Phshon Posted September 25, 2016 Report Posted September 25, 2016 What is this, where does it go, how does it fit. Now let me explain. I know it attaches to the draft door. It doesn't fit so I will have to do some bending, pulling. I want to be sure I'm right. Thanks
bosco Posted September 25, 2016 Report Posted September 25, 2016 It is a heat deflector shield for the front damper. Goes on the inside of the KK. Its suppose to be tight so wiggle it on don't bend those rods if you don't have to.
ckreef Posted September 25, 2016 Report Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) Yea what @bosco said. Install it so the flat rectangular side is down. The curved edge up and towards the outside. Installs on the lower vent tubes of the KK. If you must tweak it to fit be gentle. Put a long handled screw driver through those tubes and carefully bend to a snug fit.

Phshon Posted September 26, 2016 Author Report Posted September 26, 2016 That screwdriver is a great idea because I'd have to bend the tubes about 1/2". When you say the curved edge up and to the outside do you mean facing outward, because it looks like the curved edge is ment to face inside toward the center of the K. I know these questions seem stupid but after the other shit K, I don' t want to damage this one-- not that I could, it's built like a tank.
MacKenzie Posted September 26, 2016 Report Posted September 26, 2016 This how it should fit inside the firebox.
tinyfish Posted September 27, 2016 Report Posted September 27, 2016 Curved edge pointing to the outside of the KK. The curved edge is under the firebox pointing to the outside kk wall.
Phshon Posted September 28, 2016 Author Report Posted September 28, 2016 Thanks guys. Without too much bending it fits nice and solid. 1
Poochie Posted October 12, 2016 Report Posted October 12, 2016 Wow! I remember when mine was that clean. Now it's nice and "seasoned" with pork, chicken, beef and smoke! 3
