Pcuezze Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I’m completely new to Kamado cooking, but I’m ready to take the plunge and the Kamado Classic ii seems perfect. We, essentially, have no yard. We mow with a weed walker in about 5 minutes. So the most logical place for it is on side of the front porch where this little railing is. My thought was to remove the railing and have a custom counter installed with a drop down for the egg. But, as I look at it, is that just a waste of money? Should I just buy the cart and be done with it? Just looking for opinions! Also, the wood porch ceiling is only 7.5’. Should I plan some kind of spark arrestor above ? I’m not terribly concerned about smoke on the porch, just safety. TIA for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 You wont have any problem putting it there. The KJ is designed to hold heat not let it out. I'd put my offset there if it'd fit.... Pcuezze 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack. Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Welcome Pcuezze. Carts allow you to move your kamado easily, which can be especially useful should you decide to rearrange or replace patio furniture. I would not worry about sparks escaping the chimney and ruining that beautiful ceiling. Ron5850 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrakutt Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 while I wouldn't worry about sparks and flammable dangers, I would be concerned that the smoke output (over time) would discolour that ceiling you have. Looks beautiful, I wouldn't want you to ruin it. I'd imagine you'd be ok though, if you simply cleaned the ceiling every once in a while?
