Ebay Kamdao Grill first Look updated
Posted: 05 Apr 2012, 11:24Well it came today took 1 week unbox and first Impression
Grill is 18in inside from wall to wall is 18 3/4in outside wall to wall is 21inc
guessing same size as kamado grill. Overall for 309£ it aint bad yeah its not primo or Bge or Kjoe quailty
but at first glance prob worth the money. test cook will be next week as goin away for few days
will also mod bottom air vent. got a KJ heatdeflector coming for it too will post pic of that fitted when comes.
if u want any more info let me know.
Boxed Up well heavy 85kg
Legs Put together only had 2 Bolts casters got 2 lockable wheels would not like to move round alot
need to find a place for it to stay.
inside with fire rings inplace and Grill and inside of dome as you can see only a small temp prob.
Hinge not as strong as others but seems ok
All together
Only Prob can see is air vent at bottom theres a gap that lets air in , this is like the kamado Char-Griller
theres a thread on this on BBQ Brethren and guys have fixed prob with a bit of modding, i bent it in more its a bit better
but not as i want it will look into gettin it fixed next week.
OK Kjoe Heat Defector came, heres it fitted it does fit apart from the groves on the fire ring dont match up
but it rest of top fine so it is stitting about 1/2in higher than on a Kjoe but will do a perfect job
i think Kjoe parts ie fire ring will fit this item. but stay tuned for info on that.
Ok this thing is a Bargin if u want a cheap ceramic Buy it ! yup you don't get the 10 year warranty of a
BGE but guy who sells this said its covered by him for 24months I had a prob with my thermometer
and spoke to him and theres a replacment on the way. I done a fast cook and a Slow one so far.
Fast one was some tandoori chicken did them on Grill over direct heat Turned out Nice and Juicy.
Slow one was a Brisket was worried about this as i was waiting for my et73 but it didn't turn up
so was up and down all night making sure it had not gone out , i should not have worried
found 1 air leak it was round top air vent its letting in air i could see quite a lot of smoke
coming out .i took it off need undo 2 screws theres 2 layers of felt under it this prob is when u screw
it tight it pulls the vent in where screws are and so it flares out where screws are not, at min i have
took it off and put some foil under untill i get some a small peice of gasket tape.
so i did have a prob getting temp to 225f it rolled between 240-265, did a 9lb brisket took
12hrs to get to 190 when i took off and foiled.
I filled the fire ring full and used a heat defector this one is from a kamado joe and fits Perfect
also it raise's your grill .the amount of coal used for 12hrs was amazing as you guys with ceramics know , there must
be 75% of the start amount left this thing full would have easy done 30+ hrs
So would a reccomend this YES I WOULD if i had the money i would get a KJ or BGE why just for warranty
but i still got a 2 year one on this. and at 330inc delivery I think its a Bargin
