Ok, so I thought I posted this earlier this AM. However, I do not see it. I screwed up somehow. Anyway, if you see that I have two posts about this same issue, I'm sorry.
So, Im going to pull the trigger on all the nifty Kettle and Kamado accessories I've seen the past few months on AR. You can see my sig, it's up to date with my equipment. My Napoleon gasser remains in mothball hibernation in the basement where it's been for about 4 years, but I'm going to recommission it this spring for the Wife and the second observation deck I finished building last spring. I want to purchase the SnS XL for my 26 along with the DnG pan. I primarily cook for the Family (me and the wife plus 9 year old twin carnivores)....mostly larger quantities to provide leftovers the remaining week, plus I have neighbors and friends who get invited alot, so the 26 was my answer to larger crowds. Is there any difference in the function of the 26 vs 22 accessories other than fuel consumption?
I am also going to pull the trigger on the arteflame 26 griddle accessory...I just have to have that.
My other question is about the Grillgrates, I see some have just one piece for over the coals of the SnS and others appear to have enough to cover the entire grill surface. Do I need to by this in 3-4 pieces, like 2 end pieces and center pieces? Any wisdom about this would be helpful.
I'm not sure about the BBQ guru type air controller units...if those are fairly essential please give me your opinions on those type units as well. I plan on doing longer 10-12 hour cooks on the Big Joe, but I can be convinced otherwise.
As for my Kamado Joe Big Joe, I really dislike the cast iron charcoal grate, I much prefer the weber type charcoal grate. Is the KickAsh basket for the Big Joe a worthy investment? Is the original cast iron designed for a specific airflow...and/or do they even make one for the Big Joe?
This accessory list is fairly open to additions at this point, budget is open as well (within reason of course). I'm not much on a rotisserie or pizza oven, but otherwise, the sky is the limit. I am interested in a good pizza stone for the 26 Kettle and the Big Joe though. Please give me opinions and any insight into anything I've missed or that I should consider. I am what my wife calls a "cheap ass", so I don't usually spend money on myself. I have one bow, deer rifle, and shotgun for hunting, a no frills fishing boat, and use the same hunting clothes/boots and gear for the past 15 years. So, I don't purchase stuff often, so when I do my wife is very reasonable with agreeing to my purchases. Thanks in advance.
