It works, but you have to have a cord. The torch is so much simpler.

Congratulations, Elaine! Welcome to the KK Club (and the Autumn Nebula group!) That's the color of my KK, too. Stunning in the sunlight!)

 

Yes, it seems overwhelming at the beginning, but the learning curve is pretty fast. Don't fret the mistakes, we all make them, regardless of experience! Just keep asking questions and reading the Forum, it's the Wiki of kamado cooking! 

 

I have used both chimneys and torches. I'm currently in the torch camp. I use this one and like it for the long reach.

While Amazon still has a few left, this model is no longer made, but there are others that are similar in design.

Congratulations Elaine. I'm so excited for you. Bummer that you can't play with it yet. I had two friends buy Kamados last year and they asked me for some tips. I posted this thread on the forum. It may give you some info to get you started.
