Know before you buy
This 8.75-inch half grid is designed specifically for the Large Big Green Egg. It is intended to be used alongside other half-grid accessories to create custom cooking zones.
Because this grid is made of raw cast iron and is not rust-resistant, you must season it with oil before and after use. Always hand-wash the grid, dry it thoroughly immediately after cleaning, and apply a light coat of oil to protect the metal from moisture.
Yes, this grid is compatible with both roasting and smoking methods. Its primary benefit is heat retention, which helps maintain consistent temperatures when you are cooking larger cuts of meat over longer periods.
No, this grid is not dishwasher safe. The harsh detergents and moisture in a dishwasher will strip the seasoning and cause the cast iron to rust quickly.
A half grid provides the flexibility to create different cooking zones within your grill. You can sear a steak on the cast iron side while roasting vegetables or smoking a smaller item on the other side of the grill.
