Improved air flow on green egg
Posted by EWE TIGER on 8/8/15 at 5:44 pm21
I was getting the egg cleaned up for an all day cook tomorrow and decided to snap a pic of a small modification I made, and share with the board. I cut out a piece of expanded metal that sits just above the grate and vent holes in the fire box. This keeps the coals from clogging up the vent holes. I've found it much easier to hold temps for long cooks since I started using it. The improved air flow also allows for very high temp cooking, although I don't do much of that. Just thought I'd share, and interested to hear of any other mods you guys have made.

I couldn't see your pic, but I am familiar with the aftermarket TurboGrate, which is designed to improve airflow through the firebox. It's twisty and 3-d to keep the coals fluffed up/separated. Looks like this: LINK
Looks like a nice mod.
I haven't had a problem holding temps or getting it really hot since I started to sort my lump charcoal. Sort out the bag into large medium and small, then stack the coals in that same order.
I keeps the air flowing nicely just like your mode does.

That's the exact reason I did it. Didn't really care for sorting through a bag of coals, then carefully stacking them. Now I just open a bag of coals and dump some in.

Solid modification there. I bought a kick ash basket which kinda serves the same purpose.

Nice idea. Thanks for sharing.
Good idea bet it works.,I've found that when puting the lump charcoal in Reach into the bag and grab with two hands then put in the BGE instead of dumping it in. Repeat until right level. Makes a difference in burn as fewer little pieces and no dust to clog the vents.
