thanks for the tip. i just noticed today for the first time my lid didn't stay up. your pictures and description were appreciated. i am doing a smoke right now so i will wait until i finish and the KK cools down to do the adjustment.
I am new to the KK, just got mine a week and a half ago. I tried the tinfoil heat deflector method on the bottom grate and it worked like a charm and easy clean up. this was Dennis's recommendation and i will be using it from now on.
