I’ve been an active member of KamadoGuru but just learned that it is shutting down at the end of the year. Another Guru member recommended this site, so here I am. Based on lurking around for a bit, it looks like a great site! I’ve spent more $ over the years chasing BBQ perfection than I’d care to admit, starting with a Brinkmann R2D2-like smoker, and hope I’ve found my groove with the Kamado Joe. I have the obligatory gasser for quick cooks, but the KJ is my favorite. A Kettle/SnS and Pit Barrel Cooker also remain in the lineup, but are mostly relegated to the bench. I reluctantly gave away my offset last spring when we had a new outdoor kitchen built. It weighed more than 500 pounds, so when one of the crew showed interest in it, I was glad to have someone get some use out of it, while at the same time, hauling it out of my backyard. My days (and nights) of babysitting a fire are now in the past.
Glad to be here and hope to share some cooks soon!
