Got a Kamado,

Bodemeister · 05-14-2012, 07:12 PM

I bought another Imperial Kamado a few weeks back. I had a larger on last year, but resold it. Really regreted that after learning more about them thanks to some stories that I read in this forum. So I found another, its a #4 that needed a little repair, and a new heat gasket.I followed up on the Humpty Dumpty story on here and am now finished! The old school craftsmanship behind the way these smokers were made is awesome. I am so glad I found this site, and learned from it. Here are some pics, I hope you all like!

NICE!!! I Almost bought one yrs ago but it was when they started having quality issues so I didn't want to take the chance

Nice restoration job!

Did you have to do any work on the firebox or fire ring?

Awesome job. Here's my before and after pics of my Imperial Kamado #5 purchased in the early 90s and given to me by my grandpa a couple of weeks ago.

I don't have the top slider (rain cap only)... Does anyone know if the BGE Daisy Wheel will fit an IK?
