    The CI Potato setter is pure brilliant!  Usually my woo is enough for raised direct and I do not worry about a shield but that will do!

    I think in all time I've been here on this forum, this has to be my absolute favorite posting.

    Thanks Tim for the comment. It was a fun trip and you've reminded me that I'm past due on another getaway with an Egg or two!

    Thanks! I don't know about brilliant but I thought it was a good idea and as I like to tell my wife, "Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while." :D

    @SoCalTim thanks for the bump on this thread! This is awesome. The food looks great, the scenery looks great and the timing is impeccable. I just took the plunge yesterday and ordered my small. I was feeling good about this purchase but this sealed the deal for sure! Beautiful work @R2Egg2Q.

    @R2Egg2Q‌ ... Can you tell me about your setup? I'd like to duplicate what you got. The thought of being able to do potatoes while doing a tri tip at the same time sounds great. Tim

    Thanks! Unfortunately, it probably won't be this summer but maybe I can work out something for the fall.

    The set up on the tri tip and potatoes cook was a BGE Cast Iron grid (part #13CI) topped with a Small Woo from the Ceramic Grill Store (http://shop.ceramicgrillstore.com/products/Small-Woo-Ring.html) with the stock cooking grid on top (my Small is a few years old and came with a porcelain coated grid). The Woo's come with handles now but mine was purchased before they had handles. If you want to do wok cooks on the Woo the handles can limit the space for a wok and you might want to request one without handles. If you won't wok on on your Small you'll probably benefit from the handles. For most indirect cooks I normally put a 10" ceramic stone on the Woo. The "potato setter" was a way for me to cook potatoes and go indirect.

    Solid cook all around. Excellent pictures as well. Looks like y'all had a great time my friend.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    @R2Egg2Q‌ I totally didn't catch the date on the OP. Lol. Good eye there @stemc33‌
    Nonetheless it's timeless just like the mountains. I too look forward to more of these :-)

    I hiked 50 miles in Lassen as a boy scout, great part of the state. Great looking cooks too.

    In honor of Labor Day (the last 'hurrah' of summer) and for anyone going away this weekend, I'd like to bump up this post (my all-time favorite posting on this forum) for anyone who hasn't seen it.

    I wanna go here, I absolutely love not only the cook, but the visuals posted here.
