  1. Looks tasty! Do you have a wok rig for your BGE?

  2. No rig necessary. Regular wok sitting on the grid, hold the handle, no heat on the hands...works fantastic, no rig or ring required. You don't have to be on top of the coals, you just go high heat and it works just fine.

  3. Nice cook. I like that orange dipping sauce, that could be used several ways.

  4. Thanks! I've been looking at using my existing wok in the BGE but I thought I'd need a way to get it closer to the heat. I'll have to give it a try on the grid.
