Sat around 400 for the 1st hour then brought it up to the recommended 550F, went and checked after the last post and found 2 tiles lifted, one went back no worries the other keeps coming out, i'd say its still venting.

Also finding a few white spots which i presume is the solvent seeping out, using Aussie's tip and cleaning them off with the Magic Eraser.

Owners manual says 4-6 hrs at 550F 

Then raise it 50o for a half hour until you are up to 650o for 2 hours.

Anybody advise, do i need to re-grout around where the tiles lifted and if so can i do it after its cooled down.....thnx

Forgot to mention the temp control is amazing, compared to the Big Joe it is so intuitive and responsive it reminds me of my younger days when i once owned a 1970 428 Cobra Jet Mustang and my 2nd car was an 65 XP Falcon.....would jump out of the XP and into the 428 and say to myself, yep....this is where i want to be, OMG do i miss that car and the 70's

Dinner done ! Not quite long enough for the lamb but super impressed with the flavour ! Roast potatoes were a new benchmark, crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside !

i don’t think I put enough charcoal in the basket for the cook, as I had to top up, and I couldn’t get past 250C (not that I needed to - but was seeing if I could). 

I assume to get high temps it’s more of activity with a well lit (spread) basket of charcoal. I’m using the mallee charcoal - which I love the taste of.

Just pick a a hole where it's venting no need to regroute it will settle and mold it's self together as it cools

Ahh... I should have told you about that when I was around. I must admit I had to read the forums a few times to get my cradle roti working. 

So what did you end up cooking?
