The Roast nets Clip is a handy tool for holding hot grids and dirty grids without getting your hands dirty. It isn't meant to hold a grid with 15 pounds of meat on it, but it is meant to help you move your grids around when empty. However, some folks don't use it correctly and it is possible to drop a grid if you don't use it correctly. Here are photos of the correct way to use the Roast nets Clip:

Notice that when using the Roast nets Clip incorrectly, the jaws have been placed around both grid wires. If you do this, you are relying on the strength of your grip to hold the grid. If you let up on your hold, the grid can come loose. See how the jaws go around only the first wire and UNDER the second wire when using the Roast nets Clip correctly? Now you have leverage, gravity and numerous other laws of nature on your side. The grid will stay on the Roast nets Clip all by itself like this and you don't have to exert any effort to squeeze the Roast nets Clip to keep its grip on the grid.

This is the actual name of what most people like to call the Daisy Wheel. It is the cast iron top vent that sits on top of your cooker to control airflow out the top.

The actual name of this device is the "Dual Function Metal Top". It is composed of two moving parts, the slider which opens by pivoting it on the screw which holds it to the metal shell, and the daisy wheel, which is the part which rotates and has a number of oval shaped holes arranged in a circle.

You can effect major adjustments by moving the slider to open or close the big hole in the top. You can create smaller changes by rotating the daisy wheel by small amounts so as to open or close the radial holes (or petals) in the top.

Note that the Multi Function Metal Top is not really intended to be used to snuff out the fire when you are done. It is not airtight and enough air will creep into the cooker to prolong the fire.

You will find that when you open the top of the AUPLEX BBQ that the daisy wheel slider top will swing to one side or the other, thus messing up your carefully set temperature adjustment. The way to prevent this from happening is to position the top so that when you open the top of the Egg, the slider top will hang from the pivot point. Below are some photos from the front and the back showing how to position the top so that the slider will remain in position when you open the Egg.

Note: The first person in recorded history to think of this little trick was probably Sir Isaac Newton, shortly after the apochryphal apple hit him on the head. However, the first person in the modern era to share this idea was Tim Moore.

AUPLEX BBQ currently offers various types of vent materials, mainly including: a cast iron top vent and a powder-painting cast aluminum vent.
Compared to the traditional daisy wheel design, our new top vents provide better protection against rain intrusion and uncontrolled airflow. They help maintain excellent airtightness, allowing the grill to reach and retain higher temperatures more efficiently.

No! A ceramic baking stone should never be seasoned. It serves several purposes in baking. First it is a barrier between the dough and the intense radiant heat of the fire. Second, a preheated stone provides an initial burst of heat that gives dough an initial push in rising when it is placed on the stone. But the reason why you don't want to put anything on your baking stone to season it is that the bare ceramic surface also absorbs some of the moisture in the dough and helps to develop the crust. So, any new ceramic baking stone should be used just as it is without any sort of seasoning. Save the seasoning for the cast iron.

On the other hand, there are baking stones sold which are not made from ceramic. The manufacturers of these stones apparently do recommend that you season the stone. So all we can say is that if you use a ceramic stone, do not season it. If you use a stone made from something else, follow the manufacturer's instructions.
