Greatest bit of kit for the big pig.. I grabbed it for the rotisserie, to raise the coals up, but its better than that... put the grill plate over the top and its a super fast BBQ, you can grill and rotisserie at the same time... and the extra bonus is.. if you are doing a long couple of hours cook, wrap your veges in foil... and throw them in the pigs guts.. the heat from the coals heats up the main body of the pig and works like and oven... as the coals drop thru.. plenty of heat to cook the spuds.. whispers quietly... might try it with a cast iron dish to cook bread... only limited by your imagination
