Does it make any difference between legs down and up when using for indirect? Will it affect temperature, either low or high?

Usually the legs are up. This creates a better air flow and you can regulate the heat better...

One other advantage (if you can call it that:)) is that with legs up you do not direct the reflected heat directly at the gasket (as occurs with legs down). This will extend the life of your gasket (but it will die soon enough regardless).

Seems to me if you are looking to crank up some really high temps then you need the legs down.

Legs up also give you a spot to put the trip pan. One tip I recently learned was to put one of the legs directly at the back of the egg. The heat typically flows up from the front of the egg towards the back. With the leg there it will deflect the heat more efficiently.

Thanks to all eggers..Looks like it is no big deal whether using legs up or down for indirect.. But I'll have some fun to do some experiments, just like Mythbuster..
