mguerra Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Apparently, Viking has a kamado style cooker. It's stainless steel with a ceramic interior. Kind of wild looking. http://www.vikingrange.com/consumer/pro ... at12020024 Aesthetically I prefer the KK tile, and I couldn't find any detailed info on this product, but thought the group might find it interesting to look at. Since Viking makes a number of different product lines, and they have opted to enter the kamado market, it seems kamado cooking must really be taking hold. Even though I have not bought one yet, I tell everyone I know about KK and send them to this forum to check it out! I keep threatening to buy a Primo Oval because they are cheaper, and the dealer just up the road from me is a friend of mine, but I've got KK stuck in my head.

sumrtym Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 It's been around a number of years now. It's actually a Primo shell that Viking wraps in Stainless steel in case you're wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linuxwrangler Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I saw one 2-3 years back. The ceramic is not as thick and I don't care for the looks - certainly not when compared to the tile. And even with a "discount" off the $5,200 list-price, buying one from, say, barbecues.com will set you back something like $4,600. But it serves a very useful purpose. First you pretend to lust over the Viking. When your spouse threatens to move out if you spend that much on a BBQ you "compromise" on the KK at half the price.

I didn't realize it was a Primo underneath. It may be interesting if you have an all-stainless motif going on, but I do like the form and function (and comparative pricing!) of the KK a bit better I'm moving this to the Ceramic World forum where there's a lot of other competitive information.
