5 Piece Expander Rack for Big Green Egg Medium - Versatile 3-Tier Kit

In this review the Burlygrill 5 Piece Expander Rack for Big Green Egg medium is examined for owners who want to increase capacity and cooking versatility. The bottom line: this replacement kit transforms a Medium Big Green Egg into a multi-level cooker that saves time by letting you grill more at once and switch between direct and indirect setups. It is particularly useful for cooks who need extra cooking surface without sacrificing accessibility, thanks to the raised sliding grid and configurable ConvEGGtor basket.

Key Features

• Three-Tier 5 Piece System: Combines a 2-piece multi-level rack, a ConvEGGtor basket and two half grids to create a complete cooking system for medium Eggs.
• Space Maximizer: Uses both vertical and horizontal space so you can cook more food at the same time and reduce batch cooking.
• Flexible Cooking Modes: Easily configured for multi-level direct and indirect cooking to handle a variety of recipes and heat profiles.
• Sliding Top Rack: Sliding and raised grid sits about 3.5in high to give easy access to food on the main grate without removing the entire rack.
• Stainless Steel Construction: 304 stainless steel parts provide durability and an easy-to-clean surface for repeated grilling sessions.

Who It's For

The kit is best for Medium Big Green Egg owners who want to expand capacity for weekend gatherings, multi-course cooks, or smokers that need separate heat zones. It suits backyard cooks who value build quality and the ability to switch from direct searing to indirect roasting without swapping large accessories.

It is less suitable for someone who only cooks single steaks or who prefers the simplicity of a single grate; if you rarely need extra capacity or never use indirect methods, the additional parts may be unnecessary.
