    Looking good! Nice work.
    I fired up the mini tonight for lamb patties. Then made gyro samitches with the patties. ooooyeah...good stuff. The mini works the same as my large with raised grid and homemade plate setter. I can do anything..just on a smaller scale. I can cook 250 eight hours straight or 700 for a fast sear then back down again to roast at 350. Setups make all the difference.
    I love my mini.

    Did you have the egg stabilized before you left, if so for how long? How much lump did you put in?

    On the mini - I can get about 3 to 4 hours at 350° - 400°. Lump filled to top of fire box.

    With that amount of lump I can't get much higher than 450° - 500° and that is with lower vent wide open and not DFMT.

    If you meant 1/16" I would expect 250° or so.

    I still would expect the DFMT had changed.

    I needed to make some kind of indirect setup for my mini so I looked at the large plate setter, made a scaled down drawing of it onto a BGE pizza stone and then I cut to the lines using a right angle grinder with a masonry disc. Filed and sanded the edges so it felt good in the hands. Lots of dust, lots of work but...I got me a plate setter.

    If BGE offered a plate setter for the mini I think they would sell quite a few. Perhaps they don't realize that the mini is very capable, that they think of it as a 'novelty' hamburger and hot dog grill only.
    Anyhow, I got a plate setter and I use it often.
