And on the grill
 
 

I haven't don a belly in a while, and with the talk of pork belly burnt ends, plus getting this smallish belly at Costco, decided to give it a whirl....
 
the belly with a thin coating of Dukes mayo, and Texas BBQ Rub....

Pork butt is the simplest solution. No need to try to get gourmet here.

And burnt ends. These were good...not beef good, but I'm a beef guy. 
 
Well, I'm trying to upload a photo, but the dam thing won't let me.

Looks like normal crazing to me. It's normal in all ceramic kamados, not just Joe's.

Lol...I'm for real laughing out loud.

Prowe, there is a very simple way to guarantee that a blue KK lands in your back yard, and it's not dependent on what anyone else does....

Some idea of your price range would be helpful. Kamados range from roughly $300.00 to over $9000.00. You used the words entry level. Without trying to offend anyone, the akorn fits that description as far as price, being on the lower end of the scale. I think the vision would be next. Kamado joe, primo, and big green egg comprise what is often called the big three, because they are all relatively close in price and quality, plus they offer somewhat similar sizes and options. I wouldn't call any of the three entry level necessarily, unless you opt for the smaller size with the intention of getting a bigger one later. 
 
Any of the aforementioned kamados will give you a great cooking experience. My suggestion is to first decide on a price range, and go from there. 
 
Happy cooking!

225° is no holy grail of lo/slo cooking, especially for butts. This is probably the single most forgiving cut in the bbq world. 
 
I suggest just loading your firebox with as much coal as is recommended for your grill, establish a temp of anywhere between 225°-275°, and let it cook. Butts can stand higher temps, but it's the sugars in the rubs that start giving you problems much higher than that.
