 Like it a lot. P.M. sent.
 It needs another smaller size rack to hold a diffuser or a smoker water pan. Tabs are already there for it. If you use small lump charcoal then you need a charcoal grate from a 22in Weber kettle to go at opposite angles on the kamado grate. If you use briquettes then you don't need that. I'm shocked at how little charcoal it uses. Close it up and it stops burning really quickly.
It's on wheels so it moves easy but also has a wheel lock. Highly recommend.

Weber 7441 as bottom grate, ( 22 in weber charcoal grate)
14 in round griddle as diffuser.
Chargriller also makes a ceramic diffuser stone but the grate & griddle are more versitle.

Well, I found out why you shouldn't use a pizza stone for a diffuser. I had a 16 inch stone for the second rack along with a pan of water on it when I smoked ribs today. Go out to check and the stone had broke in two places, fell into the coals along with the water which by then had rib drippings in it. The flames were high but didn't hurt the ribs thankfully. The broken pieces blocked the flames. I put the ribs on a baking tray and continued cooking. I've got to pick up a second metal rack and a deep-dish metal pizza pan before my next cook. Anyhow......the ribs were tasty after all this, and that's all that matters. It's called a learning curve.

Always learning too. It never ends
