    My kamado joe jr has arrived.
    Already tried some chicken thighs and pork loin, turned out great.
    Really impressed on how fuel efficient it is and also easy to control the heat

    My new Kamado Bono arrived today and in the middle of putting it together now. Can anyone advise where I can pick up natural fire lighters this time of year. Usually pick them up in lidl when they have their bbq specials.

    Just buy a heat gun and forget about any lighters, with head gun i light my coals within 30sec.

    Yes that exactly what im trying to say, dont buy these, just buy heat gun, does exactly the same even better, look it up on youtube, theres a guy literally testing these all up, and regular heat gun wins in all cases

    Ordered it at the weekend from Lithuanica. They were down to the last few of the Grande. Great service and very fast.

    Kitchen roll rolled up with a little vegetable oil will light any half decent charcoal.either in the Kamado or even quicker with a starter.

    And I need to wait until April. Not cool! :D
    Going to contact them and if they have stock I’ll cancel my order with Higgins

    Congrats! I ordered one yesterday (big joe) but haven’t got a delivery date from them yet, was hoping to have it for the weekend but it might arrive after that I guess. I’ve been binging on YouTube videos on them for a couple of weeks. The two I’ve watched most are smoking dad BBQ and pitmaster X. The smoking dad one goes into a lot more detail about the cook but I’m enjoying them both.

    I think I’m going to start easy and do a chicken for the first cook before progressing to the other meats.

    I haven’t read all of this yet but it seems to have a lot of initial details for novices like ourselves.

    After years of thinking I don’t need a kamado, I still don’t .. but I might buy one anyway!

    I’d been looking at the kamado bonos and I’m wondering if anyone has one and what you think of it?

    I’m used to a 57cm kettle grill so anything less than a grande or grande limited (effectively same as the Big Joe size) seems way too small to me. They say the grande limited is good for restaurant size crowds... I mainly cook for 4 and will cook for 10-15 a couple of times a year (lockdown permitting!!) so I don’t want to be stuck for grill space.

    Any thoughts appreciated.

    It really depends, but I think with the Bono grande, it should be more than enough. I’d say you can fit plenty of burgers and steaks there. Good luck finding stock, though

    Do you think they are in high demand or just not being imported ?
    Cant say I've heard of anyone I know buying one or even looking for one (except here of course) .

    I can’t speak for the Bono but when I was talking to the crowd I bought my kamado joe off they were saying that they were having the same issues as last year with sourcing stock.

    Smoked some top rump roast today, it cooked quicker than I had expected... Only brought it up to 135f tho. I am used to 7-8hr pork shoulders.

    It is wrapped now, and I will slice some in an hour and see the results.
