Have you ordered anything from the ceramicgrillstore yet? I was going to order the large spider - so I can get a cast iron searing grid really near the coals. But am a little put off by the (lack of) postage options, especially with respect to no insurance. The other option for me is to go talk to a metal fabricator near by and see if they can put something together specifically for the KJ.
You almost read my mind, I emailed Tom at the ceramic grill store on Tuesday and he replied last night, I had a list of questions including an estimate for postage on a spider, lump reducing ring, the woo and a rig, postage was $120 to $200 depending on insurance and speed etc... by the time you add import duty and handling charges it would make my order nearly £350. Whilst I am certain this it top quality stuff I can justify chucking nearly £150 away in shipping and VAT. I am in the states at the end of the month with work and providing I have enough luggage space I will have it shipped to my hotel and bring it back myself. If I can't fit it all in then I will get one of the fabrication companies we use at work to make me up a few bits. It's a shame though as the kit is really well made its just not viable living in the UK.
