ckreef Posted June 19, 2016 Report Posted June 19, 2016 I've had one of these before and wooooed Mrs skreef with fine dining off it on our honeymoon at a cabin. I ended up getting rid of it (big mistake). Fortunately Chargriller came out with another production run after about 2 years. . Insulated steel with 14" CI grate. I also got the smoking stone deflector. Total with shipping just over $200. Weighs in at 37 lbs so really easy to transport by yourself. Doesn't compare with a KK but it'll do in a pinch. Better than nothing while on vacation. . Anyway needed to season the CI grates and didn't want to waste the heat. Petite sirloin fillets and lobster Tails for two. I could have done 4 of each. . I'm loving these $5 tails from Kroger. They say they'll be on sale all summer. . Reef's Bistro 3

tony b Posted June 19, 2016 Report Posted June 19, 2016 First off, nice looking Surf-n-Turf. $5 each. Hell, I'd be eating those everynight! As the saying goes, "Any port in a storm."
tinyfish Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 I'm sure you'll make great use of that cooker. 1
bosco Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 I was waiting for this purchase ckreef. I knew that it was a matter of time for your lifestyle. Awesome for travel. I am trying to think of ways to make the 23 travel friendly lol
ckreef Posted June 21, 2016 Author Report Posted June 21, 2016 The 16.5" would work for a vacation kamado if you had two decent sized adults to load and unload it. Mrs skreef is a rather petite woman so I had to come up with something different. Of all the Jr sized Kamados this really is the best one for travel. Reef's Bistro 1

Reef's Bistro I reckon your right the lighter the better especially if you have to carry it a fair way the kj jr is great but carrying that the esky and what not the fun factor will soon wear off lol Outback Kamado Bar and Grill ♨
skreef Posted June 26, 2016 Report Posted June 26, 2016 I was all happy to get another jr.. I just don't think i would have been a happy camper lugging a grill thats maybe two and a half times heavier than me. Mrs. Reef's Bistro
