Adjustable Rig Question

Smoke penetration has to do with temperature and humidity, not grill height.  The difference in temperature by raising the grid will be minimal.  Maybe 10-25 degrees.  

Smoke flavor is impacted by cool/wet conditions.  Cold meat vs hot cooking chamber or basting your food will provide more smoke flavor/penetration than raising the grid height.

To answer your question direcly, folks buy the AR and other products to allow for more cooking surface.

That's really interesting... I love having obscure terms like "myoglobin" and "NO absorption" to throw around smugly during a cook. Thanks for posting.

Also, to @ericwelsch 's question, to my knowledge there is only the Adjustable Rig, versus an adjustable rig. Click here.

The AR provides more grilling space and allows you to cook high in the dome. I have bought two one for a large and XL.

I got my AR from the Ceramic Grill Store.

@Tspud1 - I have one of those and they are a flimsy piece of junk that only gets used when I absolutely need to.  I have the Woo2 for a raised direct and have never used an Adjustable Rig.  If the AR is constructed as well as the Woo there in no comparison between the rack you just linked and something bout from Tom @ CGS

I put that up kind of tongue in cheek.
