Excellent, post up some pictures when you've done it

How about this as an idea, get a chimney starter and a cast iron grill and Vwallah, an awesome steak grilling machine

I tried that a few years back when I thought I was being clever, somehow it didn't work too well, ended up like trying to cook for in a jet engine

Pretty much bang on out of the box, within 5 degF to my thermapen. It's a BGE branded Tel-Tru gauge which you can buy from BGE UK, other bonus is you can calibrate it too

SWEET dont need to buy a new Dome thermometer
Emailed guy from ebay told him my prob theremometer out by
88f 300f instead of 212f, got email saying thermometer can be calibrated via nut on bk
plus he said will also ship me another just incase i have any probs
so spent last 10mins calabrating now it shows 210 on rollin boil

BigM is this for your grey ceramic? Stop mucking about with the thermometer and get a fire in it!

BTW I bought a BBQ dial thermomter off ebay for about £2.50, including shipping from hong kong. It arrived about 2 months later and is just as accurate as my 60 quid tel tru. Doesn't look quite so nice though :)

heheh u got some 3£ ones off ebay too for my uds there about 20f out not bad for 3£
as for firing it Up hehe Doin spatchcock tandoori chicken tomorrow and Brisket on Sunday for dinner
just plannin my brisket timings out its a 8lber flat and point.
