I think I just want to get the grate a little higher, when I cook chicken in a marinate with oil I struggle with flare ups. The extended rack is O.K. but it leans on both ends and is smaller than the main grate which ia already too small. I have not been able to convince my wife we need another egg, YET. I was thinking about the woo2 not sure if the adjustable would be better, any input on this would help.

Just for some backround I like to cook thighs and quarters, when I get a flareup it leaves black soot on the food. I have tried closing the bottom vent and the top wide open, that seems to help but it's not perfect. Chicken is cooking at 400 direct and like I said it's an oil marinate
