Old pizza stone or even tray will be fine. Thats all I'm using, although I probably should wrap it in foil to make cleanup from drips easier.StoneX wrote: I didn't get a deflector yet, am I able to just use an old pizza tray for a low temp indirect cook tomorrow? It'll only be 100-120C to slowly get a lamb rack up to temp before searing the fat cap.
Thanks. I have a pizza stone but don't want to risk cracking it. I'll organise a stainless steel plate from a friend who works in the metal industry for a deflector that I won 't have to worry aboutWarmBeer wrote: Old pizza stone or even tray will be fine.

I think you'll actually find that's a guide for the bottom ash collector to sit in. Unclip your ash collector, drop it about a cm, bring it forward towards the front of the cooker, and then it will easily lift up, and you can slide it back into place.stm wrote: One concern I had was, when fitting the ash tray (the bottom section), the s/s bracket really pushes up against another s/s bracket in the bottom of the fire box. Seems like something could snap here, or is this normal to provide tension against the clips holding it up?
Now just to get cooking!
The D&C stone will probably fit, but I don't know if the split trivet would. Saying that, a generic $8 pizza stone does a great job as a deflector, and would save you around 80 bucks in the deal. Just put the stone in while the charcoal is coming up to temperature, not once the oven is already hot.Maverick wrote:Just posted in the roll call - I've got a Dragon coming my way this evening!
I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if the Kamado Joe Divide & Conquer stone/deflector (the split one) will fit/work in the Dragon Kamado? Is it worth spending the money on a split stone or just go for a regular full circle stone?
Also, just so I can get started easily, what is required to season/burn off these bbq's? Will just a can of spray oil be enough or is something else recommended/required?
Thanks
