Congrats man! You are going to LOVE this grill. It practically changed the way I grill these days.

An hour?!!

Wow! That is spectacular! Question, and don't get me wrong here, please. I just want to understand what about this makes it so darn expensive. It's a pricey cooker! Wonderful looker too.

I think you will find as many people arguing that it is too expensive as you will that love it per the research I've done. Essentially it is a Komodo but in Weber format. The biggest difference is that not only will it retain heat, but you can bleed it off if you overshoot your temp - something Komodo's are not particularly known for.

I gave this a WHOLE lot of thought as well before I bought mine. I had the same questions too. I have owned many Webers for many years. I couldn't believe that this thing would cost two grand. That is until I finally had a chance to touch one with my very hands in my ACE hardware. Done deal.

Functionally, it's a high-end lightweight kamado with great workmanship and lots of thought that went into its design. That about covers it.

yeah after I got it up to about 900F, I settled it in to a normal airflow and it ran at 550F for a LONG time. I didn't even think to time it...Doh!
