Are you ready for this? Cooked one russet baked potatoe, wrapped in tinfoil, plus one bulb of garlic, wrapped in tinfoil, plus two chicken thighs (indirect) all at the same time...with ease on my mini. Made my lid out of tinfoil 7 by 9 container. Used a wood dowel off an old little wok lid. Note: Used three tinfoil containers pushed together to give the lid some body. It took ten coals. Had the potato and garlic on for a half hour, then on went the chicken. Half hour later everything was done perfectly. Should have taken a pic of the food. By the way, I think I could have gotten away with eight coals. My probe was reading 400 degrees. I love this little thing. Definitely, going in my fire kit for camping. Looks like I finally found a homeboy that is small and works! Believe me, I have eight or nine different kinds of camping grills and stoves. I feel like a collector, or worse, a hoarder! What I’m trying to say is I have paid the dues with camping gear and I know when something fits right into the cut. I’m a solo truck camper type. This is perfect for me. I think my lid works great. Punctured a hole with my probe into the side of the lid. It’s hard to keep it under 400 degrees with the lid on. But, that’s ok. My chicken was over the indirect side so It didn’t burn it. Check THIS out: Put a russet potato naked on the indirect side. Covered with lid and 45 min later a perfect baked potatoes with CRISPY SKIN! Just the way I like them. I’m experimenting, like closing off the holes on the charcoal side to keep the heat down. I cut a piece of chicken wire to form a little V, then wrapped it in tinfoil that fits up against the charcoal side holes wall. It worked to separate it down the middle for indirect cooking. You can also just pile the coals up on one side and not go through the hassle of making a tinfoil V separation barrier. It’s not a smoker. I’m not that adventurous, but for grilling like you do on a Weber, this grill can do it all in a mini version. Having much fun wiring this little jewel.
