Firemonkey Posted June 18, 2014 Report Posted June 18, 2014 For anyone wanting to try a screen, you can get disposable screens at walmart in the grill section for about $.97 each. They have rectangle and round. Expanded aluminum, just like the real screens from the kitchen supply house, only with a slightly concave perimeter, and without the rigid ring around the outsides. I don't use them for pizza, but have a stack that I will use for small vegetables or even roll up to help move things like fatties around. And while disposable, you can certainly toss them in the dishwasher and reuse until thy are too bent to deal with.
tony b Posted June 18, 2014 Report Posted June 18, 2014 Hey Firemonkey, have you tried Frogmats for doing your fatties? They work great. www.frogmats.com

Are they sturdy enough to lift something heavyish - like a chicken or meatloaf?
tony b Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 Hey, just glad to have you back and posting again, Firemonkey! The frogmat works great, very sturdy. Wouldn't hesitate to pick up a meatloaf with one.
Firemonkey Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 Hey, just glad to have you back and posting again, Firemonkey! It's almost like watching kids grow up... With the new guard rediscovering and trying out all the same things we did way back when. Whoa... I think I just had an epiphany - I'm getting old!

Whoa... I think I just had an epiphany - I'm getting old! Nah - we're just revisiting cooks we've done before on other Kamados. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
Firemonkey Posted December 9, 2015 Report Posted December 9, 2015 I'm curious, what has become of your previous kamados? Serious question - keep around for a spare? Sell it? Donate it? Put it in a corner and call it names while you give the kk all your attention?

Cooked me and Mrs skreef a few really fine meals while at a cabin on our honeymoon. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
tony b Posted December 9, 2015 Report Posted December 9, 2015 Gave away the POSK to a buddy who helped me move it off my deck and the new KK on in it's place. Still have my baby Grill Dome, but never cook on it anymore since I got the basket splitter for the KK. Have contemplated selling it, but never get around to it.
Firemonkey Posted December 9, 2015 Report Posted December 9, 2015 I gave away my #5 POSK, too. Guy fixed the tiles as they fell off, and still cooks on it.
Cookie Posted December 10, 2015 Report Posted December 10, 2015 I still have a #7 POSK in storage in the USA....missing 25% of its tiles. I have a plan to some day retrieve it in the middle of winter, seal the dampers, fill it with water, let it freeze, then hit it with my .50 Dessert Eagle.
tony b Posted December 10, 2015 Report Posted December 10, 2015 Cookie, PLEASE post a video of it if you do! Every POSK owner would be forever in your debt as that was probably everyone's fantasy!!
