Multi-Level Grate System features 3-4 adjustable-height expanded metal grates that allow pitmasters to cook different proteins or stages simultaneously. Bottom grate handles low-and-slow pork butts at 225°F while upper grates sear ribs or chicken at 350°F+ for caramelized bark that pairs perfectly with Carolina vinegar sauce.
This configuration maximizes fuel efficiency and chamber space while providing precise heat zoning essential for Eastern NC whole hog or Lexington-style shoulders. The staggered heights create natural convection for even smoke distribution across all levels.
