Hey all you Cajun Bandit users! Are there any mods you've done or any tips/tricks you care to pass along?
I've been having a blast with mine and the Weber rotisserie/Char-Broil basket. Done a few cooks both direct and indirect, used it in a competition and got a First Place and 180 score in Chicken and did a nice low n' slow on some Babybacks and ABT's!
I thought I'd share a couple of the mods I've been playing around with and see what anyone else is doing with them?
Added a 22" WSM thermometer in the kettle lid
18" WSM charcoal ring
11" charcoal ring
Ash pan from a Sears/Weber Economy kettle
Some of the things I've noticed is that the Cajun Bandit cooks similar to my drum smokers, work fast with the lid off, temps spike then stabilize, I'm controlling temps more with the lid vent and the one touch is almost completely closed.
What's working for you Cajun Bandit users out there? I'd love to hear.
