Then, keep it at 250* and do a pork butt
Then, the sky is the limit.

$200 with the table? It’s yours, you stole it!!! Just to say what kind of cooks you’re going to be doing and start buying the eggcessories that will benefit you most. An eggspander or grid system from Ceramic Grill Store are a must though

I was able to find a Large BGE [today](https://i.imgur.com/ibgRIHO.png) with a table for a deal and have brought it home and reassembled . Its not without its issues but nothing too terrible.
1. The band/hinge is rusted out so i’ve already removed the old and put it in the recycle and my local ACE has a new band/handle kit in stock so i’ll pick one up tomorrow.
2. The grid and conveggtor plate is MIA. The owner admitted to breaking the deflector plate last year. But they do not remember what happened to the grate/grid. Could have rusted out and thrown away.
3. The cast iron chimney / damper is rock solid on the chimney and is rusting, staining the ceramic.
4. The screen door (vent door) is perished and needs replacing. 5. The fire ring is cracked but not displaced… more than a hair line but the halves have not parted (hope that makes sense). 6. Dome felt needs replacing.
Other than that its pretty solid I think. Looking forward to giving it a good bath and then lighting it.
* I need a new grid/grill/grate, are there any amazon choices worthy of a look or do I order OEM? * I like the look of the Stainless Smokeware [Vent](https://i.imgur.com/y3y1Axc.png) but is that a suckers play, should I only be looking at the newer reggulator lid/cap? Something Else? * How do I get the cast iron one off? Just light a fire an wait? * How do I get rid of rust stains on the ceramic? * Need to refinish/freshen up the table. Its solid still but is showing some weathering.
Sorry for the long post and I am grateful for any suggestions from those more knowledgeable than me.
