So picked up a Vision on clearance - had to... it was calling my name all season long on every visit to Costco.... Don't care what any Primo/BGE owners say... this is a GREAT cooker at a GREAT price (it is made in china though).... Im sure there are some upsides to the other cookers that justify the extra cost - but for your first entrance into the ceramic grill market - this is a no-brainier.
Now for my question...
Been reading around and have heard that kamados, in general, hold the temp so well that it may cook meat too fast. Is this true/something I should be concerned with? (I have only tested it holding temps and grilled - no long cook yet)
From what I gather - I would attribute that to people overshooting their temp and not being able to bring it back to the range needed.
Have been CRAVING a brisket but think I'll start with a butt for the first long cook on the Vision. Have a 14" iron pizza pan for a deflector - plan to load the fire box with lump and add 1/2 chimney of briquettes to get it started (should get the temp going very slowly) I also plan to use the water bowl from my Bandera (have never smoked without it so Ill go with what i know).
Any other suggestions for my first go at it?
Also - this will be my first smoke on something other than my Bandera... can someone explain to me why I feel so bad? Its like I'm cheating on my wife (ok... not really... but I think you know what I mean... )
