I was going to order a mat from this site for my wooden deck. Not quite sure what shape I want yet. https://metalscut4u.com/blog/build-your-own-metal-grill-mat.html Good luck!

I make my own rubs. I have just short of 100 spices. I find buying spices in small amounts from spice purveyors is far cheaper than buying some the mixes. I also struggle with the amount of sodium in the mixes. I make the spice rub based on what I feel or recipes that I have amazed over time. For bulk spices, I like Savory spice shop, World spice and Wholespice in Napa. One tip, never order 4ozs of parsley. I took almost a year to finish!!!

Tony b, Hope you like the vac. It has a pretty long hose and I usually clean from the vent on the bottom but have also cleaned from the top of the cooker.

I use a vacuum made for fireplace ash. Cost about $60 on Amazon. Works great! http://www.amazon.com/PowerSmith-PAVC101-Amp-Ash-Vacuum/dp/B0060EUA32

Miele has these wireless probes in their new ovens for a few years. I wonder how they are addressing the heat issue with the battery. I like these wireless thermometers for my KK.
