Kamado Ceramic Charcoal BBQ

[Grogger27]

Hey folks,
Well, I have great news. The father-in-law called asking questions about the Kamado Ceramic Charcoal BBQ. He seen one in Costco and he sounds interested. I'm interested in everyone's thoughts on these smokers. It looks like a great piece of equipment and comparable to the Big Green Egg, but better price than the BGE. Costco has them on for $699.99 CAN.

Everywhere I've looked suggests they are worth the bucks. What are your thoughts?
Thanks,
Greg

Hey Grog... long time no post...have mist ya!

I have seen that cooker, and it impressed me if it's the same one. Efficient as all get-out. Still- a ton of money, and a ton of body- but they seem to run OK.

Don't know aboot that brand Greg, but my good buddy has a BGE & swears by it & he could own whatever he wanted. I would love to play around with one some time..... Keep us posted.... Love your avatar

The tile covered kamodos ive seen are top notch, id do one over a BGE in a second if that deal is legit.

Seen a few on CL for sale that are cracked. Something to consider is they weigh a ton & that they can & will crack if not properly taken care of.

I've got the Primo XL and really like it. I've seen the ones at Costco, but don't really know much aboot them. Maybe do some google searches first. Check out what kind of warranty comes with it. Good luck!!
