XL Woo & Adjustable Rig Combo For XL Big Green EGG(Xl Woo Adjustable Rig Combo Big Green Egg)

Simply, the XL Rig, 18″ Stone, 18″ Drip Pan and 20 Grid is the best indirect (BBQ) set-up in the market today for kamado grills. Nothing matches it for convenience and performance. We’ll put the XL Rigs capability up against any rack system on the market.

The set-up yields better airflow, provides easy access to the lump and produces more consistent temperatures over the grid. What XL EGG owners love about this set-up is you don’t have to touch anything to manage fire or smoke.

Working the low and high grilling positions…….

Pop the 20″ Half Grid atop the Rig and you have a nice staging platform above the Woo, ConvEGGtor or XL grid. Slide the 18″ Half Stone in and out for more capability. Watch the quick video.

Go 3 Grids – 9 Racks of Ribs

“Show me a guy doing competition ribs in a veritical rib rack and I’ll show you the guy who will probably finish near the bottom.”

To go 3 grid levels, you need to add the 20″ Round Stainless grid and XL Slide Guide. It’s an option when picking the Combo above.  

• The 20″ Round Stainless Grid sits atop the Rig. The 20″ Grid can also be used as a searing grid on the XL Woo’s lower ring.
• XL Slide Guide makes it easy to slide the 16″x20″ Oval Grid in/out of the Rig.

Pictured: That’s 8 or 9 racks of babyback or St. Loius style ribs. Note, the XL EGG grid sitting atop the Woo (bottom grid) is not included. The XL grid came with your EGG. The convEGGtor can replace the XL Woo and 18″ Stone in the 3 grid cook.

Managing the lump for optimum effeciency.

The Ang-L Brackets shape the lump for small or specialized grilling cooks. Perfect way to shrink the XL EGG for small cooks. We prefer the flexibility with the Ang-L Brackets over our Lump Reducing Rings.

The Brackets create a wall opposite the fire box. So, when you add lump, it’s consistantly the same depth. Consistant lump = consistant burn = consistant temperatures across the cooking grid.

The Ang-L Brackets let you create two zone grilling. You have options on how to partion the two zones. Check the drippings in the foil under the chicken in the picture below. With most grills, the drippings would burn off.    

The Ang-L Brackets are fabricated using 14 gauge Stainless Steel. Built to last by Ceramic Grill Store.

Sold as a pair.

Other popular XL accessories to expand your talents…….

18″ Drip Stainless Drip Pan matches nicely with our 18″ Round Ceramic Stone. Foil the Pan for easy clean up. Use a pan to keep moisture out of the Stone. Pan keeps the grill clean for the next cook.

If you have young kids or tend to misplace things, get an extra set of Crossbars. We know this one from experience!

We’ve owned an XL for years and designed the Lump Rake to help control hot and cold spots. We light the lump in multiple spots, let it burn in and then use the Rake to remix the lump. Give it 5 minutes and you’ll have a nice even fire, ready for grilling. We use the Lump Rake on just about every grilling cook.

If your XL Big Green EGG is new or only a couple years old, you can skip this part.

From 2008 to 2012, the XL EGG went through several improvements. If your grill is older, we recommend you take the measurements outlined below to confirm capabilities.

XL Woo Ring: To make sure the XL Woo Ring fits, measure from the top of the fire ring to the felt line. The measurement needs to be approximately 3″. See picture below left.

XL Adjustable Rig: For the XL Adjustable Rig to work in tandem with the XL Woo or EGG ConvEGGtor, the measurement from grid to daisy wheel needs to be at least 16″. Follow the three steps and see picture below right.

• set the XL Big Green EGG cooking grid on the fire ring and close the dome;
• slide a tape through the daisy wheel until it hits the grid;
• take the measurement at the daisy wheel. It needs to be approximately 16″.

Add a wok to the XL Woo. Wokking is a fun alternative cook. Can be healthier cook too. Our 16″ wok fit the XL Woo. Don’t forget the accessories.
