Hello all, I've just started barbecuing and have a Aldi/Gardenline mini kamado.
I have managed to lose my charcoal grate (pictured), and I had two questions.
Can I still use the mini kamado by just putting charcoal in the bottom of the fire bowl, or would that just block it up and prevent proper air flow?
And if I do need to replace it, would this (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Diameter-127mm-Thick-Circular-Finish/dp/B018K8PGI4) sort of thing work if it's the right size if I can't find an official replacement? It says it's a drain cover, but it's cast iron and has holes to allow the ash to fall through.
Any advice would be gratefully received.
