Raised Direct Clarification
Comments

From what I've read it depends on the type of food being cooked. In the chicken wing thread, some recommended going higher in the dome for crisper skin.

For me, raised grid can mean anything that is raised from the "normal" BGE grate. Typically my raised grid setup is adjustable rib with the its own grate sitting on the ceramic ring that the normal BGE grid would sit on, which raises the cooking surface to about 4" above the felt line I think.

JeffM said:I always considered "raised direct" to mean the main grill raised even with the felt line via woo, Adjustable rig, firebricks, bolts, etc. I have seen several pictures where the grill is 2-3 inches above the felt line. Is there a consensus to this term or is it all good?Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

I live with AR's in both my Larges. 80% of my cooks at some time or the other ends up a couple of inches over the the felt (and at time higher with adding the extender). To me raised = better control of the cook (in simple terms, don't burn near as much stuff)...... Most of my cooks are direct.
.My Mini has the Mini Woo in it most always. I am thinking of having Tom do me another Mini Woo only higher.
