I have a large GE, Is there any atvantage to having the grid or grill higher in the dome for cooking better. I have a plate setter. I know what it does. But having the food higher in the dome, is that better.

    Slyder,[p] Sometimes (e.g., for piza), I find that it is easier to get the food in and out if the grid is at or slightly above the level of the opening . . .[p]Mike

    I like having it higher for medium heat cooks that last, for things like poultry. It lets me keep direct and reduce the amount of burning. I use a couple fire bricks on edge to do this. With indirect cook, I don't think it matters much.
