Well I ended up selling some stuff on craigslist this weekend and then had some cash burning a hole in my pocket. I happened to go to Costco and saw this shiney new Kamado made by Louisiana Grills for $599. I thought that wasn't terribly priced for a 24" Kamado.
It came with the heat deflector, and a double level grate, also has side shelves. Overall seemed to be pretty good construction!
Now I just need to figure out how to use it!! I did the first cook of some chicken thighs.
Some notes from the first cook:
-Seasoning they told me to only use 1 handful of charcoal, that was not enough.
-I almost ran out of charcoal on my cook, almost.
-The directions said you could let everything drip onto the heat deflector. That doesn't seem quite right. What does everyone else do with their deflectors? Wrap them in foil?
