Accessory
The Big Green Egg Bamboo Pizza Peel and Screen is a two-piece pizza kit designed specifically for cooking on the EGG. The bamboo peel slides beneath your pizza or bread for clean, confident transfer in and out of the EGG without sticking or collapsing. The aluminium screen sits on the pizza stone inside the EGG and lifts the pizza slightly off the stone surface, allowing air to circulate beneath the base for a crispier, more evenly cooked crust. Sold as a set at $99.
What Is in the Set
Piece 01
Bamboo Pizza Peel
The peel is used to slide pizza in and out of the EGG without disturbing the base or burning your hands. The bevelled leading edge gets cleanly beneath the pizza in one motion. Bamboo is light, does not conduct heat like metal, and does not warp the way traditional timber peels can with repeated moisture exposure.

Sustainable bamboo construction

Drilled hanging hole for storage
Piece 02
Aluminium Pizza Screen
The screen sits on top of the pizza stone inside the EGG and raises the pizza slightly off the stone surface. The perforated aluminium construction allows hot air to circulate freely underneath the base, producing a crisper crust than a pizza cooked directly on the stone. Particularly effective for higher-hydration doughs that are harder to crisp on a stone alone.

Works across all EGG pizza setups
How to Use the Peel and Screen on the EGG
1
Set the EGG up for pizza. Install the ConvEGGtor in legs-up position with the pizza stone on top. Target temperature 280 to 320°C with the dome closed. Allow 15 to 20 minutes for the stone to fully heat through before loading the pizza.
2
Place the aluminium screen on the hot pizza stone. Allow the screen to preheat on the stone for a few minutes before adding the pizza. A preheated screen produces a crispier base from the first contact.
3
Build or transfer the pizza onto the peel. Dust the peel lightly with semolina or flour to prevent sticking. Build the pizza directly on the peel or transfer a pre-built pizza onto it. Slide the peel in a single confident motion to check it moves freely before loading the EGG.
4
Slide the pizza onto the screen inside the EGG. Position the peel tip over the centre of the screen, angle slightly downward, and pull the peel back sharply while keeping it low. The pizza slides off onto the screen and the peel comes out cleanly.
5
Close the dome and cook. A standard 30cm pizza at 300°C takes around 5 to 8 minutes. Check at 5 minutes. When the crust is golden at the edges and the cheese is bubbling, use the peel to lift the pizza off the screen and out of the EGG in one motion.
Features
Feature 01
Bevelled Edge for Clean Pizza Transfer
The leading edge of the bamboo peel is tapered and bevelled so it slides beneath a pizza in a single motion without lifting the base unevenly or compressing the edge. The most common pizza peel failure is a thick blunt edge catching on the dough. The bevelled profile on this peel avoids that entirely.
Feature 02
Screen Lifts Pizza Off the Stone for Airflow
A pizza stone alone conducts bottom heat directly into the base, which can produce uneven results on thicker or wetter doughs. The screen raises the pizza slightly and lets air circulate freely beneath it, so the base crisps through convection heat rather than conduction alone. The result is a more consistent crust across the whole base.
Feature 03
Sustainable Bamboo Construction
Bamboo is harder than most timber species, grows rapidly without requiring replanting, and does not conduct heat the way metal does. A bamboo peel stays cool enough to handle comfortably even after repeated trips in and out of a 300°C dome. It is also lighter than a comparable timber or aluminium peel, which matters when loading a fully built pizza.
Feature 04
Hanging Hole for Storage
The peel has a drilled hole at the top of the handle for hanging storage on a hook or peg. Storing the peel hanging keeps the bamboo surface dry between uses, which extends the life of the timber and prevents any warping from flat storage while still damp after cleaning.

Common Questions
What does the aluminium screen actually do?
The screen sits on top of the pizza stone and raises the pizza slightly off the stone surface. The perforated aluminium allows hot air from the EGG to circulate freely underneath the base during the cook. This produces a crispier, more evenly cooked crust compared to cooking directly on the stone, where the base can become very hard on the bottom before the top has finished cooking. The screen is particularly effective for wetter doughs or thicker-base styles.
Do I need the ConvEGGtor and Pizza Stone to use this kit?
For best results, yes. The standard EGG pizza setup uses the ConvEGGtor in the legs-up position with the pizza stone on top to create indirect heat and a hot baking surface. The screen from this kit then sits on the pizza stone. Without the pizza stone, the screen has no surface to sit on inside the EGG. The ConvEGGtor and Pizza Stone are sold separately and are not included in this set.
How do I stop the pizza sticking to the peel?
Dust the peel with semolina before building the pizza on it. Semolina acts as small ball bearings between the dough and the peel, allowing the pizza to slide freely when you are ready to load. Flour works but semolina is significantly more effective. Build the pizza quickly once it is on the peel and load it without delay. The longer the pizza sits on the peel, the more the dough absorbs any moisture from the surface and the harder it becomes to slide off cleanly.
Can I use this kit for bread or flatbreads as well as pizza?
Yes. The peel works for any bread or flatbread that benefits from a hot baking surface in the EGG. Focaccia, pita, naan, and sourdough all load and retrieve the same way as pizza. For bread that has been proofed in a separate vessel (like a banneton), slide the peel under the loaf to transfer it onto the pizza stone. The screen is less commonly used for bread than for pizza.
How do I care for the bamboo peel?
Wipe the peel clean with a damp cloth after use. Do not submerge the bamboo peel in water or put it through the dishwasher, as prolonged water exposure causes bamboo to swell, crack, and delaminate. Allow it to dry fully before storing. Hang it via the drilled hole in the handle rather than laying it flat while damp. Occasional treatment with food-safe mineral oil or bamboo oil extends the surface life and keeps the bamboo from drying out and splitting at the edges.
Is this a genuine Big Green Egg accessory?
Yes. The Bamboo Pizza Peel and Screen (SKU 128010) is a genuine Big Green Egg accessory supplied through the official BGE Australia distribution network. BBQ Republic is a Platinum Authorised Big Green Egg Dealer, meaning all BGE products we stock are genuine and covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
