I have seen this idea on The hangers are over the door hangers made from Stainless Steel, and a sauce pan lid, could use a shallow cake tin, terracotta saucer 

Thats a great idea. Im gonna get me some!

welcome winginIt to the forum.

Before i got my kamado i had no intentions of getting one of the mini kamado's....but nearly a year in and I can defo see the appeal for it.🙂.....I have not told my wife yet about getting a smaller one though🤔

Thanks AdamG, I'm happy to have found such a down to earth BBQ forum. 

Luckily my wife really enjoys all the food I cook on it so she generally gets excited too when I show her the next toy. 

The lidl addition was an easy sell given the price and talk of camping.

After some internet research about exploding terracotta, I did some blue Peter style crafting.

Given the great price of the kamado, I didn't want to eclipse the price with expensive accessories. 

After reading the post higher up about using sand. I had a dig around the house and found an appropriately sized cake tin.

I used some old skewers to bend hooks so the tin hangs into the firebox and leaves a nice gap for airflow. 

I'll fill it with sand and probably wrap it in foil to keep it all together. 

Will report back after my next low and slow.

9.05 inch. £2.80. (Weirdly more than twice the price of a larger one!)

Hi Phil, 

You got any pics of what it looks like on the grill?

Did you drill any holes? 

How does it sit in/ on the firebox?

Keen to try this myself but not sure how it would need to sit
