Cool, looks like a good score. I'm guessing the person you bought it from barely used it? Looks almost pristine on the inside.
suspect I need to be even more militant with the top vent.
My kamado has a slightly different top vent than the big green egg but opening the vent by just a couple of millimetres will shoot temp up 10 degrees at a time. For the 95c (205f) needed for pulled pork etc I barely have the top vent open at all, the fan will do pretty much all of the work to keep temp.
