re: PK Grill's

I smoke on my PK too. Holds temps very well but surface area is a problem so you have to get creative.

I love my PK for setting up zones. I use a little more elevated grate and can set up 4 zones.
1) directly above coals on main grate high heat sear (steaks and burgers)
2) a less intense direct zone on top of the little more above the coals (chicken and pork). I prefer this because they won’t burn.
3&4 are two indirect zones with the top zone being a little hotter than the bottom. This comes in handy if you have some thing that you want to cook a little faster or needs more time then whatever is on the bottom.
