    Pellets in the charcoal using a Komado

    Has anyone used with succes smoking pellets in with the charcoal if the Kimados? I have a smoke generator which I use but it's one more thing to get going sometimes. If I can just chuck pellets straight in when I am time poor that could work.

    A Photographic guide

    Afternoon all, I am still trying to learn how to get the temperatures under control and hold where I want while using the Primo. On the first use I nailed it and was pretty impressed with how I did it. I have had subsequent cooks where the food has turned out great but I was chasing the...

    How do I learn to be paitent

    I have been using my Primo a bit and feel like I am learning something each time I cook with it. It's a brilliant bit of kit. The biggest issue I am having is thinking it's ready to go only to find I am always a bit to early to start cooking but not being quite upnto temperature. Did pizzas...

    To clean or not to clean

    Glad to see it a bit of a mixed bag. I guess I should have said what I do, I am more of a heat and scrape clean type of person. I have never cleaned the inside of the lid (probably should). Job for this weekend. I just did they biggest clean of all my BBQs yesterday and have what looks newish...

    To clean or not to clean

    Since getting my new Primo I have done some cleaning on the BabyQ and 6 Burner gasser(no brand name left on it). Got me thinking. My Dad(RIP) would always just let the old wood fire and later on gass BBQ burn out or turn off and do nothing else. Next time we used it he would heat it up and give...
