The System
The GrateMates system for the small Big Green Egg cooker comes in two flavors, basic and deluxe. The basic system contains a set of short supports and the support ring which allow you to have an indirect barrier and the grid at a raised height. The deluxe system comes with an extra set of longer supports which allows you to have a raise grate at a higher level, but more importantly to have a pizza stone at a good working level. Here are some photos of the GrateMates system components. Note that in each photograph, the supports are shown upside down because that is the only way we could get them to stand up for the photographer!
You will also note that there are 3 supports of each size, not 4. First of all, these supports are far stronger than they need to be, so 4 supports would be over-overkill. And of course, those of you who studied geometry will know that three supports means three points supporting the grid or the pizza stone. Three points define a plane, which means that three supports guarantees no wobble!
Features
The GrateMates system can be used to fill the following needs:
- Holds a barrier for indirect cooking
- Allows use of a raised grid in either of two heights
- Allows use of different types of accessories such as a 12" pizza stone, 12" wok, vertical roaster and dutch oven.
