Scored a 2nd hand Small
To go with my Large.
$75. Woot!
Upper is about 1/4" out of alignment with the bottom (side-ways) as shown in the pic. I'll have to search here a bit to see if that can be adjusted out.
I also want to hit the DW with some naval jelly and reseason it. What do you all like to cook on a Small? I'll have to look at some Eggcessories for it.

That is an awesome price congrads

Nice score. Check out this link, and the others off of it for suggestions on your DW. There are some good alternatives to chemicals.

Nice, hard to beat that price!XL BGE - Small BGE - A few Komodo Kamado Serious Big Bad 42sFollow me on Instagram: @SSgt93

May be different on the small, but I noticed the lower band bolt is not bent by tightening. Can'gt see the top band bolt but this might be the alignment problem. Shouldn't be a problem to correct. Great buy anyway.Eggo in N. MS

Really great buy. Congrats.

Congrats that is a great deal. Don't worry about the DW just us it and at the end of each use store it on the grate and let it cool down with the egg.As far as what I cook on our small, just about anything and everything. The mini and the small are the everyday eggs the large is for big cooks and family cooks.Large, small and mini now Egging in Rowlett Tx

Cook off the rust - whoda thunk it. Thanks for the tip. I'm too lazy to scrub it out so I'll do a cleaning/derusting burn to make it mine. -
With the Small, are vent openings per desired temp about the same as with my Large? ie, 3/8" on the bottom vent ~ 225(f)?
-
Just about the same. A couple of cooks and you will get the hang of regulating temp on the small.Large, small and mini now Egging in Rowlett Tx

Great find. I got my large second hand and the DW was caked up and rusted a bit. Just took and wire brush to it and applied some cooking oil. Works great. Take it easy.

Awesome score.

Congrats on the great score!
As for what I like to cook on my small, pretty much anything that will fit! You can find some pictures of some cooking on my small & some accessories in action here: http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1137935/small-or-mini/p1

That could be the best deal I've heard of for an Egg. Congrats!! What do smalls book at ?

Per a youtube video I shimmed out top frame from the hinge with SS washers and lined up the top and bottom very nicely.
Everything was in very nice shape including the gasket. I'm doing a cleaning cook presently (came with a bag of match light and 1/2 can of lighter fluid) and I can't get it over 520(f) after 1 hr. I don't know that I'll much need to as I don't cook steak and I sear tri-tip by plopping them right down onto the coals.
What I do need is a not-to-expensive way to cook indirect on this thing for single spatchcock chickens tri-tips.

I've heard lighter fluid is a no - no on ceramic.Eggo in N. MS

I've heard lighter fluid is a no - no on ceramic.
Right - meant to imply that I did a cleaning burn to rid it of any previous sins and make it my own, though no nasty chem smells were evident.I kept it at 520 for an hour and the rust is gone enough from the DW to start the seasoning process. Oils I have on hand are peanut, sesame, olive and canola. Any better than the others?
