Use the cast iron grates from the hibachi ontop of the normal grate as cheapo craycort replacement ;) That's what I use anyways. Makes excellent grillmarks on the GA. Now, how do people actually use the GA? I just mainly fill it up halfway, all coals banked to either left or right side. Always...

Hi George, Hmm that is a bit of a hazard indeed. Then I'll need to figure out a different way of fixing most of the added "ventilation".

Hi Guys, I've tried some searching, but couldn't quite find satisfactory threads. If and when you guys do know of good threads, do point them out! Anyways, as stated: damage repair. I bought a CGA last year, and it's rather dinged up. Dents all over the place. The lid won't close smoothely...

Wasn't this a perfect mate to the mini wsm too? Ikea Variera (dutch link) http://www.ikea.com/nl/nl/catalog/products/70154800/

Just as a question, did you ask your friends and all that did manage to make the smokey flavoured burgers to flip a burger on your grill, just to rule out a difference of grill? (And ofcourse, try to see what his process is and what's so different about yours). Ofcourse, this might be a moot...

I Remember a couple of nice threads about smokey joe mods, should have bookmarked them but google was so kind as to assist in finding at least a couple of 'm back. http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?6462-Smoking-With-Smokey-Joe http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?3898-My-crack-at-a-SJS-Smoker Some...

Nice! Love the sunbeam you got there too George. My old folks have one too, many a happy chicken was grilled on that one during holidays :D

Hmm, what about making pizza's on the smokey joe?

Guess I'll give it a go once it's been removed from the caravan. Saving up for a purpose built CI grate too in the meantime :D (my previous reply is actually based on scouring this forum for nice little bits of info on everything, including CI grates)

Thanks to you guys :mad: I've now put a smokey joe cast iron grate on my wishlist :cool: My dad used to have a nice 60's or 70's double and single hibachi with cast iron grates (andwell, the things weighed a ton, so must have been cast iron all out, they don't make 'm like that anymore), and...

Wow, awesome idea! I kinda use the same idea for the SJS, to guide the air through the coals, by covering most of the grate (like certain other mods on this board), for low'n'slow, but never thought of using the baffle/guider idea for hot'n'fast cooking. Say, since you're from Hong Kong/Hong...

Looking forward to your results :D Pizza's on the bbq are always nice to see :D I'll have to try some myself too, been busy getting some ridiculous dough prepared, but it is at a standstill right now. Trying to recreate this guy's recipe: http://www.varasanos.com/PizzaRecipe.htm

Looking forward to the article Chris.

Hmm, I think you can still use wood, but charcoal/briquettes should work equally well to get the high temperatures and could be much easier to use and handle than wood. The main thing you need for pizza's is a pizza stone.

That's my understanding too, I thought there was an article about it on the virtualweberbullet.com main site, but can't find it now. So I probably saw it someplace else. The main idea is to smoke it first for 2-3 time units, then foil it up with some applejuice or some other kind of...
