Got a Thai charcoal cooker

Tish, I've put it on a stainless table. I felt the table top after cooking on it and it was fairly warm but not too hot to touch. I had considered putting in on a piece of porcelain tile or raising it up on ceramic feet (from my Egg) but found it unnecessary on the metal table. I think I would raise it or protect the top of a plastic or maybe wood table but it might be overkill. I'll try to remember to get a temp reading off the bottom using my IR gun on next use.

Hate to bump this post after 3 weeks but I finally got around to doing a little cooking on it again and took some readings off the bottom of the cooker with an IR gun and the hottest temps I got off the bottom was around 150 degrees. Not too bad.
 
Great looking cooker John! I missed this post the first time around, thanks for the info. :thumb:
 
I wish I knew about those in our last place, since we had a glass-top stove top (blech). Now that we have gas, the wok is back out of retirement!
