braindoc Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Before my iPad loses power and before I have to deal with some other chores I’ll post these potentially embarrassing questions. What is the stainless steel drawer on the left of the KK? What are the four holes on the bottom left of the firebox? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadeite Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 They are both related to the same thing, the potential addition of the gas burner accessory. The door is for the burner to go into the grill and those four holes is where the burner would connect to the bottom of the KK so it doesn't move around. If you don't have that burner the head shield is locked down by those wingnuts so you don't lose any air that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadeite Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Also make sure you unscrew those wingnuts/remove the door when you do your unwrapping because the door has tape/some foam behind it. Want to make sure that is all gone before you do your first fires. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braindoc Posted June 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 OK, good to know. Happily, I did unwrap the door for precisely the reason your mention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braindoc Posted June 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 And what about this rack standing on top of the charcoal basket? Something to do with the charcoal basket splitter/reducer? Which, by the way, does not come with instructions. What am I missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadeite Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 No that rack is if you want to use the heat deflectors. There should be two other pieces that slip into the notches on the charcoal basket and then that rack snaps on top of it. The reducer is another assembly (which you have most of the pieces of in that other photo). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braindoc Posted June 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 I did not fully unwrap the heat deflectors - there are 4. Two are rectangular, two have a half-moon curve. I haven’t seen any other pieces that would slip into notches on the charcoal basket. Could those be wrapped up with the deflectors?? Maybe this is all academic since I’ve decided to follow the advice on these forums and go without deflectors. After a dozen years with a BGE I hope to make the transition without too much trouble. Here is a better photo with everything in the charcoal basket reducer package. Apart from instructions, is anything missing? And thanks for taking the time on a Sunday afternoon. Much appreciated.

Jadeite Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 You may use that rack for drip pans though, it doesn't just have to be for heat deflectors. As for your divider, everything looks to be there. Those rods screw into the big rounded plate and then you slide the shield along the bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braindoc Posted June 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Jadeite: I’ll look at that again tomorrow when I’m feeling fresher. This has been a very busy day. Grendel has been at about 550F for a couple of hours. So far no tiles popped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All went smooth! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
