Delivery and questions

bhedges1987

my AR r&b combo arrived today.  Not sure if I have it set up correctly? 

Also, the bottom pic. I am not sure what those two pieces are? 

Thanks

The bottom piece, in second photo, holds your lower oval rack and allows the rack to slide in and out riding on the flat bar.
All looks good.
Tom also has LOTS of photos on his web site with different set ups picturing the Rig.

Get your basics down from the CGS website.

Then just set it up anyway that suits your cook. There are endless combinations for that thing.

Couple other suggestions.

Do a dry/cold fit of your set up before you get the fire going and are ready to start cooking. Make sure things fit. Much easier to handle and change up things when they are not fire hot.

The entire Rig can be lifted out of the Egg if needed. Just keep a place clear so you can do so when it's hot. Welding gloves are a great investment.

Always have a place cleared and ready before you pick up the hot pieces.

If you have not already, remove the retaining spring clip from your dome temp gauge. The raised grid/food will bend your gauge.

Yes, learned the above after making the mistakes mentioned.
