Gravity Fed Smokers vs Kamado - How differently do they cook?
Polar Bear replied to matto6's topic in Non Kamado Cookers
Jack of all Trades vs Master of One Dunno about the rest of you, but i cant sear a steak, roast a chicken or cook a pizza in a Masterbuilt to the same standard i get from a Kamado Likewise, some of the best home LnS i've had has come out of a Masterbuilt or a Pellet grill (or an offset) -
Cant speak to a Vision S-Series but i can confirm the KJ Woven Gasket fits and works fine on BGE Grills The dome is heavy enough to provide a seal without the need for a latch (that's why it also works on early model KJs)

Location might help with suggestions for dealers in your area Alternatively, there is always the Support Section on the KJ Website (this forum is not affiliated with Kamado Joe)

SloRoller on Big Joe 2 - Worth It?
Polar Bear replied to RoodyPooBBQ's topic in Accessories & Product Reviews
If you've already got a JT and have some Grill Toys money burning a hole in your pocket, i'd say go for it but i can think of better things to spend $250 on IME, there is a difference in the cooks with a SloRoller but its not significant enough to justify the additional expense and cumbersome storage of it compared to a traditional heat deflector set up I'd wager that the people who sing its praises the loudest are either: 1- People who got it with their Series 3 from the get go and don't know any different (ignorance) 2- People who believed the marketing and upgraded their grill specifically to get a SloRoller without ever trying it first (confirmation bias) 3- Ultra Grilling Nerds who appreciate all the nuance and subtly of this hobby -
SloRoller on Big Joe 2 - Worth It?
Polar Bear replied to RoodyPooBBQ's topic in Accessories & Product Reviews
I dont think you can run a drip pan From what i've seen the grill grates pretty much sit on the SloRoller if fitted to a series 2 grill -
If you think metal is cheaper than ceramic then you've clearly never attended a pottery class...

When you guy say "high heat", how hot are we talking?

IME, The KJ castors aren't the best even when parked Mine fell apart after 2 years I'd consider upgrading your castors to something a little softer to help absorb some of the bumps In regards to the cart itself, I think you'd be fine provided you're careful when moving it

Summit grate cooking options
Polar Bear replied to smittydog27's topic in Weber Summit Grills/Kamados
If a KJ system fits then a BGE system should (not sure about height, though) I've seen people fit the BGE system in Pre DnC KJs -
Search "Band Adjustment Big Green Egg" on you tube Principle is the same

2nd set in 5 years Multiple Pizza cooks, clean burns and high temp steak cooks First set cracked only after i made the mistake of putting them in after the grill was up to temp If you're going through a set a year i'd say the issue is how you're using them

If it makes you feel any better, my Series 2 Big Joe came from the factory with the Kontrol Tower loose AF The first release of the Series 2 came with a felt gasket on the top and was later switched to a Woven Style Gasket, which seems to make them fit better Its never bothered me much as i just remove the slider rather than swivel it if i'm going for high temps

There's a bit of variance in the dimensions of Joes from one model to another Whenever i see a 3rd party product that says "fits all Kamado Joes" its safer to assume they mean it wont be too small

Wire Mesh Gasket for KJ Classic 1 - do they work well and which to buy?
Polar Bear replied to Mitchjg's topic in Kamado Joe
The woven fiberglass gasket works fine with Series 1 KJs and even Big Green Eggs (I've fitted them to a pair of Large BGEs) The weight of the dome is sufficient to ensure "a good seal"
