I'm going to be cooking on it again this week and I'll shoot some temps around the box just to see how and where the heat is.

I was thinking on having one ceramic coated for chits and giggles.

Welding gloves and long utensils are helpful for those items that are not skewered and need turning.

I have read, even with the diatomaceous earth type Konro's that a board is often placed between the bottom of Konro and the table or setting surface.
