I just got mine and truthfully have not used it as of yet. I bought because my plate setter has a crack about 3/4 of the way across and breaking is inevitable. I priced a new plate setter and it wasn't much more for the Woo2 AR Combo Rig. It also allowed me to discard a bunch of jerry rigged things in my storage box that I used for multi level cooking. All in all a good thing as raised direct, indirect and multi tier all in one package. I did opt for the 20" top grid also.A poor widows son.

I just got mine a few weeks back and I love it.
I bought the combo http://shop.ceramicgrillstore.com/xl-woo2-adjustable-rig-combo/
Really comes in handy for a lot of different things. You can use the Woo2 for dropping the grid down low for searing and wokking or raising it up to the felt line.
The AR is great for smoking because you can position your grid up so its in the middle of the egg, or any of the 5 positions. Also with not having to use the platesetter you can throw in some wood chunks whenever you want.
Makes it easy to do 2 or 3 tier cooking (for 3 tier you need to add an additional grate). Removing the entire adjustable rig is a breeze too if you need to switch up your configuration.
I am sure I am missing some things but you get the idea. I still have an occasionally use my platesetter as well, but I do like having all the options the AR and Woo provide. Also I wasn't sure if I needed all the stuff in the combo pack, but with the discounts you get I think the price actually works in your favor.XL, Medium BGE & Blackstone I XAR-Woo2 & Rig-BO I Flameboss 500St. Louis, MO -
@byrne092 so the woo2 is not attached to the ar? I couldn't tell. That's a big seller for the combo set than. I love my PS in my large but like the idea of using a round stone like you said above. Thanks._______________________________________________XLBGE

I have had the AR with the Woo 2 on my XL for a few months and really like it. I have one round grate (goes on top of the AR) and one oval grate that can go on top or slide in at various levels.
I didn't have a method to cook raised direct previously, so I needed it for that, and my BGE platesetter broke shortly after I got the AR, so now I use the Woo with a stone when I need to go indirect. As @byrne092 said, the Woo is also good to drop the grate low for searing. Did a ribeye reverse sear this week, and had the round grate getting hot on the Woo while the steak and veggies were cooking high in the dome, and then just had to pull off the AR, rest the steak briefly while cranking the temp, and then tossed the steak onto the grate set on the Woo for searing.
I've been able to cook two pizzas at a time, one on each grate, both raised above the felt line, which is really helpful. I will likely get a second oval grate at some point to expand flexibility. But it is one of my favorite Egg purchases, Wish I'd gotten it sooner.__________________________

Same here - XL with AR and Woo2. Use some combination of it on almost every cook, direct or indirect. Don't even use my platesetter anymore...Bay Area, CA XLBGE

The Woo2 and the AR are separate pieces and can be used independently or in combination depending on your needs for the cook.A poor widows son.

@MrCookingNurse, yes they are NOT attached and can be used separately. That is why I am looking at getting it. You can use the Woo2 to use with a wok or sear steaks, then add the AR and a stone to go indirect. It's cheaper if you by them together then a two different times. It's what I am asking for my birthday this year.MrCookingNurse said:@byrne092 so the woo2 is not attached to the ar? I couldn't tell. That's a big seller for the combo set than.
