I bought a BBQ Dragon recently but I'm not clear on the technique to using it. I'm mainly using to get up to temp for pizza oven and for reverse sear temps. I was wondering from anyone who has
one: where exactly do you mount within proximity to the fire, how close, how long do you run it for, and at what speed?
It's basically just a fan to get the fire going. I consider mine to be one of the best gadgets I have. Check out the videos on YouTube for some tips. https://www.youtube.com/user/barbecuedragon/videos
Scotch: Current favorite- The Arran (anything by them), Glenmorangie 12yr Lasanta, sherry cask finished. The Balvenie Double Wood, also like Oban 18yr, and The Glenlivet Nadurra (Oloroso sherry cask finished) among others. Neat please.

I typically hold mine in my hand to boost lighting charcoal when needed, I don't often mount it to the kettle or anything. I rarely use it more than 30 seconds at a time. I also use mine occasionally on my stickburner if it needs the air into the firebox. In those cases I'll mount it and blow it on low as long as needed. It will also push itself on a skateboard, cool your coffee, and dry up urination accidents on your pants. Lol.
Reverse sear on my BGE... To bake at 225° I mount the steak up high above a small fire. When the steak reaches 115° IT I invert the grate to get the steak close to my lump coal to sear it. I blast the lump for about 1 minute with the BBQ Dragon. All is good.👍
W.A. ... Amazon. Look for Grill Dome grate extender. They have various sizes to use on different size cookers. Mine for my large BGE is 12 1/4" across & 3 1/2" high.
Thank you for the feed back. I use the divide and conquer I got with my big Joe with one grate high and the other low over the fire. Looks like your grate might be closer to fire. Maybe that is the key
Yes... Closer to the fire is good for searing. I could have got that grate lower if I wanted to. Notice the notches in the fire ring. I could have put the legs of that grate in those notches and lowered it another inch.
