BURGER MEISTER

looked like the char-broiler handle was kinda loose.

If you go to Kamado Joe web page and click on the manual, there is an explanation on how to adjust the latch. And it gives you an idea on how to install the missing pieces in your hand.

And I would think even on concrete, dissipating as much heat as possible would be a good thing.

When building the pizza, was the "crust completely cooked or did you leave it undone a little and finish cooking in the Kamado? Intriguing to say the least.

When I have problems with any situation concerning warranty issues, online orders, medical, family, I just sic my wife on em. She can get very convincing upon demand.

With the price of beef, perhaps this would be warranted? Check out all the pictures in the ad. https://flirtyaprons.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c9be96b0f0b3afab1b653df5d&id=617be2fa88&e=45cb757519

I have the smoke with the gateway and I don't sit next to my grills??? And everything drains your battery. If you're not knowledgeable as to component placement, you will be doomed to using inferior instruments. My grills are about 50' from my recliner through 3 walls, 1 hutch and I get good reception on my phone.

From the bottom to the top of the cap it's about 35". Take the cap off an you could gain another 3". So 32 approx.

When you live in the PNW you have to have some kind of shelter to grill/smoke in. This summer I will have the table done and the back wall tiled and it will be finished. The barrel is actually a sink with extra counter space for when needed. When blizzard conditions are predicted, it has a roll down canvas cover and does a good job of keeping out the blowing snow.

That same insanity is making it's way North progressively.

When Kamados first hit the main stream market, I was between #2 and #3 of my Weber kettles. I looked at the BGE when it was time to replace #3 and was impressed with the quality and finish but the price!!!!! I looked at the little scraper to remove the ash and told my wife that the Webers have one lever and sweeps the ash out the bottom, what a joke. I wish there woulda been a site like this to go on and find out about them in general. Hell, I believe the WWW. wasn't even a pipe dream then. So I went through 2 more Weber kettles and thought I would give ceramic another look. Yeh, they're all more expensive than a kettle but, I'm sorta sorry I didn't bite the bullet way back then and splurge on a ceramic when I was younger. (But I really didn't like the green)

I got the 2017 BJ and don't regret it. Course I'm staring 70 in the face and have absolutely no shoulders left. Actually have 2, ones worthless and the other one is titanium. The air hinge makes it so much nicer on me. I use the Jr about 98% of the time but when I need something bigger, it's nice to have the space.

No, it's just you and me that these things happen to on a regular basis.

You can have both your phone and the remote display at the same time.

Another consideration to keep in mind is accessories. Price out what you think you'll want and if it will fit your chosen unit. I would definitely wait and scope out the Costco road show before making a decision. Touchy feely is very important.
