Garvinque Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 They have the holes in the side of the pot, not the bottom! And did John write this up or did someone use a video of his to support they claim? Garvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garvinque Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Well he's wrong and he didn't put the holes in the right spot, no one told him to put on the bottom side of pot but to put on the bottom of the pot. And where's his science degree because there is science for this!!! Sorry I hate people who will go out their way to discredit something and they didn't properly use the pot in the way it was intended.

Garvin Yes, he goes out of his way to say he understands it, but then purposely mis-uses it (holes on side, high heat) and then goes on to discredit. Then he presents his own video with a different solution (surprise surprise). Nowhere does he do an actual test of the concept the way it's intended to be used. I respect John and the *good* info he's captured and made available. I found his forum useful when I first bought a Kamado Joe because of the overwhelming number of KJ'ers there. But I find myself increasingly migrating away from the Guru. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garvinque Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) There are some good people at the Guru, and I love the recipes that are shared and the knowledge of Kamado cooking is valuable but stuff like this makes it hard to be a site supporter!!

Syzygies Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 3 hours ago, HalfSmoke said: (holes on side, high heat) Yes, I have a firm rule to not use my smoke pot above 275 F (210 F to 240 F is ideal). To further confuse the thread title, a cast iron smoke pot may be the "Firefly 2" of the barbecue world: Half the people who've tried it love it, the other half can't manage to get smoke out of it. I light my low & slow fires with a weed burner, taking special care to heat the underside of the smoke pot itself, and I've never had a problem. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pequod Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 From what I've seen, those who have used it as intended -- both here and at Amazing Ribs (where it is also quite popular) -- have had good success with it. Those who are panning it have departed from the recipe or not tried it at all. It's like those people at AllRecipes.com that rate a recipe 1-star, and then write in their review that they substituted 6 of the ingredients, cooked at the wrong temp using the wrong technique, and it sucked! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garvinque Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Same here can't say what I really want to say without getting bared from site, so I will let others voice their opinion instead!

cschaaf Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 So how many different places did he drill the holes? Quote I can’t tell any difference in the smoke quality or aroma no matter where the holes are located on this smoker pot container in my own testing. Oh well, we tried. Everyone needs to draw their own conclusions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like @tony b said^^^^. If this was a young engineer on one of my project teams doing such shoddy work, they'd at least be "counseled" (in White House speak), if not drummed out of the corp. That it's John propagating this nonsense on his own site...it just validates my earlier post about forums and terrorist cells being related. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
