Flashback Bob, I make the spider for the large, as it has accessories that can be used on the spider. Have you tried the medium bge cast iron grid for searing. T

Broc, just across the Mighty Mo from Omaha, I made the spider for my medium. Only problem, can't find any accessories to use with it, as the inside diameter of the fire ring is approx. 12 inches. Any ideas. T

bbqjunkie, here are a couple pics of the xlwoo set up. The ring raises the grid approx. 2.75 inches. That is as high as you can go and still use the xl grid.

The pan holder drops down just over 2 inches. The xl pizza stone is too big to fit on the pan holder, i.e. that's why I call it a pan holder, LOL! I can order round pizza pans up to 20 inches in diameter. I think 18 would be preferred.

The only real update on the set-up is now I add feet to the lower ring. The feet hold the xlwoo on top of the fire ring for better stability.

I've looked at several options to add an upper grid to this set up. Haven't really found one that works given the dome's shape and/or doesn't get in the way of the lower grid action. It's easy to add a smaller grid for raised grid cooking (one grid) but to me that seems somewhat defeating: why buy an xl only to use a smaller grid.

If there is enough interest, I can approach a couple fabricators for a quantity run, similar to the stainless grid thing. I'd rather do a small production run than make them. It's easier for me (they are time consuming to make) and the end product would be more consistent.

I don't own an xl, so not sure how productive this set-up is.

tjv, that's exactly what I need. Please tell me where can I buy one. That rig would solve the problem of having the plate setter too close to the coles or the problem of a brisquet drying out because of the plate setter being too close to the cooking grate. It would also solve the problem of having to removed the fire ring every time you change from indirect to direct cooking without causing damaged to the HOT fire ring. My plate setter already crack once while in used and I think the reason was it being to close to the coles. Please make this happen for the XL egg crowd. Thank you.
