Not sure which looks better, the KK or that hunk of pork
Great color
I'll try to give guidance on your Q's.
What side of the heat deflector goes down? One side is smoother than the other.
I have to leave this to others who have opened a heat deflector from a newer grill, I gave the one that came with mine to Tom because I ordered a shaped drip pan and use it for heat deflector.
How to you get the side tables on correctly?
Sorry, have to defer this one also, I do not own side wing tables.
How do you get the bottom door open to pull the tape off of it
The front door just pulls out.
You will love cooking on this.
