retfr8flyr Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 If you do some searching on the site, you will find quite a bit of info on the Smokeware hats. I have one and I am very happy with it. http://www.kamadoguru.com/topic/21315-smokeware-top-vent/ Dub 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJIan Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I have one too and I like it. No need to check if the vent opening moves when you open up the grill. Good in the rain also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charcoal Addict Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I seared up some corn and tenderloins on the Joe last night during a rainstorm with the Smokeware vent on. They work and work well. freddyjbbq, retfr8flyr and Dub 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBB333 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Sorta new here, I have a Vision Pro S and wonder if one of these chimney caps would work on it - any hunches? O very much like the design and often grill in the rain. It appears to be a perfect solution for precipitation. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vision 'neck' is 7 5/8" and the chimneys are +/- 6." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxx Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 If Smokeware has one that fits your size grill ,BUY IT .Don't forget the new Flat cap to help put out your fire . It is all I have used on my Large Egg . What is a daisey wheel and what is it used for ??? LOL . Never use the ceramic cap anymore since I got the flat cap .

Dub Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I'll be getting some cooks with mine really soon. The supplied gasket material was THICK. I noticed they self adhesive gasket material for kamado grills, too. Very thick stuff. I may have to give it a try in the future. It's going to take a cook to get dialed in on the particular settings for it. Easy stuff, though. It appears they make the caps for Kamado Joe, BGE and Primo. Would look sharp on a black Primo.

bosco Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 it looks really good!! nice design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkill73 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Love the design of this cap. If only it was made to fit a Vision Classic B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I have it and will not be using the old disc and wheel type anymore. It holds the setting when you open the dome and also protects from rain. Plus I think it looks nice and clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aljoseph Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I have the Smokeware cap and my BGE wears it proudly rain or shine. Yes, I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack PBBQT Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Love the design of this cap. If only it was made to fit a Vision Classic B. This is the only Cap made for the Vision. It's more utilitarian for sure but made to last and made to use as needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charcoal Addict Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 They changed the design on the newer Smokeware vents so the vent tapers down gently in the left corner to improve low and slow performance. It never leaks smoke like the rotating cap design. It shuts down the Joe's much quicker than the flip disc vent design. The only down fall I've found so far is the fact that you need to remove the cap with some lumps charcoals to get the Big Joe's past 600F. I'm thinking that's a issue with the KJ ash tray reducing air flow in the lower vent rather than a fault in the vent cap's design.
