I upgraded

Well I decided to try out Komodo Kamado.  I can't wait to get these guys dirty!!!

Got both of these?  Nice. Still have eggs also?  Why to KK?  Great product just curious. For myself my next cooker will be a stick burner reverse flow large enough for comp & catering.

Those are so nice, I'd almost hate to GET em dirty.. Very classy!

husker, I went with the 23" and the 32".  I am going to keep my others for now, but not too sure about their future.  I am not a stick burner type.  I prefer kamado cooking and wanted the very best.  In all of my research there has never been an issue with one grill.  I looked everywhere... these things are tanks built to last

@bosco0633 no doubt KK is the Bentley of the Komado cooker world. Enjoy my friend. 

bosco0633

Congrats and very, very nice.  Interested in your review as compared to a BGE after a few cooks.

@bosco0633   Wow, you went all out in stereo.  Enjoy!

bosco0633

I think the biggest difference that I have read about is insulation compared to a ceramic.  A KK is refectory cement and has a two piece firebox, guaranteed to never crack.  

Also it is wrapped in a thermal wrap, aero gel and a few other goodies to increase its R value.  The grout process has special designed elements in it to all increase R value.  They say this is the most over engineered cooker on the market.

I will give you a review once I get going on them!!

Very nice- congrats. Can't wait to hear your opinions and see some cooks.  they look amazing.

bosco0633

thanks wolfpack.  I hope that they are as great as I have read!!  I will definitely post some cooks on the forum if I am still welcome!!

Very nice!  I have seen them and the dealer could not answer my question about controlling the temp with the "daisy wheel".  To open it, you have to unscrew it but you don't have any visual reference as to how much it is open so how do you get consistent temperature settings? 

bosco0633

I asked the same question. It is about the amount of rotations when opening.  Because the air flows 100% through the charcoal basket, these require far less opening of vents.  The owner, Dennis sends a chart with suggested settings for certain temps.  The guys that own them use 1/8 to a 1/4 spin for example for low and slow.  Just like the daisy wheel, you get use to the settings and it is common settings like before.  Now you just need to know the number of spins instead of how far open you leave your holes

Congrats on the purchase. I have a friend that has one, it is one heavy dude! You and your family will enjoy them, for generations to come.

bosco0633

what one does he have??  From what I hear the 32 is almost 1000 lbs.  It think the 23 is in the 5 to 600 lbs. range.

Never heard of them before.  How much?

To say I'm a little jealous would be a understatement. Very nice hope you enjoy them. If I ever win the lottery maybe I could get 1 of them.

Google it. It might be two or three more lives for me before I own the 32

I hear ya there DoubleEgger. Hey, I could win the lottery or choose for my child not to go to college. All joking aside. I'm looking forward to hearing about its performance. Happy Cooking bosco0633!

Very nice! 

rmercier

Holy sh!t!

Ozzie_Isaac

Nice!  Looking fwd to some more cooks from you, now with added class!!

bosco0633

Thanks guys.  I love Kamado cooking and really wanted to give these a go.  

They are expensive but right timing for me.  For those interested Dennis does offer financing now for his grills.  

Had ad this been an option when I purchased I may have financed it over a few months.

Great addition ... love them for the quality of the lump basket alone.  @Tinyfish bought one this past July, but haven't seen him posting since then.  Please don't leave like that ... show us some cooks.
