My opinion (I have a 23"), is to not use the foil deflector, as it kinda defeats the purpose of the rotisserie. I'd push most of the charcoal to the back of the basket, so the porchetta rotates in/out of the direct heat zone. In my 23", the charcoal basket is round, so with the splitter in it, I can easily go front or back or sideways.

Well I am sure that 9 out of 10 members in a Facebook group would not actually own a KK but would be happy to tell us how to use it correctly and why their $30 Walmart grill is much better lol

Same with me!

On the 42SBB KK, both the top grate and the bottom grate come in 3 pieces. See in the pic where there is a grate situated sideways in the middle of my lower rack? That's the larger, top level center grate turned sideways. The first person I saw do this on the forum was @Mcjudsten, so I just call it the "Mcjudsten config". It's nice to have the grate going the opposite direction. When you have this much room in the grill width-wise, having the food able to slide from side to side (and if you're using a spatula to be able to scoop from side to side instead of front to back) is nice.

It’s such a shame that you’re not enjoying that thing LOL

So this is the source of those jokes.
