FAQ

What is the Dual Zoneâ„¢ Deflector Kit?

The Dual Zone™ Deflector Kit is a cooking system that allows you to create direct, indirect, dual-zone, and multi-zone cooking setups on your Big Green Egg®.

How is this different from the convEGGtor?

The convEGGtor provides full indirect heat only. The Dual Zoneâ„¢ Deflector Kit gives you the option to cook with direct heat, indirect heat, or both at the same time. Integrated basket handles also make it easier to handle during a cook.

Can I still cook low and slow?

Yes. Installing both Split Deflectors creates a full indirect setup for smoking, roasting, and low-and-slow barbecue.

Can I use just one Split Heat Deflector?

Yes. A single Split Heat Deflector creates separate direct and indirect cooking zones at the same time.

Where does the kit sit inside the Egg?

The Dual Zoneâ„¢ Deflector Basket sits directly on the Fire Ring. Cooking grids and accessories rest in the basket, above the fire ring.

Can I adjust the setup during a cook?

Yes. The basket's integrated handles allow you to lift or reposition during a cook. Always use heat-resistant gloves when handling hot components.

Does it work with other Big Green Egg accessories?

Yes. The Dual Zoneâ„¢ Deflector Kit is compatible with Dual Zone Cooking Grids and select EGGspander accessories, including the 2-Piece Multi-Level Rack, Half-Moon Cast Iron Plancha, Perforated Grid, and Cast Iron Grid. Some accessories are available for Large and XL only.

Will this fit my Big Green Egg?

The Dual Zoneâ„¢ Deflector Kit is available for Medium, Large, and XL Big Green Egg models.

Is this meant to replace the convEGGtor?

Not necessarily. The convEGGtor remains a reliable option for full indirect cooking. The Dual Zoneâ„¢ Deflector Kit is designed for cooks who want to explore direct, indirect, and multi-zone cooking options on their Egg.
