Heres a How to calibrate video if it is off

Mine has warped on both the Classic and Big Joe and its a non issue, the weight of the D&C holds it down. I wouldn't worry about it

I have had my Classic 1 for 4 years now and it has been rock solid, the only warranty claim I have filed on it was for the Firebox, other then that I have changed the gasket once, No need for any hacks just loosen the bands and the hinge get the dome to sit flat and re-tighten and you should be good to go

Between work and my commute i leave at 4:15am and return anywhere between 4:30 pm and 5:30 and I cook on my Kamado's at least 3 weekdays a week, What I do is have my kamado filled and ready the night before and have my wife lite it while im on the road so its good and hot when I get home, What makes this possible is having multiple Kamado's (Big Joe, Classic and Jr.) I try to keep cocks under an hour so Im usually cooking things like Burgers, Brats, Tri-Tips, Chops, Steaks or Taco's

The cover I bought is the Grill Dome small cover, It fits perfect. Picture shown I got off FB but is exactly what I have https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004JF60DS/?coliid=I2HCWZPB7B6O57&colid=3O1P5476JZKXI&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

Green beans work too

At this point get a rib rack but for future cooks you might look into getting the XL rig from the Ceramic grill store, you can get up to 9 racks of ribs lay flat

350 till the internal temp hits 125 then I let it stand for 20 min, as far as the time goes I really dont keep track of that but I think it was around 2 hours

I make an Au Jus gravy by cooking Prime rib on a rack over a pan of cut carrots, onions and Red Potatoes with some beef broth

Interesting Idea but I think Ill wait to see if it actually gets past the kick starter stage

My favorite way to do Chuck is in the recipe section by DerHusker, Its awesome

I use a couple of storage cabinets I bought from Home Depot, they were $60 each at the time

i would take the new Red one and look for parts to keep the Black one going https://www.stove-parts-unlimited.com/kamado-joe-classic-grill-parts/
