Yes absolutely.. once in a while... Just don't make an Effing habit of it! LOL

There is no better, only different with each having their merits. My analogy is that the more dense a material is, the more readily it transfers heat to what you are baking/cooking. The baking steels are of course very dense and rapidly transfer lots of heat to your food. This is great with the thin cracker crust pizzas. But at the same temps a traditional pie will have the bottom burned before the top is cooked. The heat transfer formula for my baking stones is for medium to thick crust pizza or bread. Any material can in theory, be used you will just need to balance the crust cooking with the rest of the pie. I always think of the first pie as my guinea pig.. I throw a pie on it and see how it goes at whatever temp the grill is at.. If the crust is finished before the pizzas' toppings are cooked I raise the grill's temp. If the topping and top crust is burning before the crust is ready you need to reduce the grill's temp.. The heat transferred by the stone will stay relatively stable/consistent. Just with the damper top high temps can be adjusted in seconds once you have the grill heat soaked and a basket with only medium and larger pieces of charcoal that do not restrict the grill's airflow.

LOL no have not.. But no reason I could not make up a 42 grill version of the 32" grates for you. It would be a bit tedious but I could make them as light and easy to handle as you like..

This was a Dec 29th cook.. I left on the 31st to Bangkok and just got home.. LOL seriously furry! My 32 is clean

An unused 19" TT loaded up with fat from a low and slow cook left alone for a month in the tropics will grow some colorful furry mold.

This is what I don't want him to do..

Please do not mess with the latch.. many ways to skin that cat without doing that..

Awesome Video..

What is the advantage of using it inside your KK instead of outside? Please only use this little grill with that front door closed. It would be generating MUCH too much heat too close to the silicone gaskets. It's of course not designed to have charcoal there. I had problems once with someone filling up the lower grate with charcoal. Damaged the grill's acrylic jacket because the hot face is not a firebox.

Ceramic tiles vary from box to box and batch to batch. A tile color usually has some very dark tiles, lots of middle of the road tiles and some very light tiles. We sort the tiles for shade and tone and then build with these sorted tiles. This gives the grills a more uniform appearance and eliminates streaks or patterns emerging. The unique grills are all given a unique inventory number.

The CoCo char is wasted at high temps because the volatile material in lump charcoal starts to burn off at about 450º.. that's what the flames at those higher temps are. I use the coco char at low and slow temps and it holds together well.

It looks like almost all of it is just tile damage.. the insulation looks intact. Let's talk, we'll get ya all fixed up!

When you really want to hurt a guy take a hammer to what he loves!

Dayumn.. No complaints with that plate!

It's there you just need to click on the photo..

I adjusted it.. Bobby and I have spoke on the phone a few times and I have some kind of a relationship with him. I'm guessing I'll get some response.. Still LOL

Oscar may have the best version.. “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.” ― Oscar Wilde. It's not and it will never be.. So I'll just accept the flattery and leave it at that..

It's not really even loss it just collects down there. A small fan most definitely would be a great McGyver solution but not something I would sell.. bit rinky dinky.. LOL

Where ever you want the cold smoker to sit.. Easiest access but it's the same for the smoke. I also shipped some sets of drill bits for those who may not have them to save them a trip to the store.

With your tiling skills, I know it would just take some effort with a Dremel but folks without some experience cutting tiles would not want to tackle the pebble install. We're also futzing with a flexible tube that runs the smoke up to the base of the charcoal basket from the inside.

I've never said the smoker is inefficient or would not work if used down below, I will say it works best if there is a small fire burning to create some circulation and carry the smoke up to where the meat is. That's fine unless you want to actually cold smoke something. If there is no fire, the smoke definitely gathers below the firebox and common sense would lead me to believe there would be condensation of some of that vapor down there. Also the cleanest smoke is not a huge fire raging in the cold smoker. Boring a hole through refractory cement and insulation is actually easy if you use three bits and take it upslowly.. The only challenge is when you get to the second or third bit and start hitting the rigid stainless shards! LOL That is the time you want to ensure you have a good grip on your drill. If it was not do-able for someone with basic workshop skills I would not make it avaialble.. Yes doing it on a pebble is going to be much more skill intensive to get a factory installed look. I'm just getting my feet back under myself after traveling to Thailand on the 31st and running myself ragged to the point of getting a crippling migrane and being unable to work a few nights.

Welcome to the forum.. Love the way the wife thinks

Happy New Year to all.. Just walking out the door here in Bangkok.. 2016 has been a surprise in soo many ways, looking forward to 2017. Have a good and safe one.. thanks as always for your friendship and support..

I think the reason you have problems with the bracket is that you bought one of the massive box roti motors.. Truth is because the meat spins on its axis the motor does not need to be that big.. the 50lb motor is more than enough. The reason the bracket is adjustable is that the Chinese motors vary from batch to batch.. shallow sockets, deep sockets even the position of the drive socket changes. And of course, motors from different companies vary.. better to ship a one bracket fits all version. I'm happy to entertain any ideas to modify/update it..
