Kamado Tile Grill... Looks GREAT except one little place around the rim of the grill where a few tiles have fallen off. The rest of the grill is in great shape. One of the wheels on the base is stuck, but that is a simple fix! PICK UP ONLY!!!!!!!! ( you will need truck, trailer and something to move the grill with it is very heavy)
CASH ONLY!!!! NO CHECKS!!!! original price $1000 asking $450 OBO!!! serious offers ONLY!!!!

height 57" with base
width 26"

I have heard that these cookers have cooking characteristics that can rival the BGE when new. But they have a horrible track record for reliability and customer support by the company. For some background check out: http://www.kamadofraudforum.org/viewforum.php?f=13

What he said. If you read the above forum, you'll come to realize that those few tiles that are falling off are just the beginning...don't do it!

i've always been told to avoid those guys and that fourm is the clincher.

I will certainly not be defending this company as I have also read the stories on that forum. That said I own a K7 and have had it now for 5 years with no problems at all. I love mine.
