As soon as I get through the original 10 (3 left to go) I'll test KK coffee lump, Fogo Eucalyptus, and Jealous Devil. Coming soon.

Low-n-slow test for Fogo Premium Black Bag started a little while ago. I expect this to go well into tomorrow if not longer. Check out this link to the live graph. Check it now and check it again tomorrow if interested. https://sharemycook.com/Cook/Detail/6a9e4fce-2eaa-43f6-8089-74089c439d5f

That's my kind of thinking

Awesome looking ODK! Looks like a gas grill unit. I'm guessing you could yank that out of there and replace it with something different/better. Just have to figure out what to replace it with.

Not a build thread but an installation thread.

Middle GA, east of Macon but I do work down in Andersonville, GA where the Civil War prison camp is located.

And two leftover slices for lunch hit the spot - oh I'm sorry I was talking about myself - LOL

TY Bruce. It's probably my favorite pizza. Very tasty and very filling. Easy to make as it only requires a 2 hour rise so from start to serving it is about 3 hours.

Had some time off work yesterday so I made a Chicago Deep Dish Deluxe pizza for dinner in the Wood Fired Oven using a Lloyd pan. I started with a traditional Chicago Deep Dish Pizza. Half way through cooking I pulled it out and added shredded mozzarella, green peppers, and pepperoni - now it's a Deluxe version.

I would love to see how that comes out.

When I finish getting through the current 10 I might put a few others through the paces. BBQ Guys will ship Jealous Devil for free. That and the Eucalyptus. Also since Rockwood so far has been the most unstable I'd like to give that a go in the KK to see if it burns more stable in a KK.

Fantastic garden.

I like that. Very rustic looking. Would look right at home in the garden. I swear I wouldn't get another grill - LOL

Not sure if you all actually paid attention to some of the results but Marabu and Quebracho burned the least amount of lump doing the 500* test. Noticeably less. KJ Big Block was a big surprise doing 250* low-n-slow for 34.5 hours. Can't wait to run the low-n-slow on the Fogo lumps.

Until they saw the picture - LOL

Nope no Naked Reef - LOL Just a few simple tests to confirm my suspicions.

@tony b This started as a desire to compare Royal Oak (regular) to the new Royal Oak XL Cut. It quickly morphed into something a bit more. I did this on the Kamado Guru forum. I gathered together 10 different lumps that I could easily obtain and started comparing them using real life tests. All these tests were done using my Primo Oval Jr as i felt that was closer to the type of kamado that Guru members had. The individual results would be slightly different using a KK but for comparing one lump brand to the next the actual kamado shouldn't matter. Anyway it's a bit of reading and a fair number of pictures. It's all contained in the first 5 posts of the referenced thread. I'm currently in the low-n-slow tests and have gone through 6 of the 10 lumps. The last 4 are all Fogo brand lumps and I should get through those one per weekend coming up. If anyone is interested check out this link to the Kamado Guru thread. As I update it (about once a week) I'll let you all know. https://www.kamadoguru.com/topic/41864-reefs-lump-comparison/

Yea I set mine just open enough for the fan forced air to escape. We're talking 1/8 of a turn there abouts.

Take the clamp off the thermometer and put it in your spare parts box. You don't need a clamp on the inside or outside. I never installed the clamp on either of my KK's.

@MacKenzie the problem without a damper on a KK is more than just fan output. Think about how small of a bottom vent opening you have for low-n-slow. The fan opening will now be your bottom vent opening. That opening needs to be closed down fairly small otherwise when the fans not blowing you have a huge bottom vent opening. This is really just a KK issue since low-n-slow requires very minimal vent openings compared to regular ceramic Kamados. Hopefully that made sense.

Interesting color. Beautiful setting.

I didn't read that entire article but...... Lately I've been doing different low-n-slow tests using my CyberQ, a Primo Oval Jr and different brands of lump. What I'm finding so far is how stable the temperature runs has to do with the type of lump and the size of the pieces. My guess is that's true across all controllers. I still have 4 more tests to run (out of 10 total) before I'm really willing to make a conclusion. Also with a controller if it fluctuates plus or minus 10* or so who cares as long as it properly recovers.

That is a bit of a bummer. Unfortunately they designed it for standard vents that are basically credit card thick SS not a tube type arrangement. I wonder if your friend couldn't just make you a new set of wings that were longer? The pin that holds the wing spring in place is probably just pressed in. He should be able to knock the pin out, install new wings and bang the pin back in. Just a thought.

Looks great. Yes inquiring minds want to know - what is the reasoning behind pink flamingo?
