Is Grout available in the green (light teal) color?

Recommended Posts

The new acrylic grout only comes in black and white.. We mix a grey. We've never grouted a grill in white.
There were some very early pre-acrylic material grills with traditional grout but very few, probably over 21 years old.
Are you sure it's not a Richard Johnson Kamado? 
Is it round with straps around the center, square legs, and round with tubes with springs near the hinge?

That's an older KK. Back in the day, there were more tile color options than now. Like Dennis said, if it was a POSK (by RJ), the legs would be square, and you would see the 2 spring rods on the rear on each side. I would know, I owned one - my first kamado grill.

Interesting. Those side spring mechanisms look weird. The Green KK I posted has a low serial number in the 200s on the inside. It must have been a very early model—or, as they say, a collector's item. ;) The unit seems well-built and heavy as hell, though the front latch doesn't work. Also, it doesn't say Komodo Kamado anywhere on the unit.

It was a good intro into cooking on a ceramic grill at the time. I chose it because of the tiles and color options, as opposed to a BGE (boring!), the only other choice at the time. It was a good grill until it started to fall apart, as almost all of them did, due to poor material selections. Hence, the oft-used moniker, POSK (Piece of Sh!t Kamado). Plus, the owner (RJ) was more of a con-man than grill manufacturer - would take people's money for grills and accessories then not deliver, plus wouldn't stand behind them once they started falling apart. And if you complained too much on their forum, you would get banned. It actually became a badge of honor to get banned there. Someone started a separate website for folks to bitch about the company and to post pics of their grills cracking and shedding tiles in large sections. 

Dennis actually moved into their old manufacturing plant in Indonesia (RJ had skipped town by then and went to Mexico) and hired many of the laid-off workers. He upgraded the materials and improved the design immensely. Many of us older POSK owners became KK owners.
