gotcha.. I don't think I can shell out that much $$ for something to smoke wood on. It deff looks cool though

You never know, Matt might pull a hat trick and get the prices down. But I would rather pay a little more once and have it last for many years.
I think both unit are a little to tall and I would like a little more gap between the trip pan and cooking grate.

Good idea regardless. Lot of good ideas just aren't viable. I like this one. Hard sell at $150+

Doesn't Big Green Egg sell stacked grates?

They did make a 3 tier spinning set up. Not sure if they still do. It was expensive and honestly not very ergonomic to use and clean. Kind of looked like a spinning serving deal for snacks.

It has a center mast design. Works ok as a two tier rig, just ok, Not very handy as a three tier unless doing jerky or something.

Can the stacker be used to elevate the BGE pizza stone or is that top grate too small for that? Or does that bracket get in the way of the stone? I have a large BGE

Ozzie_Isaac · February 2017

It will hold it fine. Might want to center the top grate more than mine. I keep it in the far side.

Outdoorsman66 · February 2017

Thanks. I see you have the ceramic spacers there too. If you have those on end do they support the stone or do they tip over when you take the pizza off the stone?

are they tall enough to elevate the stone higher than the felt line?

Those spacers are for a different cook and are just resting there. I have a Woo to raise the main grid to felt level, then the stacker to raise top level into the dome.

The stacker does not need extra support, especially with only a pizza stone and pizza. I have used a chicken in a DO with no issues before.

Oh I meant using the spacers on the grate and stone on top of them. Have you ever used them for that? Cheaper solution

Yup, that is how I do it on my medium. Works like a champ.

Outdoorsman66 · February 2017

Do you stand them on end? And they don't tip when you use the peel to remove the pizza ?

I leave them on their side, but use a stone, spacers, drip tray under the main grate. Then spacers then pizza stone.

Outdoorsman66 · February 2017

Drip tray for pizza? Maybe I missed something there. So the way I'm envisioning is: platesetter legs up, cooking grate on that, spacers and then stone on spacers. Would that work?

He has things in his egg now just stored and in the photo showing the pizza stone

Yes, that would work fine. In my medium the drip tray is wider than my stone by a good bit. I use it to deflect direct radiant heat. No other reason.

@Photo Egg is right, I store most my cooking stuff in my eggs. No outdoor storage at the moment.

Outdoorsman66 · February 2017

Thanks. I think I'll try the ceramic spacers to lift it up a little bit above the felt line

A lot of great discussion, but gotta ask............how important would this item be if you have an AR?

Outdoorsman66 · February 2017

What is an AR?

Late to the party brother.

Civilian version of an M-16, minus the 3 round burst.

My AR meets that burst rate, on a slow day.

The AR has the upper hand over the swing grate IMO. But it is a cheaper way to add a second level. The AR has much more versatility.

Outdoorsman66 · February 2017

Funny. I know what an AR weapon is but what is an AR for an Egg

Ima_good_egg · February 2017

Adjustable rig by cgs. It adds a second level of cooking.

@Outdoorsman66 (AR - Adjustable Rig) It's a multi level grid setup. It's sold through the Ceramic Grill Store. The owner is an egger and memeber here on the forum.
