Tip Top Temp Test

Quote from Urban Griller

Open the TTT knob to full open

Drop into a pot of simmering water, add a squirt of dishwashing liquid.

After half an hour scoop it out and scrub with an old toothbrush

Now polish the rest off with Barkeepers Friend

Cleaned up alright, though I found out after I started that I was out of barkeepers friend. I substituted powerful brewery wash (which I think is sodium percarbonate) at 40g/3L.

Pic after the boil and then later after the tooth brushing. Recommendation to anyone else: buy a cheap stockpot (maybe the kmart $15 15L) and dedicate it to the task, rather than having to clean creosote off a good pot (it builds up around the boil line).

Since I'm taking pictures and it's clean for a change, an alternate mounting solution for the dragon (and maybe akorn). I tried platesetters but they're kind of fiddly and I wanted to remove it every cook as it's out in the weather.

I bought the BGE adapter silicon band.

Removed the daisy wheel (not really necessary as the band will fit over the top of the daisy wheel also, but it annoys me when it closes on a lid open/close as I don't always notice).

Fitted it over both, then used the original ttt band to tighten it around the ttt itself. At the end of a cook I pull it off and then just sit the daisy wheel on top to close off the vent.
