What This Means When You Cook

True Two-Zone Setups

Combine one stainless steel half-moon grid with a half-moon ceramic heat deflector on one side to create an indirect safe zone for roasting chicken or finishing thick-cut steaks after searing.

Multi-Level Cooking

Position stainless grids on different levels of the Divide & Conquer frame to cook delicate vegetables higher in the grill while searing proteins closer to the charcoal.

Care & Cleaning Tips

• Stainless steel requires no seasoning and can be stored inside the grill between cooks.

CGS Pro Tip: Pair this grid with a half-moon heat deflector underneath on one side. This creates a dedicated indirect zone so you can reverse-sear steaks—bringing them up to internal temperature over gentle heat before moving them over direct charcoal to finish the crust.
