How to Use the ConvEGGtor

What is the convEGGtor?

The convEGGtor is the staple accessory for Big Green Egg owners. If you own only one accessory – this should be the one. The convEGGtor turns your Egg into an outdoor convection oven, enabling indirect cooking, smoking, roasting and baking.

Adding your ConvEGGtor

Once your Egg has heated up, add your convEGGtor by placing it onto the Fire Ring. Legs up or legs down, depending on what the recipe requires. You may notice a drop in temperature, but that's just because the convEGGtor is cold. The temperature will come back up again.

Control & Versatility

By directing heat, the convEGGtor gives you the accuracy of a kitchen oven — whether you are cooking a brisket at 250F or a pizza at 600˚F. Once you've mastered temperature control on the Egg, you may find that your indoor oven starts gathering dust.

Moving the ConvEGGtor

convEGGtors can be a little tricky to get in and out, especially when they are hot. The Large and XL convEGGtors are also quite heavy, so it's worth investing in a convEGGtor basket, which makes lifting them in and out of your Egg much simpler. For added safety, make sure to wear EGG mitt heat-resistant gloves – they’ll give you the protection and confidence to handle your convEGGtor safely, even at high temperatures.
