    The burn in is a little nerve wrecking but then you get I to it and realize it’s nothing. After that, it’s all great cooks! Just remember when you are playing with the vents to remember what setting you have for what temps. That will help a lot in the future. The goal is never to over shoot your temp as these things retain heat like nothing else. Dropping temp can take some time. Absolutely amazing grills. You will love it! Congrats again, and if you need anything, please let me know.

    Thank you all!!
    That was helpful information. I didn’t put any deflector plate/stones in, so that sounds like that is ok?
    Going through the venting process right now, which is interesting and stressful at the same time! Had a couple of tiles lift, but looking good. Running at about 540-550F and will keep it there for the prescribed 4-6 hours. 
    Then I read I should gradually take it to 650F to finish off the process. 
    Any hints or tips from anyone on this? Seems like it’s going to plan!
    Thanks!!


    Sounds like you have it down. I don’t use any stones in mine. I keep the bottom under the firebox open so I don’t worry about airflow issues, but I also vacuum it out often, especially before long smokes.

    Just keep your eye on it from time to time and push the areas that bubble back. There is a great thread on it in the owners area that’s very helpful.

    If you need to talk, dm me for a number. I’m having a dinner party in about an hour and a half but if you need me I will be there to help.

    The stones are for indirect cooking on different levels of grates, but aren’t really needed. It’s for those that come over from Big Green Eggs etc. you can use the really nice drip pans for indirect. At least that’s what I do.

     

    All the other grates can be configured In different ways.

     

    The gorgeous team handles are for removing the lid to replace springs etc if need be. They also help to move it if you need to do that.

     

    Welcome to the 42SBB club. More pics please.

     

    Edit: just saw that Mc resounded already.

     

    Tip: line the pans with tin foil to help keep them nice and easier to clean.

  11. Everyday Misc Cooking Photos w/ details

    [mention=3374]SSgt93[/mention] - lovely food shots.  It would be good to get a bit of grill envy in to the bargain.  Some more photos showing how you are managing to cook with so little grill space would be great.  Keen to see how you are managing the fire and the space on the 42 for different size cooks.

     

    That pic is actually just the center of the lower grate. I will post more for sure on here and Instagram of various cooks, however; the majority of my cooks have been small so far and set up for small cooks. What impresses me is that I’ve been getting a lot of reuse out of the lump, even after hot cooks.

    I bought my original Kamado 7 in 1998 from Richard.  In 2004 I bought a Kamado 3 for my girlfriend apartment.  They sent it directly to my girlfriends apartment just like I had requested; however,  They sent the bill to my house.  That did not make my wife very happy.


    LOL!
