The versatile 2XL convEGGtor® using the basket, it is easy-to put the convEGGtor® which encapsulates the two half ceramic stones into your egg or to remove it. And those can be used separately or together for direct/indirect cooking. Big green Egg's ergonomic design has been well thought out. The improved design of the 2XL convEGGtor® basket makes it even easier and more versatile for indirect cooking. If you use both stones, their curved edges form a single hermetic whole, which prevents you from coming into contact with the direct heat. If you move the half convEGGtor® with stainless steel basket to a different spot, the opening will ensure that air can continue to flow underneath. In this case, a versatile set-up is another understatement.
