Next one will be better!
Just a learning curve thing, but each time you get better at it and will soon have it down pat and smashing them out. Well done on the first try.

I'm cranking my new Philcook up tonight and starting easy (hopefully) with pizzas. It's all ready to go with a single layer of chips in the smoke tray but can anyone advise how many heat beads to use above and below?
Still looking for @
Avo 's calculator which is in this thread somewhere.
EDIT: Here's the calculator courtesy of aussiecampovencook.com

Says 19 on top, 6 below for a baking temp of 190 degrees. Sound about right for this jigger?

I'm thinking now that for 'home-use' again reckon the base coal tray may not be needed to save on beads.
Next Pizza cook up I'll try placing it straight on top of the open BBQ gas grill direct and only utilise coals on top for the smoker plate taste sensation :-)

Hey MB did you try the bbq power to base? How did it go?
Thinking of trying a pork belly tomorrow. Any guidance greatly appreciated!
What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal??

Nah sorry Plassy haven’t tried it as yet mate. Phil seemed to think the beads would be hotter than the gas for super hot pizza cooks.
I think Rusty Nicko nailed his first Pork Belly efforts from memory mate :-)

Plassy, for sure give it a go. I have not tried it, others have suggested it might work - forge on, conquer new ground and let us know how it turns out.

Nic's turned out good, it was mine that failed. Pork belly is pretty tough to get right and I can just never seem to do it.

Yeah his pics were grouse but no details of coal loads.

What's the philosophy for pork belly? Low and slow a few hours then crank the top heat to crackle up and finish?

@Plassy, have a look at pgs 27 forward in this post string as to what Nick did - sorry took me a while to find his post.
