When picking up the XL, Ace put the new cast iron vent inside the grill from transport. When I got home and looked on here, it seems they may have left off the rain cap..oooooorrrrr...is this an additional purchase piece?

I wouldn't swear to it, but I think I remember BGE saying that it was an optional accessory when they previewed the product on facebook.XL & MM BGE, 36" Blackstone - Newport News, VA

https://biggreenegg.com/product/reggulator/The NEW Big Green Egg rEGGulator Vent Cap provides precise temperature control. It far surpasses other airflow controllers for accuracy and ease of use. The new patent-pending rEGGulator features an insulated adjustment tab for comfortable use. Works with the optional cast iron Rain Cap for all weather cooking.
...man, they sure like to nickle and dime their customers.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg. -

However i I have bought the new style cap for all of my eggs that it fits on. I have a smokeware cap and I much prefer it over the smokeware. The smokeware cap seems cheap by comparison, and the functionality of the new reggulator is just so easy to dial in. My biggest pet peeve with the smokeware is how it always got stuck in the cover when removing it.
I thought I would offer offer my perspective and a user of both for comparison. -

I have always been on the boat, never leave your cast iron in the rain. Even if you take it off and store it in the egg, I always believed the high humidity would eventually take its toll on the ventHave:
