Ams1987 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Just took the plunge this morning. Got a big brick b charcoal bbq and an oklahoma joe Highland offset, and a wood pizza oven but always liked the look of a kamado. And for the cost can't go wrong. A mate just bought a masterbuilt for 650 and this doesnt look to far off haha. We'll see when it arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrackWilliams Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 @Kentish Man I received a text at 4.30pm yesterday saying a delivery would be today, it was dropped off at 9am this morning. The delivery guys brought it into our house and it's currently a feature in our living room(!) - I'm waiting on my neighbour popping by to help me lift it into the garden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kentish Man Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 That’s great - hopefully mine will arrive soon and will similarly be in good condition Good that the delivery guys were helpful. I’ll be asking them, to take it down the side of the house to my patio if possible! How long did it take you to build it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for putting it together, twenty mins or so - the longest job was taking the sticky tape off of the felt pieces, took forever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy Folks I must admit, having purchased and then stumbled across the forum and reading through last years comments, I was really worried - I'm normally quite good at doing my research but dived straight in! I was very relieved when I unpacked mine The returns policy that comes in the box looks quite good - free returns within 60 days, though does say you need the original packaging (mine is now in the recycling, so I hope there's no issues)! Obvs comes with the three-year warranty, though I must say, the quality is very, very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered which grate you bought that fits- was it the 15.5inch one? (https://www.cast-iron-grate.co.uk/15-5-cast-iron-grate-one-piece.html). Thanks for the tip on this by the way I've been searching for ages to find one in advance. Would really appreciate knowing if it fits and if so I'll go ahead and order. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a quality piece of kit, you're going to love it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I so I hope they haven't over sold! They gone in and out of stock all week. They showed as out of stock by mid morning on Sunday, and then came back in, and have been oscillating most of the week I think. I’m sure you’ll get your order! Hopefully you’ll get a dispatch email in the next day or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice bit of kit? Had it 3 years now, can’t fault it. The only thing I don’t like is the gas starter, never use it. Doing a brisket on it tomorrow.
