Daisy Wheel Top

Lumpy_Coal · January 2021

First, let me say, I have BGE and Kamado Joe cookers...love them all. They both have their strengths and weaknesses. One of the things I’ve always liked about BGE is the daisy wheel control top was cast iron. This allowed for good heat cleaning and seasoning. The Kamado Joe tops, both old and new style are cast aluminium (I think) certainly not cast iron which makes them a bit trickier to clean and maintain for the long haul. I recently seen some pictures of new BGEs with a different style top, is this one also cast iron? Why the change?

Greetings-

More knowledgeable folks may weigh in here, but yes, I believe the new top is cast iron. As stated on the website it was redesigned to allow for "better airflow" and to keep rain from getting in when not in use. Here is the link to the description on their site:

I think there were several good threads on this when it came out.

Cheers,

Haha, never even thought of looking on the BGE website. Thanks. Yes it does say they are still cast iron.
