VBOYL Big Green Egg XL 5-Piece Replacement EggSpander Kit — Stainless Steel Multi-Level Rack & Split Grids

VBOYL's 5-piece upgraded replacement kit turns a Big Green Egg XL into a flexible multi-level cooking system with stainless-steel parts for searing, indirect roasting and sliding rack access.

This VBOYL replacement kit for the Big Green Egg XL recreates the EggSpander setup with five stainless-steel components built to expand your cooking zones and simplify handling the plate setter. The set includes bottom and top holder frames, a removable upper grill, and two semicircular split grids so you can swap, slide and sear nearer the coals or set up multi-zone arrangements. It’s designed to match the fit and function of the OEM system while offering a durable, corrosion-resistant alternative at a more affordable price.

How does this kit change what I can cook on my Big Green Egg?

The VBOYL kit increases the number of cooking configurations you can assemble, letting you switch between direct high-heat searing and indirect low-and-slow roasting without extra tools. The split half-circle grids enable two-zone grilling for different foods at once and the removable upper rack moves in and out for easy access to the plate setter.

• More than 40 possible cooking/roasting combinations for flexible meal planning.
• Split semicircle grids let you sear on one side while roasting on the other.
• Upper rack slides away to remove or reposition the plate setter quickly.

Will this fit my Large or XLarge Big Green Egg and replace the EggSpander?

This kit is sized for the Big Green Egg XL and replicates the EggSpander concept so it fits the same mounting points and supports your place setter and grate. It is intended as a replacement/upgrade solution, not a universal insert for smaller Egg models. Note: it cannot be used simultaneously with a convEGGtor or heat deflector.

• Specifically compatible with XLarge Big Green Egg models.
• Matches base geometry to hold the plate setter and raise the grate.
• Not compatible for use at the same time as a convEGGtor/heat deflector.

What materials and build quality should I expect?

All five components are made from stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance, designed to withstand repeated heating cycles and routine outdoor use. The construction mirrors the function and layout of name-brand racks while offering a cost-effective alternative; some rod ends are intentionally longer for easier handling during loading and removal.

• Durable stainless-steel frames and grids resist rust and deformation.
• Sturdy build supports heavy cookware and repeated adjustments.
• Longer trimmed rod ends facilitate sliding and pulling the upper rack.

How do I use the split grids and upper rack for multi-zone cooking?

The two semicircle grids allow you to arrange one half for direct searing and the other half for indirect cooking, or to create separate temperature zones for different foods. The removable upper rack provides a secondary cooking plane for warming, slow-cooking or finishing without crowding the main grate.

• Place one split grid above direct coals for quick searing.
• Use the opposite split grid with the plate setter for indirect roasting.
• Slide the upper rack in and out to baste, flip or access the plate setter easily.

Who this is for: the VBOYL 5-piece kit is aimed at backyard chefs and BBQ enthusiasts who own a Big Green Egg XL and want expanded cooking flexibility without buying multiple specialty accessories. It’s ideal for cooks who switch between searing and slow-roasting during the same session, for those who prepare multiple dishes at different temperatures, and for anyone seeking a stainless-steel replacement that mirrors EggSpander functionality at a competitive price.
