Hello all,
I've been following this web site for some time now, so I have a 32qt Vasconia pot and a Weber Smoky Joe Gold. I just ordered a Tel True thermometer from Fire Craft, it has a 4"stem, which I hope it isn't too long?.?. I've heard that they are extremely accurate, so I hope that the 4" stem won't be a problem? The lid for the Smoky Joe fits perfectly, so I want to do this whole thing right the first time! My question is, when I cut the bottom out of the pot, I leave approx 1" to 1 1/2" lip, where does the heat diffuser go, on the bottom of the pot that I cut out, or do I use the steamer insert that came with the pot, in the ridge that's near the bottom of the pot? I've read that it's good to NOT put the diffuser on the very bottom that is cut out, because of more room for charcoal?.?.
Sorry for any kind of repeat questions here!!!
