Know before you buy
The ConvEGGtor acts as a heat shield that blocks direct flames, turning your Big Green Egg into an outdoor convection oven. This allows you to roast, bake, or smoke food without the risk of burning the bottom of your dish.
No, this specific model is designed exclusively for the Large and XLarge Big Green Egg models. Please check your EGG size before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.
The ConvEGGtor is intended for indirect cooking, such as slow-smoking or baking. For searing steaks, you should remove the plate to allow direct heat from the charcoal to reach your food.
The plate is not dishwasher safe and should be cleaned by hand. Because it is made of ceramic, it is best to let it cool completely before wiping it down with a damp cloth; avoid using harsh soaps or soaking it.
The ConvEGGtor sits directly on the fire ring inside your EGG. You will simply place your cooking grid on top of the ConvEGGtor to create your indirect cooking surface.
