mctoo Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Looks like Viking is trying to enter the high end Kamado game. At $3600 it costs more than a KK and doesn't look nearly as nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeDJ16 Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 It has actually been around for a while and is pretty small for the price. -=Jasen=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNakedWhiz Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 It's a Primo Cooker encased in SS. Rumor has it that at night it will run around on it's own saying "EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!" What a ridiculous product.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanny Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Looks kinda like Tin Man from Oz. Hmm. If it only had a heart... C4? Does that mean it blows up now and then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curly Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 I've seen them around for awhile, but never realized they were THAT MUCH. Good gravy man, what are they thinking. Someone posted a site recently that had stainless tile...that would look better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firemonkey Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Did you see the price on the stainless tile. It was more than the Viking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curly Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Did you see the price on the stainless tile. It was more than the Viking! No I didn't...but a tiled KK would be worth more than that Viking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruz Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Next on the list: An 80,000 BTU stainless grill encased in ceramic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobkat Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Looks like something used to sterilize medical instruments...or make beer. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't underestimate the difficulty and labor to get that stainless to make those curves! If it were easy I would have had a hammered copper unit many moons ago.

That fella's been spending his time hammering out these Primo's...didn't have time for that single unit you ordered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerard Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 wow' date=' i guess now you CAN shine a turd...[/quote'] Ahem. The "turd" in question is a very good cooker. I have two. I would not pay the extra 2k for the SS but the conventional round Primos are excellent. If I had need of another cooker and weren't smitten with the kk, I would buy a Primo Oval in an instant. So there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porkchop Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 i'd considered the primo oval b4 coming here. not really meaning to go off on them in particular. more a jibe at the overall "bolt-y" appearance of the steel-jacketed version. it looks clunky and just seems so anti-intuitive. compare their effort to dennis' hand-hammered copper jacketed version. based solely on that comparison, the steel primo looks bad. not that i'd really consider ANY metal coated ceramic cooker. but if i were, the abovementioned entry would not be at the top of the list. no slight on the cooking capabilities of the primo; i have no firsthand knowledge, and know a few who love them. sorry i stepped on your toes, curmudgeon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
