    vision ceramic kamado grill

    Hi,  this is just a bit off topic but this seems to be the most active forum for the Visions Grill.  I have one of the Classic B series that i have had for 4 or 5 years and love it.  But, i am hoping one of you can help.  When i have it set up for smoking with the heat diffuser / lava stone in...

    Where can I buy an adjustable metal top vent for my Kamado?

    If the ones from visions fit, they are generic stainless or black iron with no logo, but with a small grinder or file and a can of high temp black spray paint, i think that you could probably even "genericifi" one from BGE

    Where can I buy an adjustable metal top vent for my Kamado?

    vision ceramic kamado grill

    I agree, the Visions is a great piece of equipment.  i have had some problems with burning the gasket at high temps and have had to replace it.  i just could not get the top and bottom aligned right and the gasket would leak, creating a hot spot that would burn....

    Hot n' Fast Pork Shoulder

    Horizonal Offset Smoker Mods

    I realize that it has been quite some time since this thread was active, but i do have a followup question.  Does anyone see a problem with making the tuning plates and the deflector out of quarry tile; the same tile that many people use for their pizza stones?

    apple chunks

    Thrifty Token, That is a great list, i have printed it out and it now lives in my permanent smoking binder.  Here in the west most of the fire wood is pine or other conifers.  Fruit wood is a bit more rare so we hold onto what we find. thanks again. vl

    hi all, i have been lurking in the background watching the forum for a while.  i recently inherited a NB black diamond, and have been trying it out.  I have never used a smoker before, so am working out some kinks.  at this point, the biggest problem that i am having is getting enough heat.  i...
