Doesn't look familiar but it's cool!

Have you looked at naked whiz dot com??

I don't know the first thing about Kamodo grills, and only slight more about Kamodo dragons, but that sure looks to me as a customs job.  Whether it is original or custom I'd suggest you start smoking with it like you stole it!

Parts for these old guys are hard to find. This is my 1967 CasaQ. I took all the original metal and had it sand blasted and powder coated. The naked whiz has some good leads so you may want to email him with questions.

 dirtsailor i really enjoyed your story of  your Grandfathers  CasaQ ! the rebuild was most interesting .. the  blue tile Kamodo    i talked them into  basically giving me $100  . from a clients house which we were doing a kitchen renovation .. sitting  by the pool not used and came with the house. i realized why it came with the house  when we moved this 600 lb  beast. the firebox is completely broken  which will be a challenge to retro fit. your pics helped  me understand what is needed to get this baby up and smoking .. thanks richard
