Thought I'd share my set-up for raised direct cooking on my Egg, I use it for 90% of my high heat cooks, it works really well and since I started using it I haven't had a failed cook, everything just comes out perfect! Essentially it's my own version of the Kamado Joe cook set-up, however I'd made it before they started selling it, may have bought one of theirs but doubt it would be made from the same gauge steel
Base set-up with standard firebox and fire ring, filled with BigK lump and three Flamers firelighters
Lit and ready to set-up with my sear ring in place (I use this for super high heat cooks after time in the sous vide)
BGE Half Moon stone placed on top of sear ring, creates a two zone cook area
Lift ring to get the grid to the felt line
Cast Iron grate in place and ready to start heating up
Luckily for me someone I know made these up for me from AutoCAD Inventor drawings, by far one of the best parts about my Egg, most will wonder why you need this but believe me it's THE way to grill on the Egg, a quick look on the EggHead forum will confirm that it's now the standard approach.
