    Wrapping split heat deflectors

    Is it a disadvantage to wrap the two split heat deflectors in aluminum foil before I start a cook on my KJ Classic? I find it helps with clean up after the cook. I am just concerned that wrapping in foil may effect my cook or harm the deflectors in some way. What does everyone think? Thanks in advance......The Duck

    I always wrap mine on my Primo. I don't think there are any negatives to wrapping them.

      Almost always wrap in my KJ. Just helps with clean up. No negative effects.

        I haven’t on my KJ classic and they are so messy. I’m wrapping the ones on my new Big Joe every time I use them. I’ve found that if I stand them up at the edge when I do a high temp burn to clean my classic they come out clean, but discolored.

          The first use I did not, which made them filthy. I keep them wrapped up now. Can't imagine any disadvantage to doing so.

            Add me to the wrapped deflector camp. I didn't the first use, and got a lot of crud on them. Sure you can burn it off with high heat, but its easier and conserves fuel if you just wrap in foil.

              Don’t see any disadvantages, but I’m not bothered by gunk on mine. I just turn the hunky side down before the next burn. Gets them clean enough for me until the next high heat clean burn.
