and mentioned that I done a brisket on my Big Green Egg. The guy I was playing golf with said, "I have a Big Green Egg that I want to get rid of because I'm through cooking with charcoal. You can have it if you want it."

Nice guy that I am, I agreed to haul it away for him.

It is in pretty good shape. However, it is not a BGE. He bought the ceramic cooker when he was in Japan in 1988. It is a Kamado style cooker. Part of the tag is missing. It looks like it starts with Kinu. . . Most of the interior parts look like my BGE.

Here is what it looks like:

There is a deteriorated ring that sits atop the fire box. Three little blocks sit on this beveled piece. The fire ring sits on those.

I hope someone can answer some questions for me. Does anyone know the make of this unit? Where can I get parts? Is that ring, which is all but rotted away, really necessary? Could you just let the fire ring rest on the fire box like it does on a BGE?

I would sure appreciate any help here.

Thanks guys. (and gals.)
