karlkamado Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Hey group, As mentioned I'm here in Oregon and the proud owner of a recently purchased Kamado Joe Classic. Really just getting my feet wet with it, as it's vastly different from my prior basic gas grills and Traeger pellet smoker. So far have had varying success with a smoked chicken, grilled t-bone steak and (my favorite so far) bourbon honey glazed smoked salmon. Hope to gain some tips and tricks from the experienced members here and hope not to make a fool of myself in trying to contribute myself. thanks for this space, Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5698k Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 As I stated in the other thread, congrats on your grill, but are you aware that this is the Komodo Kamado forum?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisLinkletter Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Welcome to the forum.. When all is said and done, while this may be a Komodo Kamado forum it's still all about the cooking.. I hope you feel welcome and enjoy the posts of the cooking here which I feel equal or exceed the quality of any BBQ forum online.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 You're certainly welcome to hang out here and post pics of your cooks. But, if you're looking for advice on how to use your KJ, then the Kamado Guru Forum might be more of what you were searching for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrus Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Well karl, I have to agree with Toney on all points especially the welcome. Your Kamado has similarities to the KK but it falls far shy of approaching the quality that goes into it. It's as if your comparing a Chevy to a Caddy. Hey I drive a chevy! Any how I have a Primo, Grill Dome,Weber and an offset Lang as well as a 23 KK. Always looking to improve my game and if your up to the challenge there are people here that are quite gifted and willing to share. Hey, you may even come around and add one of these to your collection, you"'ll be glad you did. Welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've I'm on K-Guru too, but they're moving exclusively to Facebook come next January and I really prefer forums in this classic format so I'm in search for another option. thanks.

Not much to change if the speed of his speech is indicative his IQ. Kamado Guru forum what a joke, it's the Kamado Joe Forum. Hard to be impartial when you are on KJ payroll Never joined because I'd be calling out those keyboard warriors all day long.

Jon B. Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 I own 4 different brands of kamado's including a KJ. Each has a different purpose and I enjoy cooking on all of them. That being said.......I did not enjoy being a member of the KJ Forum and the administration of it. Left them over a year ago and never looked back. I do know some of our KK forum members enjoy the site and the cooking challenges. Like ToastedMorsel....it was not for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfdrew28 Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 I find this site along with Amazing Ribs forum covers all the bases. I’m here for technique , close knit kk community, and the great cooks we share. AR for the vast knowledge on anything cooking related.
