Hi guys - Sorry to come in new straight with a question
Posted: 27 Oct 2015, 14:53Hello,
Sorry to come right in with a Q about buying something and not a tip, but you guys seemed like the best to ask.
I've been perfecting my bbq style using a slow cooker and the grill for the past few years because like many Londoners - I lived in a flat with no outdoor space for a bbq. However, I have just moved house and have a garden now and want to treat myself to a bbq.
I was originally thinking the classic dome Weber but came across the Kamado style and think I'm sold... As much as I'd love one, I can't afford a BGE, but spotted a cheaper brand on an eBay sale from a company called KamadoChef?
I looked deeper and checked their site, which doesn't have a huge amount of detailed imagery, plus I can't see any reviews online. I asked them some Q's through eBay and they gave a fair response that they are new and need to get products in hands to to start things moving, which I understand having been there before myself.
But equally, if I manage to get one of these things that seems like a relative bargain for 500 quid, it's a big investment if it's no good... I certainly can't afford to throw that money away.
I've looked for tips and tricks on what to look out for, but it tends to be comparing a BGE and a KamadoJoe - If anybody has any advice on this, it would be hugely appreciated. It's a two hour round drive for me to drive and see the bbq, so I could do it, but equally would rather save myself if somebody has been there, done that and got the t-shirt on a similar situation before - a little bit of charing is lovely, but burned is never good.
Thanks and sorry again... I promise to get stuck in and sharing properly once I'm all set up.

"because we are a new company I have to say no but reviews of the actual product will be the same as the 'Big Green Egg' and the 'KamadoJoe' as this is exactly the same product at under half the price we have bought well.. I can however contact a recent buyer who purchased 2 models who is over the moon with his Kamadochef and I am sure he will be happy to contact you if this would help you come to a decision. I understand people feel because we are selling much cheaper than other brands there has to be a catch, truly there isn't. These are an absolute steal and their performance is not affected in any way whatsoever. Please feel free to ask any questions you have and I will do my best to answer them. Thank you kindly for your interest. This makes a fab Christmas gift too."
