Installed a Brinkman thermometer, we'll see how accurate it is

Cut out the bottom of the pot and put a charcoal grate from an 18.5 kettle in the bottom

And a base to a pot as the diffuser.

Nice job. I have to finish the one I started a couple of months ago. I already cut the bottom of the pot out, bought the 18.5" charcoal grate and clay saucer, thermometer and stainless steel hardware to put it together. I have been procrastinating on making a charcoal basket instead of just using what I have.

After I built mine, I cooked on it so much that Mrs ~t~ asked if I was going to sell the Eggs.

So, what's your opinion on which is "better"?

Very nice! I want one to take camping.

Nice job. Don't forget to wrap that clay diffuser in aluminum foil before you use it.

Any tips on what to use for a charcoal basket/ring?

I've had mine go for over 11 hours at 250. I get a longer burn without the basket I made for it, maybe it's too small.

Good looking cooker!

I took the quick and easy route out on mine and modified the weber baskets to fit.

You can see them here.

to me they are about the same. temps, ash buildup, burn times, all are pretty close to each other. i got the gold because of the handle that locks the lid closed for storage. makes it better for taking camping.
