Setting up my new 22 TT, what’s this?

We are putting on our new 22TT, can anyone tell me what’s this part for?

It looks like the spark shield that goes inside behind where the bottom vent slides in

That’s what it is. It goes curved side up, curve toward the body of the grill.

As noted, goes inside on the draft door rails, curved side up. It protects the wooden knob(s) on your draft door from the heat and helps keep ashes from getting in the door frame and causing air leaks after shutdown.

And keeps the one in a million round piece of burning charcoal from rolling down a mountain of ash right out the front draft door.

It's the only way to safely keep the floor of the grill flush to the bottom of the draft door which makes cleaning out ash so easy.

It should have been shipped with this heat/ash shield installed..
