Tried your recipe tonight but I doubled the macaroni and it came out a little lighter and less cheesy but still pretty good.

New Grill Dome Infinity X2 http://grilldome.com/CMS/infinity-x2-black/

Jalapeno cheese bread smoked bacon cheeseburger patty melt.

Pecan smoked bacon.

Honey sriracha chicken on the Akorn Jr.

Father's Day rib eye and sweet corn.

The Dozyant fits and is fairly accurate. I use the Maverick if I need a precise temp but generally I don't do long low and slow cooks on Jr so I don't really need the temp to be perfect.

I know this is an old thread but the thermometer in my Akorn Jr just crapped out and I found DOZYANT BBQ Barbecue Charcoal Grill Pit Wood Smoker Temperature Gauge Grill Pit Thermometer on amazon.

I have had mold issues on my old Grill Dome in the past but it was generally because I would forget to open the vents back up after the cool-down and would not use it for several weeks. It is in a detached garage so leaving the vents wide open is not a problem. My Akorn jr is under and awning and I do the same, may still have some minor mold if you leave food residue on the grates and the weather is really humid like it always is in NWFL. https://www.grillbilliesbarbecue.com/blogs/how-tos/56250049-how-to-prevent-mold-on-my-smoker-or-grill

Should be easy to get parts once you determine the size. You could try repairing the firebox but from personal experience I would buy a new one. http://biggreenegghead.com/big-green-egg/product-information

Thank you.
