EZE Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I entered the world of kamado cooking a few months ago. I've owned kettle grills, a pellet grill, a few gas grills...and I've enjoyed learning to cook really good meat on all of them. I'm getting to know my KJ. I've done some great St. Louis ribs, thick cut chops, a long cook butt and more. I haven't mastered a good steak yet, but they haven't been terrible. It's fun going through the learning curve. This site will help me master kamado cooking faster, glad I found you. Quick question I haven't seen answered in my few days of lurking...when talking about cooking temps, do most people refer to the dome gauge or the temp at the grill surface? 250 dome temp is about 275 at the meat level according to my measurements this weekend.

ckreef Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Welcome to Kamado Guru. Some people use dome, some use grate. I would stick with one or the other for consistent results. I personally use dome but I've replaced my biometric dome thermometers with digital remote reading thermometers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZE Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 When sharing a cooking technique, say for pizza, A member will specify the recommended temp is from the dome, rather than grate? I haven't noticed that distinction in my browsing. skreef 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertyb Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 If you see me give a temp it will be from the grate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to cook pizza's on grill at high temp. Bout bout 500* or higher.but search for pizza thread.. Its loads of info. Enjoy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
