Its taking time but I seem to be getting better with Roasting joints or birds.
The heat shield takes the fierceness of the radiated heat away and playing with oven floor temperature ( laser thermometer)the heat shield and the door seems to be getting more consistent heat.
I still need to light the fire preferably 6 hours in advance to get the oven evenly warm and then monitor it for the last two hours before cooking to get the temperature right by bringing it up with door almost closed and judicious amounts of fuel or leaving the door off to drop the temperature a bit or in extreme cases remove embers or burning logs.
I bought a Maverick Wireless BBQ & Meat Thermometer from Amazon with a wifi readout, this saves a lot of time as you can leave the probe in place in the joint while cooking and sit in the house and monitor the temperature.
See www.amazon.co.uk/Garden-Maverick-Range-Digital-Wireless-Thermometer/dp/B00FOCR4UI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1449513724&sr=8-2&keywords=maverick+thermometer
I also bought the 6ft lead and probe to go with it. It works well.
Conclusion for Roast Joints :
The WFO is great for Beef, Lamb and Duck as well as roast potatoes and Yorkshire puds.
I am getting better at Pork but still struggling
The family prefer chicken from the AGA but I am working on this!
