Know before you buy
No, this grid is specifically engineered for the XL Big Green Egg. Its 24-inch diameter is sized to fit the XL model's fire ring perfectly and will not fit smaller or larger sizes.
No, this grid is not dishwasher safe. We recommend cleaning it by hand with a grill brush or a non-abrasive scouring pad while the grid is still slightly warm to remove residue.
This grid does not feature a non-stick coating. Because it is made from heavy-gauge stainless steel, we recommend lightly oiling the surface before placing food on it to prevent sticking.
Stainless steel is highly rust-resistant and requires less maintenance than cast iron, as it does not need to be seasoned. While it doesn't retain heat quite as long as cast iron, it offers excellent durability and a consistent, even cooking surface for daily use.
No, this specific model does not include handles. It is designed to sit flush within the XL Big Green Egg, so you will need to use a grill gripper or heat-resistant gloves to safely lift it out when hot.
