    • Yup.. Your thermometer won't let you have a failed cook. These cooking tricks are gonna work sometimes and not others. With a prime rib, I'd not chance it. I would wanna be in control of the cook rather than the clock and an analog thermometer. BE A COOK. Don't be an observer.
    • whilst???? Love our English language
    • Have to agree with len440, based on my Char Broil Kamander, I would end up cremating that prime rib!!! I often shut the kamado down and put something else in to cook whilst it "cools down" the insulation is that good.
    • Looks like the bracket will come off and make re bending it easier and less stress on the ceramics, or hold it with a pair of pliers by the round thing and bend the end with a second pair of pliers. If you do take the bracket off the bolts need a pulling force outward to keep the seriations on the bolt to engage the band and not spin. Good luck and keep us posted and your grill is WAY TO CLEAN on the inside.
    • Just a comment at 500 degrees you will have a lot of charcoal lit. It will take a while to go out and a lot of ceramics to cool down it may take a lot more time to cool down than an oven
    • If they're out of replacement brackets (happens these days) you can bend that bracket more or less back into shape with large channel lock pliers, to use the shelf while waiting. I may have spares still around from the replacements they sent me, if it will be a long time getting that replacement.
    • The only technique that I now use for cooking, whether on a grill or in the kitchen oven, relies on an external-reading food thermometer. The one that I now use was bought at Home Depot for about $35, and it happens to be "wireless," which is very handy. It shows you both the temperature of the oven [grill ...] and the temperature of the food. (Far more accurate than the thermometer on the grill itself, "which isn't ...") So, if I want "medium rare" steaks, as we prefer, I simply wait until the food reaches an internal temperature 10ºF below the target. (In this case, I pull it at 130ºF.) I now "tent it" under aluminum foil while leaving the temperature probe in. Over the next fifteen minutes or so, off the fire, the temperature will rise the final ten degrees on its own, as the thermometer will confirm. "Time to eat!" This technique gives me entirely repeatable results. Last Thanksgiving, I reliably "hit the mark" for various family members who wanted everything from "rare" to (ick ...) "well done." There never was any question: "just follow the numbers." I could confidently eat my salad while keeping one eye on the wireless display. Note that I do not attempt to "sear" anything on the grill. I do that, when requested or when called for, in a cast-iron skillet on my kitchen stove, using a temperature-tolerant oil such as coconut oil. (No, the food does not then taste like coconuts.) First I sear it, then I grill it. Works every time. Repeatable.
