3 Tier

I just opened my 3 tier rack.  Are there supposed to be pins or something to hold the racks in place?  Nothing came with mine to suit that purpose...just the 3 levels and the pole that goes in the middle.   Thanks!!

    @BigPete-welcome aboard and enjoy the journey.  
    Now for the business at hand-you have been short-changed pieces as mentioned by @GrannyX4.   You really should take the whole package back and retrieve your money.  There are much better options out here for the cooking eggspepience you are looking for.  DIY is a great option til you really sort out your cooking plans with the BGE.  FWIW-

    +1 with what @lousubcap said. Check out the Ceramic Grill Store and Ceramic Grill Works. I used a homemade raised grid for a year or so before I bought the woo3.

    I wasn't going to be the first "debbie downer" but since Cap already peed in your cheerios I will say that I totally agree with all above. Abort mission on the 3-tier and get some thing that actually works.Swing rack, Adjustable Rig, homemade setup of some sort- all are better that the 3-tier.

    As GrannyX4 said, yes you are missing the pins that hold the levels in place.   I have this rack and use it for wings etc, wrks great (I even lost a pin and use a nail to hold it it).  Ceramic Grill Store is ok if you are in the US, need a second mortgage to ship to Canada    :(

    Welcome big Pete

    I looked at that one you got my but decided to make my own...I'm going to get a smaller egg soon and will get an AR for that one...

    If you are looking for ideas here is a homemade 3 tier I made recently..so far so good...Great for wings... Walmart has a cheaper large grid now...and it dosent have hinges so i would have preferred that.
