DerekFSU Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 Hello from Tallahassee. Can't locate the assembly instructions, sure one of my guys lost them. Really have no idea where to put the extra pieces of insulation, total novice. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 There really isn't an "assembly" manual, as it's pre-assembled in the crate. What are referring to by "extra pieces of insulation" - the pizza stone, deflector plate(s)?? There is an "owners manual" that Dennis will email you. Ping him if you haven't received it yet?

GrillnBrew Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 Probably talking about the spare gasket for the top vent, hopefully you won't need that for a while. Other than attaching the side tables and rotisserie (if you got them), there really is no other assembly, just placement of the charcoal basket and grates. Everything you really need to know can be found on this forum, just search for it and you will see somebody has already had the same issue or question. The unpacking threads are really helpful for seeing all the pieces and and people here explaining where they go and how to use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poochie Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 (edited) It's possible you'll have to put the lid on. Otherwise, the brackets for the shelves if you ordered them. If it's a 32" you may have a total of 4 heat deflectors like I got . Two that are rounded and two that are rectangles. Store those for now. Did you get a rotisserie basket? I sent you a copy of the owner's manual. Edited February 11, 2022 by Poochie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poochie Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 I sent you a personal message with the heat deflector info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C6Bill Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 (edited) The heat deflectors go in a closet never to be seen again lol At least 90% of us don’t use them, a couple folks do. Edited February 12, 2022 by C6Bill 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 Or use them in your garden as stepping stones. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffshoaf Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 Mine works great as a deflector - it deflects the heat from the hot chimney starter so my deck doesn't get burnt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenzie Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 There is a perfect spot in the garden just waiting for me to lug them out there. They are not going to see the inside of a KK. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Pearson Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 I use my broiler pan from my indoor over as a deflector. It also catches any drippings I might want to use. I don’t need it for indoor oven because it doesn’t work. So I bought the Anova steam oven. I think I may have a kitchen gadget sickness! I get all this cool stuff but hardly ever use it. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 Yes, @Bruce Pearson you have a gadget "problem" and need counselling, or at a minimum, cooking lessons to use all that gear you've acquired! 😄 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 I think a lot of us were cut from the same fabric as Bruce. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poochie Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 I bought 2 full size steamer pans from a local kitchen supply place. I put one pan in the other and now I have a double bottom pan to catch drippings and they'll never burn in there. I also did the exact same thing to a half size pan since it's big enough for a boston butt or a chicken. The huge advantage to the double bottom pan that Dennis sells is that it's shaped like the cooking grate. But I was too cheap to buy it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found that a lot of my other equipment fits nicely inside it, so it's a nice way to consolidate stuff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
