Central Cooking & Expansion Accessories

Why People Love It: Ultimate flexibility—smoke a brisket on the bottom and finish veggies up top. Supports heat deflectors and grid expanders, letting you fine-tune your setup for each cook.

Why People Love It: Batch cooks, warming, and multi-item meals become easy. Perfect for elevating delicate foods like fish, or keeping items warm.

Heat Management & Smoking Essentials
