Well just joined the gang as I have been all over he sight the last few weeks. My name is Paul and I live in Memphis, TN.....one of the BBQ capitals. I spent about 18 years with a team that competed in an around Memphis, but I was more of a eater than a cooker, so will be brushing up on my skills.
My advice need is centered around a grill(s) purchase. I am currently a Weber Kettle guy but want to move up. I am pondering a Komodo Kamado (BB32) or going with a much larger charcoal grill (been looking at Klose's, Texas Pit Crafters, Weber rancher and some others) and then coupling that with a Cookshack AmeriQue for the smoker part of the arsenal. I need a new charcoal grill as about once a month I have to cook in waves as I will have more burgers/steak/chicken than I cook at once, which is a pain. The cookshack's concept of set it and forget it is appealing.
Quite frankly I am intimidated by (the price) and the multiple rack cooking that the KK seems to require. It looks like if I did 8 to 10 really big ribeyes or strips that I would need to cook on two of the racks, which seems to be a lot of work. Am I off here or am I thinking about it correctly? The appeal is that this one cooker does it all versus the two.
Any suggestions or opinions are greatly valued.
