Drip pan (Boretti Ceramica Medium)

Indirect cooking

Essential

Heat deflector 45 cm

Without a deflector the meat sits straight over the fire and a kamado is an expensive grill. The deflector turns it into an oven, which is what low and slow rests on. Check whether your complete set already came with one.

Indirect cooking

Essential

convEGGtor (Big Green Egg XLarge)

Big Green Egg’s own ceramic heat deflector, sized for the XLarge. It puts a barrier between the fire and your food, which turns the EGG into an oven for low and slow and for pizza.

Indirect cooking

Can wait

Half-moon heat deflectors, set of 2 (Kamado Joe Classic)

Two half deflectors instead of one round one, so one half of the grate cooks indirect and the other over the fire. A Classic usually ships with them; this is the set on its own.
