A.R. Slide Guide

Duuane · May 2015

Good Afternoon Everyone...As I type this, I have two racks of ribs on my large egg. Because of the frustration with getting the two racks to fit on the original grate and the cheap folding leg, folding grate second level, I have decided to buy an A.R. I saw a video demonstration of the AR using the oval grate on the slide guide and it looked like it was the way to go. When reading the reviews for the AR customer combo, and the R&B oval, people spoke of several reasons why they liked whichever one they chose, but nobody seemed to comment on the ability to slide the top oval out of the way to access the lower rack. Is the slider not as good of an idea as it seems to me that it is? .......Thanks for the input

I have been researching this for a year or longer and I just don't know what to get that is best for me. I called CGS and talked to them and although they were very helpful when they started talking extenders and slide guides and crossbars it lost me. I am going to watch this and hopefully you will get some good feedback. Also I just talked to them last week and they said they will be having a price increase in the next couple of weeks.

I hope we get the info....at one point I was real confused...now I'm just a little confused. When people talk about the variations of products and the uses, they lose me. I'm not a guy who can visualize a description, I need to see the real thing....oh, thanks for the heads up on the price thing, I will be ordering something within two days.

I just bought everything. Two oval grids, a d grid, round and oval stones, 14 and 16 drip pad, two slides, extender. Now i can make any of the combos.

I think slide guide that comes standard is fine. One additional on the bottom tier if you do a 3 level cook, you have to pull the whole rig out so slide guide or just crossbar on the bottom is fine. I currently only have one slide guide, don't feel like I missing anything. Good gloves are key to rack swapping if needed.

I think I need R&B combo, extender, and don't know if I need a d-grid with extender or oval grid and they have a special price for d-grid but not oval as an extender package don't know if I need more slide guides and crossbars or not.

I use the d-grid with the extender also use 2 oval grids with slide guides.

I have a round grid, an oval grid and slide, and the extender and D-grid. I use a spider with a round stone for my deflector, because the oval stone takes a level on the AR. If I'm doing ribs, I just use foil to shield the exposed ends of the ribs. It all works great.

You're only going to be able to slide the oval grids on the top two levels (because they are higher than the gasket). The sliding is useful, but not absolutely necessary.
