Was waiting for the BGE but the target deal came up in the forum last week and I couldn't resist at that price!

    Congrats on the new cooker!!  They all cook no matter what the color is.  Can't wait to see some cooks from your new Kamado.

    Full salute, they are all made out of mud in the end. Time to get that pretty cooker dirty. Feed it lump and out comes grub.

    Will be interested to read your likes and dislikes on this one. Think they sold the same thing at Costco this year

    Yes they did, so far very happy putting it together. After reading other forums i figured out you need to take extra gasket and go around the top under the top lid an extra time, and once around the door on bottom. Did both and am really happy. For anyone who doesn't have one, I couldn't recommend the Looftlighter more, it is awesome! and our local Ace Hardware is stocking them

    Remember- within reason it's not the cooker, it's the cook.  Congrats and welcome aboard.  Enjoy the journey.
    And very perceptive "First Kamado".
