Top Vent on Imperial Kamado
Is there a reason why they were made of heavy thick cast iron?
Designed to retain the heat better or? Asking because I just scored an original IK #3 off Craigs and want to get familiar and see if its all that. The included original pottery lid although cracked is still useable, but I bought a SS dog dish from Walmart and will attempt to fabricate my own cheap daisy wheel, lol. Replies welcome! Thx Last edited by weezzer; 07-29-2021 at 01:29 AM.. |

Probably because they were cheap to mass produce and won't break as easy.

thanks.
can anyone suggest a makeshift heat deflector? Don't want to spend the $ for one yet if I can use what is around the house. Thinking screen splatter shield inches above lump topped with a water filled pie pan for juices? Or maybe expanded metal cut to fit topped with foil? |
