Inserting the Pizza-Porta:
The KJ uses a spring hinge. To get proper alignment:
•
Open the grill lid fully and place the XL Pizza-Porta
on the grill base.
•
Locate the hole on the bottom of the Pizza-Porta
over the bottom latch of the grill.
•
Visually align the unit left and right and front and
back.
•
Carefully lower the dome down 1” above the Pizza-
Porta. adjust the Pizza-Porta left and right and fore
and aft so it aligns on the base.
•
Press down on the grill handle to compress the
gasket.
•
Flip the “D-Ring” over the top portion of the grill
latch
•
The top “D-ring” can be adjusted so it aligns
properly.
Lighting and SETUP:
(Experiment with your setup
before lighting). Load your grill with a full load of
charcoal (above the fire ring). Light your charcoal as per
normal. While the fire is getting established, arrange the
deflector stones on the top setting of the Divide and
conquer. Place the metal cooking grate directly on top.
Use foil balls or other spacers for ½” to 1” lift and then
your pizza stone on top. Use a layer of aluminum foil
under the pizza stone as an added deflector on the 21”
stone.
Airflow:
Start with the Pizza-Porta vents closed and door
unlocked. Open the top chimney vent of the grill
until it reaches
500F. Then, close off the top vent of the dome completely and use
only the Pizza-Porta vents from here. Each grill responds slightly
different to airflow, you can adjust the temperature by coordinating
the bottom vent with the two Pizza-Porta vents. Closing off the
kamado/BGE grill top vent retains heat in the dome and forces
airflow across the pizza.
