mctoo Posted July 25, 2007 Report 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
ThreeDJ16 Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 It has actually been around for a while and is pretty small for the price. -=Jasen=- Quote
TheNakedWhiz Posted July 25, 2007 Report 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
Sanny Posted July 25, 2007 Report 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
Curly Posted July 25, 2007 Report 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
Firemonkey Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 Did you see the price on the stainless tile. It was more than the Viking! Quote
Curly Posted July 25, 2007 Report 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
Gruz Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 Next on the list: An 80,000 BTU stainless grill encased in ceramic... Quote
Bobkat Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 Looks like something used to sterilize medical instruments...or make beer. LOL Quote

mctoo Posted July 26, 2007 Author Report Posted July 26, 2007 Primo Kamado = $729 Viking SS Shell = $2871. That is one expensive shell. Quote
Bobkat Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 Good point J...how bout the first prototype for the A bomb? Quote
Curly Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 Primo Kamado = $729 Viking SS Shell = $2871. That is one expensive shell. Yeah really, 2k of stainless. Quote
Porkchop Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 wow, i guess now you CAN shine a turd... Quote
trish Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 Primo Kamado = $729 Viking SS Shell = $2871. That is one expensive shell. Yeah really, 2k of stainless. 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. Quote

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. Maybe that's why you don't. That fella's been spending his time hammering out these Primo's...didn't have time for that single unit you ordered Quote
gerard Posted July 26, 2007 Report 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
Porkchop Posted July 26, 2007 Report 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
Sanny Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 ... sorry i stepped on your toes' date=' curmudgeon [/quote'] Sheesh! Don't tick of the naked guy in the tea kettle, for heaven's sake!! Quote
Porkchop Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 from the looks of that reflection, he has good cause to be angry! Quote
