I've seen some beautiful pictures in this forum. I've seen a few where it appears as though the grate is level with the the sealing gasket. Mine sits a few inches below. What am I missing?
Thanks

    Animal Eater, a brick. [p]A lot of people use 3 half-height firebricks (approx 9x4x1) standing on edge on the bottom grill to hold a second grill. Other folks go the route of using a plate setter turned upside down to hold the one grill. This allows for cooking indirect at this temperature.

    <p />Animal Eater,[p]Wise One is wise, and correct. Here is a picture of a plate setter (sold by Bge) with a drip pan and another grid on top of the setters legs. It makes a great way to cook indirectly (allows higher cooking temps without burning).[p]Tim

    Animal Eater,
    Some of us have used long bolts to create an elevated grid. I don't have a clear picture of ours, but if you look real close, you can see them. Maybe someone will post a better picture.[p]~nikki

    <p />Animal Eater,[p]Here is a pic of mine - I used stainless steel bolts to raise it. I have a spare grid, but it seems I used this raised one for nearly everything - less flareups.[p]Cheers -[p]Mike

    <p />Animal Eater,
    Here is a couple of pictures of the raised grid for my small egg...I made one for all my eggs.
