My son in law sent me a photo of a kamado, asking half joking and half serious if he should get it:

It’s a Parrilla Kamado Simple Cook Tokio. I looked it up. It’s fairly new, you can find videos on YouTube etc. There aren’t any reviews, but I’d guess it’s pretty much the same performance wise as any of the decent kamados. One thing I was curious about are those two round metal things on top that look like secondary vents… but I think they’re actually viewports! I’m not sure how much value such a thing would have; an hour into your very first cook those are going to be black. Idk, maybe you can remove one, look in, and then put it back? See in this picture where you can see the vegetation, though, and the other side has some sort of pattern.

799,990 Chilean pesos, close to $1000 US. (Multiply by 1.3 and move the decimal point.) That seems about right. Anyhow, I’m pretty sure my daughter is going to put the kibosh on it for now. I asked if they had a spare 799990 pesos, and she jumped in with “I wouldn’t call it ‘spare’.”
