Excellent, post up some pictures when you've done itKamadoSimon wrote:Actually, for what I want, three lengths of 304 steel sitting across the firebox and in-between the firebox and fire ring will do the job of holding the cast iron grid. Right, off to order some & the small BGE cast iron grate.

How about this as an idea, get a chimney starter and a cast iron grill and Vwallah, an awesome steak grilling machineKamadoSimon wrote:I was going to order the large spider - so I can get a cast iron searing grid really near the coals.

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 tooBigM wrote:JEC whats ya termometer on ya egg like on my cheapo its 90f out on a roll boil using thermapen as a test

Re: Biggest Easter Egg I've Ever Had On Its Way!
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 :)
