setter will give you a raised indirect.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad! -
What is that called Eggcelsior?Geaux Tigers!! West Monroe, Louisiana

Like @Eggcelsior I use the Grill Dome extender as well. Picked mine up for $14.99 on sale at a local BBQ store when they had post Xmas 50% off. They did not have the larger one.This lets me low and slow a steak in a raised indirect cook. Put the meat over the stone. When up to desired internal, wrap the meat and pull out the extender. Raise the egg to after-burn and now I can sear on the lower CI grid already in the egg. The deflector is an old 15" stone that was too big for my MBGE, so I cut it in half, notched it - instant half moon deflector. This work very well for the two of us.Previously I did this using my SS grid with bolts and nuts rather than the Grill Dome extender. I'm lazy, this is easier and the SS grid is available to be used without the bolts and nuts.The Grill Dome will sit on the fire ring directly for raised direct cooks - it is a tad too small, but then for two of us is OK.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

Or use some empty beer cans OU can get raised direct or indirect and you get beer. I call this a win win

Do you season your nuts before you put them into action?

Me too but it's gonna be hard.

Washers, nuts and bolts are cheap and they will do the job just as well. I like creative thinking, it saves time and money. Something all Americans should begin to learn because the cost of our freedom will continue to rise faster than our paychecks.Simple ingredients, amazing results!

I have a large BGE and the grill dome extender works for me. I got mine on eBay for about $18, shipping included.
