Grill accessories

The right accessories are often the small difference between a good barbecue evening and one that will be talked about next year. Not the spectacular tools, but the silent helpers: the wireless thermometer that reliably beeps when the brisket reaches its core temperature. The conveggtor that turns a direct grill into an indirect one. The cast iron insert that distributes the heat in a different way.

Good accessories not only make better results possible - they make grilling more relaxed. And that's the real point.

The Categories

• Thermometers — wireless and core temperature thermometers, the most important helper of all.
• Conveggtor & Heat Deflectors — for indirect grilling and Low & Slow.
• Grates, Grilling Plates & Inserts — cast iron for the perfect grill marks, stainless steel for high heat.
• Smoking Accessories — pellets, wood chips, cedar smoking planks.
• Tongs, Brushes, Thermal Gloves — the basics for daily work at the fire.

Two Systems, from One Source

Big Green Egg has developed its own accessory ecosystem - every part is matched to the ceramic grills. The conveggtor, for example, transforms the Egg into an oven, a pizza stone sub-construction turns it into a wood-fired oven, a wok insert makes it a mobile Asian kitchen.

Thüros builds accessories for its own charcoal grills: rotisserie grates, side shelves, lid attachments. All made of stainless steel, all can be assembled without tools. And - which is not insignificant with Thüros - all built to fit even in 15 years, when the grill itself already shows small traces of patina.

What really makes the difference: A wireless core thermometer with two probes (one in the meat, one on the grate) is the most inexpensive single measure to improve your grilling. "Another three minutes" becomes "core temperature 54 °C, take it out" - and the meat is perfectly cooked. Without further practice, without intuition, simply by measuring. Guests immediately notice the difference.
