Grease deflector shield for PG500 | Cookshack

auqMember

I have had a smokette for 10 years and it is going strong... so I decided to add the PG 500 to my arsenal. It arrived today and all is good after seasoning for 1hr. However, I am concerned about 1 thing, shouldn't the grease deflector shield spread across the area below the zone 4 grates? The one that has come with my PG500 does not stretch across all the way. If I were to put meat across the entire rack, some grease would go into the warming box. Is this the normal grease deflector size?

Call and or email pictures to CS.

Following....mine does not stretch the entire way either. I’m guessing they have the gap so the warming drawer gets more heat? Not sure the reason. Let me know what you hear AUQ.

I did speak with Cookshack via email. All is good. You are to center the grease deflector so that airflow can happen on the outsides. Grease should not go down the sides...

Perfect, thanks for the information!

FYI: FOIL the bottom of the ash pan and warming drawer.

Agree with JoeM. Foil everything! Grease will get into the warming drawer.

Thanks for the heads up on the foil. I had already foiled the ash drawer and grease deflecter.

I probably need to work on my foiling skills when it comes to the ash drawer... foil ripped when I went to empty the ash. Warming pan no problem.

I have to say that I am loving this already. Great pulled pork on Friday, veggies were cooked in it on Saturday, Fish on Sunday, and tonight...

Looking like my smokette might be relegated to cheese, jerky, smoke dried cherry tomatoes, and chipotle (smoke dried Jelepenos).

Thanks!
