Phlashster Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 Put the pivot point at the front. That helps. Once you get a few smokes into it, it gunks up a bit and is less free moving. Others have drilled out the rivet and replaced with a nut and bolt. Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It slipped in when i was reaching for a packet of digestives. Original price £175, reduced to £140, now on clearance to £90. Worth a play at that price. These are a Morrison's special order, so La Hacienda don't have spares. I am not too fussed. Other places have spares and accessories for this size. It is a 33cm grill, so a couple of inches bigger than the Lidl/Aldi mini Kamado recently sold. Nice thick bars on the grills, stainless too. It comes with a deflector plate, secondary grill and ash tool. Mine was undamaged and fitted together well. I am not sure that the bolts will stay done up for long so will be mindful to check often. Its ruddy heavy, made me put a bit of a sweat on assembling and moving it. No time to play tonight, I am working away as of 5am. I will update this thread once something has been cooked/cremated. Now that's a pretty little thing. I do like a scarlet lady 😳 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a fan of chicken drumsticks (much prefer wings) but they're always a good place to start with a new bbq. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skagg2000 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Macs bbq have a good recipe on there website for a first time cook on a smoker with a chicken. A large £3.99 chicken from Lidl could be your weapon of choice if your not to fussy on where the meat was sourced. Of course it's geared to a ProQ but I'm sure will translate to a Kamado style cooker Cheers n Gone Nick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
