Question from Xenophon Tzambazles: Asked on 24/07/2022 Hi. Can you use wood or charcoal with this? Also: what is the exact cooking area size? There is conflicting info - 18inch vs 38cm?
Hi Xenophon,
Thanks for getting in touch!
You can use wood or charcoal, depending on your specific recipe.
The exact cooking area is 38cm. If you're looking for a larger cooking area you might want to consider the XL - this is 47.5cm

Question from JOE1981: Asked on 08/07/2022 How do you set up the pizza stone as heat deflector? When using the layered grill the pizza stone will not fit on the bottom grill due to the legs of the top grill
Hi Joe,
Thanks for getting in touch
To use the pizza stone as a deflector you'll need to purchase a bracket, but we don't currently have these in stock.
See the triangular brackets here:

Question from james: Asked on 05/06/2022 Re heat deflector plate on 18-inch Boss. It is 13-inch diameter but doesn't sit on the lower grill. Fouls on the lifting handle for charcoal access and handle opposite outer edge. The video shows it sitting in place. Have I got the correct heat deflector for this mode?
