I’m looking forward to seeing more of your new cooks- they look well prepped.

Of course! I just cooked up these chicken wings for lunch. The secret is high temp 450-500 and cook them high in the dome for the radiant heat off the dome, makes them crispy every time!

Yes, we do love arrival pixs and unpacking pixs.

I will definitely post pictures.

Olive/Gold is a great choice.

Wow! Your grills are stunning!

Big Joe and a small oval, a good arsenal but the KK just might put them into early retirement. 

The small grill is a BGE MiniMax. Awesome for camping/transporting. The KK will replace that on my back patio and the BGE will find a place in the garage dedicated for transporting. I have a feeling one day a larger KK may replace the Big Joe. But until then I will be really set with the Big Joe and hopefully the 21” soon. Admittedly I’m not patient... hoping Dennis gets back to me soon. Lol.

Hello, my name is Forrest. I’m probably one of the youngest forum members at 25. I have become super involved with Kamado style cooking the past year and have absorbed as much knowledge as possible.
 
I’ve had different grills along this journey but I’ve ended up with a Kamado Joe Big Joe. Although I believe the Big Joe is a top of line ceramic grill I see numerous advantages in the refractory cement grills that Dennis is building. I believe they are the finest Kamado style cooker in the market.
 
The added insulation, further reduced airflow, hinge mechanism without the need of bands, airflow controls/dampers, all of the 304 stainless steel, integrated base with wheels, and the sheer beauty. Damn KK’s are the Rolls-Royce of grills/smokers/outdoor cookers in general.

I have saved up money for what I think will be a perfect sized KK for me. I have decided on the 21” and have my eyes set on the olive/gold pebbles. I talked with Dennis a week ago and he said he was going to sort pebbles for a 21” grill and send me picture. I find it kind of tough to get ahold of KK but I’m waiting patiently to hear back and patience is worth the level of personal customer service you receive from KK. Dennis gave me some tips on the bacon cook below.
 
I will share some photos of my cooks/Kamado experience. Can’t wait to add a KK to the stable. Cheers!
