Dreamboater Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Planning an outdoor kitchen and I have gone back and forth on different Kamados. My gripe with most is quality issues and I have seen this from all the big 3. My question for you guys, can the 19 TT handle everything from daily cooks briskets, ribs for a family of 4? Or would the 22 be a better choice? The grate size of the 19 vs 22 seems so close, from what I can gather is the height of the 22 is the biggest difference.

afidel Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I've cooked on ckreef's 19TT with him and it's plenty big enough for a family of 4, heck we did steaks for 7 on it =) But, it's not really big enough to do a big full packer on if that's what you mean by brisket. Apparently really long racks of ribs can be tight as well. Personally I'm still planning to get the 19, I'd rather get a small packer or cut the random extra big rack in half then spend the extra money on the 23 that I'd otherwise not need.

I love the 19tt because it doesn't take up much room, I love the 23 because its sexy as heck! Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamboater Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 Thanks guys. BBQ Guru rib rack looks to solve the rib issue. My guess is a full packer would need to be split flat from point which I’d be ok with. The other downside to the 19 looks to be related to the rotisserie options. Looks like Dennis only made a 6” cradle for the 19 where the 22 has the 8” option. The 8” would be nice for turkeys and rib roasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1MoreFord Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 A bit late to the discussion But bigger is almost always better. 26" weber > 22" >18". Works the same with most cookers space allowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
