Char-Griller 16619 Kamado Kooker Charcoal Barbecue Grill and Smoker, Black Reviews
| 58 of 58 people found the following review helpful  Trouble in Paradise?, By Ben M. Van Ord (Buchanan, NY USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Char-Griller 16619 Kamado Kooker Charcoal Barbecue Grill and Smoker, Black (Lawn & Patio) I have had this grill for a week. I absolutely love it. Its ability to QUICKLY climb to high heat or to HOLD heat and bake in a moist sealed environment puts it into a different category than a gas grill or a Weber Kettle grill.I have cooked a pork rib roast at 350 that came out great. With a moist and smoky environment. I have had it up to 650 and did fabulous burgers. They had a brown and crispy surface with out being dried out. The problem comes in when I want to get it below 300. There is too much air coming in from the bottom vent. I was going to seal the back of the vent where it seals to the ash pan. When I removed the ash trap to work on the vent-- I found that the entire round ash trap bottom is just tacked to the top in a butt joint and there is already a gap at one place where it is separating from the flat top part that butts up against the sealing gasket for the ash trap. The metal is deformed in another area directly behind...

The price differential was substantial and we doubted whether it could perform up to the competition. However, for $300 vs $1,000 how could we go wrong?Since our recent purchase, we have smoked pork back ribs twice, pot roast, smoked salmon, and a pork roast (we only missed one weekend for grilling). The results have been wonderful. There is a learning curve in shifting from a traditional gas grill. We had to gain experience utilizing the right proportion of fuel and the proper air flow on the Big Red through the vents at top and bottom. But we are having great success and learning quickly. Now, we really crave the slow cooking/smoking of the ribs (210 degrees for 6 to 7 hours with a Kansas City style rub and the last hour with Sweet Baby Rays.) The slow cooking is a very easy and low-attention cooking process. This is in sharp contrast to the higher temp cooking on a gas...

I was tired of eating out as of late and found this piece in Gander mountain. I have been looking at this type of grill for some time. The price of the Big Green Egg and others that are comparable were a bit much for me at this time. When I found this grill I decided to give it a try and got it on sale for $219. I have cooked on it for 4 continous nights with great success. Steaks, burgers, and ribs (slow smoked)all turned out very good. The grill went together very easy and all the parts seem to be of quality materials. I have been grilling and cooking for a long time. The only flaw I have discovered is the temperature gauge. It requires calibration in the oven. After I found that it was off by 40 degrees, I found that there is no way to adjust. The instructions say to use a crescent wrench, but there is no way of doing so.I have only used lump charcoal and some Weber fire starters as suggested with... Read more |
