What do people use the second grate for on an offset smoker?
Does it really add value?

Re: Second grate
The upper grate is usually a good bit hotter than the lower grate so I like to cook chicken on the top while I have ribs on the bottom.
Measure Twice.....Cut Three Times.

Re: Second grate
and if you make the top one removable (you really should) you can pull it out and cook larger cuts on the bottom rack still.

Re: Second grate
Absolutely nothing....mine is just in the way and gets pulled out and set aside 90% of the time. Nice to have the space for when I run a full case of ribs but for most of my cooks it’s just not needed.
