To celebrate the Lunar New Year, and in an effort to try new things, I cooked orange chicken with lemongrass. Very happy with how it turned out, will be wok cooking in the summer using the Minimax for sure. Big thanks to @Photo Egg for pointing out why I shouldn't be using a non-stick wok, going to get a "proper" one and get it seasoned.

    Nice meal and great photography. 
    Coleman, Texas
    Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
    "Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"

    The MM is a great wokking machine. Beautiful meal and photos. Can you please share the recipe?

    I don't have the minimax but that seems like an odd grate/ring arrangement. Don't you want that wok down near the heat?

    looks fantastic. We'll try this cook here tomorrow thanks!!

    That picture is when it's simmering, which is the second stage of the recipe. Before that when I was stir frying it was much lower. Have a look at this post, bearing in mind that the pictures are of a non-stick wok which I now realise is a bad thing :):

    I created that setup simply because I'm on the wrong side of the pond for CGS products, I think they sell a spider or woo ring or something that can do that. I believe that someone here in a previous post said they put the CGS item up one way for high heat stir fry and then the other way to simmer ... @RRP maybe?

    Postal service no longer crosses "the pond"?  :) If you need something from US shipped, just ask!  I and maybe others can assist.

    Nice cook!

    It does indeed still cross the pond, and I've been talking to CGS about the possibility of getting stuff shipped here, really helpful people. However it's a bit expensive in terms of shipping. As we are visiting the USA again in June this year I'm going to look into getting some stuff shipped to one of our locations. We're going out with two suitcases each in readiness to bring back BGE kit. :D

    @MaskedMarvel if you do make it please let us know how it went.
