Durangutan Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Drackett Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekobo Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poochie Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
