Thanks for the review on the char-griller. Looks like a winner. I think the only variable left is how it holds up over time.

Darn good review JM.
I've never been a Char-Griller fan due to build quality (I've owned two of their offsets in the past), but it really looks like they hit a home run this time out with the CGK. I'm not really looking for a kamado style cooker, but if I ever do I'll probably go the CGK route thanks to the price. Keep up the good work my friend and thanks for the videos. |

nice smoke ring on that butt. it looked good.
I like the 3rd vid. I didn't watch all of 1 and skipped 2. (slow internet here) I can afford this one but if I have 3 UDS's configured for hot grillin and "low and slow", what will this thing be doing that I'm not already doing. I'm not complaning, just need convincing. I see your exhaust was almost closed. is that a kamado thing? I always thought that was not good. Also, the UDS trick to temp control is to only start a few coals and let the temp rise to where you need it. I think you got too much fire going before you tried to control it. Just my 2 cents, I know nothing about eggs. in your UDS, if you use charcoal, use RO. kingsford has a smelly problem when cooking low-n-slow. I have about 15 bags left of kingsford. I stock up during the summer sales but I only use it for grillin. nice vid. I haven't gotten logged back into youtube since they required me to get a google account. I need to get around to it.

I noticed in the video that you placed the cooking grate in after you reached temp. Is this a personal preference or a reason behind doing it. I would just have it in the cooker while it went to temp. Still learning.....

I don't think it matters much one way or the other.

Saw one at Lowes, very clever design. (yes I know its a metal egg) The versatility of it will clearly give Weber some competition. With Weber you have to have both a Kettle and a WSM to do the same things this appears to do. I am starting to think these guys might have built a better mousetrap.

Thanks for taking the time to post this series of videos. It's remarkable how shut the vents were during your butt cook. Do you think the open slats in the bottom vent (where the numbers are) are allowing the air to flow in? It certainly looks rock solid on holding the temp though, even if that is the case.
