3 tier extender

I need some pointers on how to best use the 3 tier extender. I have the necessary eggcessories but need some guidance as to why I need to use my indirect plate and cannot just replace my normal grate with the extender.

Brian,
Typically when you use the 3 tier grid you are cooking indirectly. With the plate setter legs up on the 4" fire ring, the 3 tier grid is too tall. That's why you use the 2" fire ring. If you want to cook direct, there is no reason you couldn't just swap it with the standard grid. -RP

AZRP,[p]2" fire ring? Where does that come from? BGE? I'd sure like a 2" fire ring for the XL.

Brian,[p]I did a big batch of chicken pieces on the 3 tiered unit and when I went to baste the food the lower ring was right at the gasket level and I got some sauce on the gasket. Now I just remove the entire thing from the egg and baste away and then set back in the egg.
