wilburpan Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Well said! I’m probably a bit of an outlier because I decided on getting a KK grill as my first kamado grill, as opposed to starting with a cheaper brand and upgrading. Some folks might say I was a bit nuts for doing so. Still, I haven’t regretted that decision at all, and I’m very happy that I jumped in the deep end. And in the long run, I saved money because I didn’t purchase 1 or 2 other grills on the way to getting Smaug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poochie Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 I don't regret purchasing the green one and then the red one a while back. They introduced me to ceramic cooking and I enjoyed them. However, my main gripe was that I couldn't get real BBQ smoked flavor out of them. They were excellent grillers. Along comes Bolo (my Komodo) and the whole "ceramic's can't make authentic tasting BBQ" goes out the window. I had a slew of different smokers, including a 1/4" thick steel offset smoker...my Komodo kicks all their 's without trying. While the offset produced good BBQ, you have to tend to it every 30 minutes of so to add another split or two. Not so with the Komodo. It's as close to set and forget as you can buy. I use mine at least 4 times a week and I still love it as much as I did the day I got it. If you're on the fence about getting one, jump off the fence and call Dennis and get ready to enjoy a whole new level of BBQ bliss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mguerra Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Yeah I was thinking about what Aaron Franklin wrote in his book regarding his offset smokers. They require tending almost continuously where our KK's do not. He suggested that cooking on wood is better than cooking on lump but I don't agree. With neutral lump you can really manipulate your smoke with chips and chunks, while being assured of rock steady temperature control over the duration of a big brisket cook. Watching his shows and reading his book, you can tell he enjoys hanging around and tending the fire and drinking beer, which of course is fine. If you want to enjoy a Saturday afternoon in your backyard with a few friends and one brisket. But now that he has a busy commercial enterprise with a lot of tasks to accomplish, baby sitting the fires must add to the stress level. I can imagine a way to build a big stone smoker that could accommodate an entire days production, use lump along with his preffered oak, easily maintain temperature with little to no baby sitting, and drastically reduce his need for a wood supply. With our KK's, we have it made in the shade! We can equal Franklin's results in the backyard almost effortlessly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
