So I know nothing about grilling but I want to learn.
First I need to make sure I have all that I need for the smoker.
The Heat Diffuser shows as a solid plate in the manual. My plate has a square hole in it just above the firebox. I don't have a plate to cover that square hole and I am trying to figure out if that means I am missing a piece.
Further, are there times I would leave that hole open when grilling vs having it covered?
I know this smoker allows for direct heat. Would that be done with the meat right over that hole (and it open) or would I remove the heat diffuser entirely for that?
Signed, so-much-to-learn.
