TNSmoker Posted October 3, 2021 Report Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) I know the consensus opinion is that heat deflectors that come with the KK aren’t needed, and I’ve certainly found that to be the case already in just a few cooks that I’ve done on my new 32”. So, it begs the question… have any of you found any practical use for the heat deflectors? Trying to decide if I should store them away for the future, or go ahead and get rid of them. I’m not much of a packrat for stuff I’ll never use! Edited October 3, 2021 by TNSmoker
jonj Posted October 3, 2021 Report Posted October 3, 2021 My main use of the deflector is on the main grate under a baking steel on the upper rack. I use it to keep the crust and toppings of a pizza on the same cooking timeline. Using it tonight, in fact. However, the double bottom drip pan will do the same thing.
