I have never had food as good as cooked in a kamado bbq, also knowned in the US as "The Big Green Egg" by one manufacturer. Anyone who hasn't had the pleasure of eating bbq prepared by one is missing out. http://www.imperialkamado.com/ or http://www.biggreenegg.com/

I've heard that as well. I remember a guy telling me how efficient they are - barely using any wood or coals.

Yea, the coals go at the bottom of the bbq and the meat sits about 3 feet above it. It gets to 450 degrees in it very quickly, my mom used to cook a large turkey in them in about 2 hours and it was soo juicy. They are double walled ceramic at the bottom and about 1" think at the top. Very heavy needless to say.

That's right !! I forgot all about those things.. I used one for about a year over in Hawaii back in '71.. (Navy).. Those things were the best !
Big old heavy hinged lid, all ceramic, little tile cap on the top.. It didn't matter what you put in those things, it would come out tasty.. Better than tasty..
I tried to get the landlord to give it to me when I was discharged, but she refused.. The day before I shipped out, she tried to have it moved.. The guys helping her dropped it, and it broke into a dozen pieces.. What a shame..
I'm going to check on those sites you listed.. This is really great news.. Thks...
(PS: Makes ya wonder where Webber got his idea, eh..)

Hey....that Imperial Kamado place is right in Carson, CA. Hmmmm, I've been needing a new BBQ!
