Ben711200 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I thought it may be of interest that popularity of kamados is really starting to pick up now in the UK. Two supermarkets were selling them special offers last year, and a third has joined them this year. This was priced at £175 a few weeks ago then the price got dropped a couple times to make way for the next wave of offers. I managed to get this one for £90. It has the same size grill as a Joe Jr (which sells here for just over £400), came with a deflector, expander grill and an ash tool. It has been sold by Morrisons, and is from UK importer La Hacienda but La Hacienda aren't supporting this supermarket model as far as I am aware. Does anyone recognise what it may be sold as elsewhere in order that I can source a firebox when the inevitable happens?

keeperovdeflame Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 It actually looks a little bit like a BGE MiniMax with a smooth surface finish. Not sure though, you probably need to check the specs. https://biggreenegg.com/product/minimax-big-green-egg/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tongmaster Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Thanks for the info, it looks good. They have 3 left at our local Morrisons for £90 at the moment. I'm thinking of getting one for my dad. I bought the large one for £350 and am very happy with it. Would you be able to fit a good size joint on it, e.g 2.5kg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a surprisingly good size. Same grill size as a Joe Jr, so anything that will go on that should go. Plenty of posts on that to compare. You have stock left near you?! There's nothing left at all around me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tongmaster Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 TY Ben. Good to know. Yes there are 3 left of the small tabletop ones at my local Morrisons. None of the large though, they all got snapped up quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This link intimates that these are made by Auplex: http://www.bbbqs.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=4662 There are a few sellers on AliExpress doing compatible parts and accessories.

Tongmaster Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 So I put the tabletop La Hacienda Kamado to work, grilled some peri peri rubbed chicken thighs, lamb chops and rump steak for a South African braai meal!

Tongmaster Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 The grill is 33cm / 13inch diameter but still space to cook for 4 people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
