No, I haven't, and I need to. I can't say that I can totally just set it
and forget it, I still keep an eye on it, but... if I go without water,at
least the temp stays more consistent. Worst part is when I do an overnight
cook and when the sun comes up it starts heating it up. I don't have a
garage or anything like that to put it in, so... Definitely gonna try the
sand though. And, like I said, I can get the temp up to close to 600deg, so
I'm hoping to put some tile in, or something anyway, to use as a place to
put pizza, and see what it'll do for that.
