I got my adjustable rig combo and woo2 in today. It's going to be fun to cook on. Also got the 16" wok. Wanted to try some stir fry. Anybody have any pointers on setups and cool thing so do? I would have put picture on but my egg is frozen shut. Pictures will definitely be following once I get cooking!

    I got mine a few months ago and I love it. It is so versatile. My tip is to think about your cook and which set up is best. You also do want to move cross bars and grate settings while they are hot. You can, its just easier while they are cool.

    I'm assuming you got the spider to use with the wok? No matter what you got makes the egg so more versatile.

    I got the woo. They told me on the phone the woo was more versatile and the wok works with it.

    Get the Rig extender with the sliding rack, you won't be sorry. It gives just a little bit more room and the sliding grid makes getting to the middle very easy.

    @Mickey - did you have to swap the top and bottom racks during the cook?

    I thought no on such a short cook but I did only top to bottom at one hour. Talked to Tom on Monday to see if needed to do and next time will do the top to bottom as well as change frt to back per Tom.

    @Mickey what is the advantage of using the spider with the AR? I have an AR for my large and have been contemplating getting the spider. Does it give you more cooking room of just raise the rig up a little further?

    Nothing to do with the rig. It has a low and flip it over a high height. Both used as a place to put stones for indirect cooks or grates for cooking very hot and fast ( thinking about 1100 at the lump ). Or put your cast iron pan and put the very best seer ever on a steak. Also by putting your stone on the spider it gets to where you can use three levels to cook with your AR.

    I look forward to seeing the pictures of how you set up the rig and woo.  Alongside the wok.   I've got woo and was thinking of getting the rig but have not done so.  I just wonder about the fit inside the dome with the rig and woo. 

    I bought the woo because I need not to lift out the grill and plate setter when I need to add more lump into the fire when need be.

    You apologized for hijacking the thread. Don't do that or the rest of us low rent people will feel bad.
