Durangutan Posted November 22, 2021 Report Posted November 22, 2021 Hello BBQ and Kamado enthusiasts! It’s a new useless guy checking in. I’ve never cooked on a Kamado but I took an interest their versatility some time ago. I didn’t have to research much before I decided that I wouldn’t bother with one until I could get a Komodo. My curiosity recently piqued again so I’ve been lurking a bit and thought it polite to say “Hello” so the ice is broken should I get to a point where I can ask an intelligent question or two. Many thanks for the wealth of information I’ve so far gleaned here! 1
D.Drackett Posted November 22, 2021 Report Posted November 22, 2021 I am still learning and it is already cold in Idaho. We have a pavilion with all my barbecue equipment out there. It has a huge fire pit, three cookers and shelves of paraphernalia with canvas covers and Velcro, but when it gets too windy, the Traeger by the kitchen door gets more use. 1
tekobo Posted November 22, 2021 Report Posted November 22, 2021 Welcome @Durangutan. I was once a new useless girl checking in who had never used a kamado and had only rarely barbecued. I now love my KKs and use them whenever I can. Get stuck in. Half the fun is in the deciding and waiting and then, when you finally get a KK (or two) of your own ALL the fun is in the cooking and looking. 3
MacKenzie Posted November 23, 2021 Report Posted November 23, 2021 Welcome, Durangutan. Once you get your KK there will be no looking back, not only is it a piece of art but the taste of your food moves to the next level. 2

I built a pavilion a number of years ago also, in part, to shelter the cookers. Screened in, it is also a terrific outdoor refuge from the mosquitoes! 1
Poochie Posted November 26, 2021 Report Posted November 26, 2021 I'm in Louisiana and we're considered the mosquito capital of the world here. A little smoke seems to drive them away. You'll never regret your purchase of a KK...no matter what size or color you get. And people here are always ready to help with any questions you might have. 1 1
