Just joined and look forward to learning from you fine people.
Mostly doing roasts in the Big Easy and smoking salmon when I have them on hand.

My first question is what the heck is a Tommy Ring?

Welcome from Houston.

Tommy (TMB) is our resident SRG and Big Easy expert and is also the inventor of the Tommy ring. He can tell you all about it and should be here soon.

I REALLY want to say that it's an item of jewelry that Kimmie has attached to one of Tommy's body parts and uses to lead him around but I'd get in trouble if I said that so I won't.

Yes that does sound painful. Hopefully it is something else

Hi Harald and welcome to the forum.   The Tommy Ring is a 4 in tall cake run that raises the basket up from the bottom this get the food out of what I call the dead zone.   See the SRG and The Big Easy heat the chamber to produce infrared to cook with.  The problem is the heat element leaves a small space that I call the dead spot ,  very little heat so by raising up the basket you get into the sweet spot    So that is the Tommy Ring in a nut shell.

Welcome aboard.  I don't have an SRG or a Big Easy, so I'm no help to you but I recalled this post that you may find useful.

Ah I see, I will have to give that a try sometime.
