Just picked up my first Big Green Egg from Marketplace! Planning to do a clean burn tomorrow morning to get it ready for action. Headed to Ace to pick up a stainless steel grate and a new gasket. Also going to repaint the hinges and bands and swap out the hardware.
Any must-have accessories or tips for getting a used egg up and running?

It doesn’t look like you need any of that. If the top closed flush, just buy some charcoal and go.
And please move it away from your house a little further before you fire up. Unless you have very close friends in your local fire department.
That gasket looks pretty new already.
Yea man, enjoy it. Do a clean burn and see what comes off the grate, you’ll be surprised before buying a new one.
Saves money for a kick ash basket and pan.
Also don’t change the hardware unless it’s needed. Give everything a once over with wrench /socket. You don’t have to rebuild it.
