I thought I would start off tonight with a small and quick appetizer. Mushrooms stuffed with crabmeat and a little cayenne. Got a few quail as well. Haven't decide just how I want to do them yet. Hung on hooks or on the mini. image

    Thank you for the kind words. On your advice above: The mini it is then for the quail. Again thanks brother anzy.

    I say stuff the quail with the shrooms and put on the mini, but my guess is the shrooms are gone by now if I know how you like to eat :D:D

    Thank you brother Doc. I'm pretty good at coming up with ways to cook on the fly. When you grow up poor you learn fast my friend.

    I am going to see if the stock grate from my LBGE will fit like that on the Medium.  Are there particular cooks you like to use that on?

    I just re read and that is an LBGE grate, so probably too small for the Medium.  Maybe a couple metal rods across the fire ring would work as supports.

    Only on my mini. I just use it as a indirect piece until my stones arrive that I ordered. It's just a quick fix for tonight's cook. The stones or plate setter work much better my friend.

    Doc I don't really recommend this as you still can get flair ups. I will use the stones when they arrive. This is just a quick fix I came up with for tonight.

    Ah, I was thinking you were getting a benefit from a little direct, and from the radiance off the cast iron.  I occasionally use a stone from the next sized down Egg on the bottom ring of the Woo to make a quick and easy indirect spot.  I also like lighting the back of the XL and cooking on the front if it is a small enough cook, a little hard to do on a Mini.

    No my friend no advantage to using it. It's actually a disadvantage due to flair ups. Just a quick fix for tonight's cook my friend.
