Indirect Grilling / Smoking on a Vision Kamado
Posted: 25 May 2013, 20:38
I've recently purchased the excellent Vision Kamado Grill from Costco here in the UK. It doesn't come with a stone for indirect grilling or smoking but I've managed to solve the problem and thought I'd share my solution.
Looking around the US websites, the stone supplied by Vision seems pretty pants and only allows for one configuration of smoking. I had a Weber pizza stone that I sat on the bottom rack which seemed to work, but it wasn't sitting low enough in the firebox and only allowed the upper rack for food.
I've since ordered the Kamado Joe heat deflector from the Internet which works like a charm. The stone supplied (incidentally exactly the same dimensions as the Weber pizza stone) sits lower in the firebox due to the shape of the rack that comes with it, you're then able to sit the Vision rack on top which gives you another two cooking surfaces.
