Quick Light™ Kit XL & 2XL

$249.99
SKU: 138453

Description

Our Quick Light™ charcoal grate and starter tool give you a better way to start the fire. Whether you're a seasoned grill master or new to cooking on the Egg, the Quick Light Kit gives you faster, more reliable ignition, less ash buildup, cleaner hands, and more even-burning coals. Light your charcoal from below, every time you start your Egg.

Ready to Cook Sooner: Efficient ignition from the bottom of the Egg helps you reach cooking temperature more quickly.

Cleaner hands: No need to bury a fire starter or rearrange charcoal by hand. Simply dump charcoal into your Egg’s firebox and light it from below.

More Even Heat: The honeycomb grate improves airflow to help minimize hot spots and maintain consistent cooking temperatures. 

Reduces Ash Buildup: Larger grate openings allow ash to fall through for easier cleanup.

Built to Last: Heavy-duty 430 stainless steel can stand up to decades of high-heat cooking.

Compatible with XL and 2XL Eggs.

(Quick Light Tool does not work with cast iron charcoal grate.)

Materials & Care

Built to withstand decades of high-heat cooking, the Quick Light™ Kit requires very little maintenance. 

Quick Light™ Tool 

  • Crafted from heavy-gauge 304 stainless steel with a durable Micarta® handle for a comfortable, secure grip. 
  • If necessary, wash with warm water and mild dish soap. 
  • Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before storing. 
  • Avoid prolonged soaking or extended submersion. 
  • Wipe Micarta with a light coat of food-safe mineral oil or paste wax to condition as needed. 

Quick Light™ Charcoal Grate 

  • Crafted from 430 stainless steel. 
  • For best results, remove ash from grate before each use. 
  • If necessary, remove the grate and wash it by hand with warm water and mild dish soap.

Lights right!

"I'm pleased with the performance with the new grate vs my older one. The vent holes are somewhat larger and denser honey comb design which no doubt increases air flow and allows more ash to fall through the grate as charcoal is consumed. The fire starters and placement tool guide you to the optimum location to quickly and efficiently start your fire. An observation that I might note, due to increased airflow of the grate you might want to adjust the vent doors over your previous settings with older grate."

Overall Good purchase, I purchase

"Overall Good purchase, I purchase XL size mainly for SS grate. I have used grate three times excellent air flow much better than previous cast iron grate. I wish Big Green Egg would sell grate by itself, probably the last grate I will ever need. As far as the light utensil - not needed for my use. I wish I could get a refund for this which I am not using."

— Efren B. (3/5)

Easier light, hotter fire

"Previously, I used a Bernzomatic-type blow torch atop a propane tank to light the Big Green Egg, but sparks often pitted my shirts and sometimes even burned my face. This Quick Light Kit works just as well, almost as quickly, and I don't get burned."

— Eric M. (5/5)

Prompt delivery; packaged very well.

"Prompt delivery; packaged very well. Installation was simple. One cook so far-worked as advertised-very easy and clean to get lump coal up to temp. Definitely recommend this upgrade."

Works amazing

"I’ve always used charcoal chimney’s on my old regular charcoal grills so I was excited when I seen this. It works just as it should. Put the starter in and walk away within 10 minutes my xl egg was at 350."
