I have. The first cook was a rather unimpressive 4 sausages and a fried egg!!! 2nd cook was a few meatballs, a couple of venison steaks, stuffed mushrooms followed by an apple crumble. I need to clear some time and invite a few friends over to do the thing justice.
I'm loving all the space on it. The first cook was done using some semi used briquettes from a previous cook, the same amount I would use on a 57cm grill. I was pleasantly pleased and surprised with how well the ranch maintained its temp. Obviously as you got further away from the coals the temp dropped but I could definitely see that there is a lot of scope for having different zones at different temps. The kettle is a beast on my decking area vand I'm definitely going to have to have a reorganisation.
I've managed to pik up a few bargains over the last few years mainly bu purchasing at h end of the season but this is by far my bet score to date, wasnt on the look out for a ranch but very very pleased I go this
