Tools4Grill 21-inch raising rack

• Dimensions: 36 * 36 * 10.5 cm
• 5mm thick stainless steel

Stainless steel raising rack. The rack can be used with or without a heat deflector. You use a raising rack to achieve better circulation in the kamado when using a heat deflector, so that the stone sits higher and does not completely block the heat, but allows warm air to flow past the stone.

The Heat Deflector adds great flexibility to your Kamado grill. You need it to allow heat to reach your product indirectly and circulate around your food, keeping it incredibly moist and tender. The frame of the heat deflector can also be used alone to raise the cooking grate. It reduces the potential for burning tender foods such as seafood and vegetables.

Another method to prevent direct heat on the heat deflector is to place a pizza stone underneath it in the raised rack. This prevents the stone from receiving direct heat, allowing you to place the meat directly on the heat deflector without the bottom burning too much.

Working with a pizza stone

You can place a pizza stone directly on a grate. The disadvantage is that there is little air circulation because the stone blocks most of the kamado's cross-section. Additionally, the stone sits slightly below the rim of the BBQ, making it difficult to put on and take off. With a raised rack, you position the pizza above the rim, making it easier to work on.

3 cooking methods:

1. Bottom position
This is the most popular configuration for preparing food such as spareribs, pulled pork, and poultry at very low temperatures. With this configuration, you can place a drip tray up to 7 cm deep between the ceramic plate and the grill grate.

2. Highest position
This is the best configuration for baking food such as pizza (pizza stone required), bread, and casseroles. Use the ceramic plate in the top position to allow more heat to circulate around your food. This configuration does not permit the use of a drip tray.

3. Using only the frame for grilling
Use the heat deflector frame only to elevate your cooking grate for grilling food such as seafood and vegetables. The advantage of this configuration is that it reduces the direct heat on your food. It is also good for creating "warm" and "hot" zones in your grill to prevent your food from charring. Place your charcoal on the firebox side and position your food on the other side of your grill.
