Was that a Vision Grill that melted? Looked like the BGE held up and Kamado Joe was ruined. The real world example of a Primo surviving the Paradise Fire was an eye-opener.
Yeah, that's one of those that you can get for around $500 on those shady sites. I don't know what name they are branded with. You get what you pay for.
Scotch: Current favorite- The Arran (anything by them), Glenmorangie 12yr Lasanta, sherry cask finished. The Balvenie Double Wood, also like Oban 18yr, and The Glenlivet Nadurra (Oloroso sherry cask finished) among others. Neat please.

Except for the meltdown that's pretty much a BS comparison. Who cares what temperature the outside of a kamado can get to? It's totally dependent on what's used in the glazing compound and process. You cook on the inside, right?
billg71 Your post above is correct, it is what happens on the inside. But this was not a "test" firing. In the back ground are their green ceramic pieces. This is their normal firing profile to sinter the ceramic and set the porcelain glaze. His point is that the other companies can not withstand their normal firing.
Also keep in mind this test is EXTREME!! Normal ceramics and porcelains are fired at 1500 - 2000F, depending on chemistry
