Skagg2000 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 So my lad has had the Mini Chef Kamado for a few weeks now, we have added pizza stone / heat deflector & a 5mm steel Plancha / heat deflector. So he has plenty of cooking options. He's played around with it, but what do you guys actually cook on yours? I'm a bit lost on recipes that he can cook & feed three. I'm used to loading the smoker & cooking for the masses so to speak. Are they any sites / forums you can point to that give recipes for the Mini style Kamados? Perhaps this would be a good place to start a thread on your chosen recipes, experiences or ideas? Cheers n Gone Nick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoogl Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I picked up one of these and finally used it for the first time last weekend. On both occasions I did steak and peppers. I look forward to seeing what others have done. do you have links to the accessories? I do want to get myself a deflector so I can do a bit of smoking as it's only me and the gf so feel it's a bit much to always fire up the 22" WSM.

Icefever Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Same as @hoogl just the two of us, so I find it easy to do any meats on it. Steak tonight, pork loin chops tomorrow, I sometimes wrap a couple of spuds in foil there's just enough room on the grill. I have had an idea of making a double grill plate just so it fits with the lid down, steaks are only a couple of inches, put them on the lower rack and what ever else you want on the top???

tedmus Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 There is a budget kamado owners group on Facebook, plenty of people on there own the Grillchef one, various mods for deflectors and extra grill space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pizza stone was cut down from a large stone with a diamond disc & the plancha was cut out for me by a local metal fabricator with a plasma cutter for a tenner. Detail on both on the Lidl Kamado thread Cheers N Gone Nick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skagg2000 Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 I forgot he has also cooked Lamb Provencale on the Mini Kamado using this recipe from barbeque-smoker-recipes which was very nice. https://www.barbecue-smoker-recipes.com/barbecue-lamb-provencale.html Cheers n Gone Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
