For anyone whose interested it seems to be of very good quality. Steel is thick and solid. Takes about 30mins at most to assemble the base. Can just about be lifted by one person when you take everything off of it.

Went into Aldi yesterday but the didn’t have the accessory pack in there. I want to confirm if they are interchangeable.

New Akorn Kamado ceramic bowl etc . Would love advice on cooking pork butt and a spare ribs. Also, just general use knowledge. How do I make it hotter - cooler , is it easy to adjust? Does it cook these types of bbq well? It was a gift so I’m just now trying to ‘get to know it’

I've spent 18 hours researching kamado grills. My wife has lost all respect for me. Please help.

I went deep into the biggest rabbit hole of my life. Budget is under £1,000 all-in including rotisserie.

Already own a Masterbuilt 36" + a bullet smoker for large group and volume cooks — the kamado is for hot and fast weeknight cooking with occasional ribs, chicken or pork shoulder. Family of 3, guests up to 6.

Two questions before the shortlist:

Is ceramic cracking actually common on budget kamados or have I just read too many horror stories? Am I overthinking the warranty situation?

Is the chip feeder on Ynni and similar brands genuinely useful or a gimmick?

The shortlist:

Boss Egg XL £619 — sits in KJ Classic accessory ecosystem, good value. 1 year warranty puts me off despite UK consumer law probably covering me anyway.

Wild Goose Pro £749 — looks more like a KJ Classic 3 than a traditional egg. Segmented firebox, spring hinge, native rotisserie available. 12 month warranty again.

Kamado Bono Grande £759 — solid reputation, own accessory range. Single piece firebox and warranty has a crack exclusion clause.

Ynni 23" ~£936 bundle — Welsh importer, direct from manufacturer, 20 year ceramic warranty, 20.5" cooking grate, 14 colour options ( white looks sexy). Single piece firebox and warranty parts reportedly arrive with next China shipment — could be months.

KJ Classic 1 ~£899 — obviously the benchmark. But feels a generation behind on features compared to newer budget options.

My wife is ready to buy it herself. Please put me out of my misery

I made these as a demo cook at the Maryland Eggfest last weekend and 😱🤯🤯!

I smoked a Plainville Farms turkey breast, sliced it and topped some Texas Toast with it. Then, put the toast on a sheet pan, poured a strong covering of Mornay sauce and back on the Egg at 375. Once the sauce was bubbling, I removed it, topped it with chopped tomato, crispy crumbled bacon & chopped fresh parsley. ……and the crowd went wild!

Aldi Kamado from 2022 I think. Rotisserie from ynni. No name Bluetooth probe. Heat deflector holding tray with new potatoes with some water to avoid burning. Chicken marinated/stuffed with rosemary, thyme, garlic and lemon zest.

I’m thinking about buying this kamado grill. The guy imported it from Steel Egg BBq in China and I can’t find any reviews. It is very cheap (€450,-, 21 inch). What do I look for to determine if it’s any good?

I bought the lidl kamado today, unfortunately the internal clay ring came cracked, not sure if I have to return it, or ask for a replacement, any idea?
