Not Criticizing, Just Inquiring

[Gebo 37]

After 2 pizza cooks, my DoJoe has these white spots all over it and the black paint is peeling.  I sure hope my grandkids

aren't ingesting bad paint chips.

 

Did any of you experience anything like this?

Wonder if it's the powder coating issue  like on the tower

Everything I have from Kamado Joe that has a powdercoating on it loses the powdercoating.  This piece is no different.

Moving this to the Kamado Joe section since it has nothing to do with pizza....

I'm confused. So, you are ok with it? 

 

Why does it lose its powdercoating?  Is powdercoating just a temporary application to somehow protect in shipping? 

 

So what's the point of powdercoating?  Is there a powdercoating application that won't peel?

 

Sort of reminds me of the older white Chevy Vans that had all the paint coming off the hood and top.  LOL

Well, in a perfect world it would not peel, but yea.. I'm OK with it.  I'd rather see something that worked better than whatever they are doing.  I'm a bad example on something like this.  My grills aren't prom queens and I don't care too much if they have some blemishes.  My grills work hard.  They get used a lot.  

 

A car is different to me.  I'd not accept that on a car.  Cars don't get exposed to this kind of use though, and if they do, they won't look very good either.  

 

The powdercoating is mostly gone off my SLoROLLER and my Kontrol Tower top vents... there is a LOT missing from those.  My DoJOE and my JOEtisserie haven't lost as much but they both have their places.  

[Gebo 37]

It does look like there would be a way to correct this.  That's why I was asking everyone if their's has done this.

Maybe just some DoJoe's do this?????

 

My Top Vent is fine.  I am lusting for a SloRoller?  Will they have one for the older Big Joe?

There's always a way.  But there's a price to go with it too.  I haven't seen any KJ powdercoated product yet that hasn't suffered from it.  What you have that isn't peeling or chipping yet will before its over.  

 

I have been told since the inception of the SLoROLLER that there would be backwards compatible models made available at some point.  It hasn't happened yet but I to understand that it's still on the table.

Thanks!  Do you think the SloRoller would fix my sex life?  Is it that good?

Here's some info from a Powder Coat Wiki.

 

....Powder coating can also be removed by a burning off process, in which parts are put into a large high-temperature oven with temperatures typically reaching an air temperature of 300 - 450 °C. The process takes about four hours and requires the parts to be cleaned completely and re-powder coated. Parts made with a thinner-gauge material need to be burned off at a lower temperature to prevent the material from warping.....

 

300 - 450 C   =   572 - 842 F

So, why is my original old style daisy wheel not peeling after 6 years of ownership?

 

Really, serious question, what changed and why is it supposed to be acceptable that the color coatings do not last on newer Kamado Joe's, it is not like they are bottom of the line low cost products?

[Gebo 37]

RIck, you make a very interesting point.

That's a good question. Some of the original daisy wheels didn't seem to peel but some of the later ones did.  Is yours still all intact on the inside/underside?

[Rick in Ontario 140]

Yes it is, the color coating is completely intact. As is the whole daisy wheel.

 

I think that all the peeling components are cast aluminum and I believe my daisy wheel is cast iron? Not sure if that is correct but I think it is.

John;

 

I just watched your pork butt on the Jr. video and aside from now being very hungry, I noticed the daisy wheel on you Jr. does not appear to be peeling?
