@Alex with the Kamado Joe. If you are using the slo roller, can you add more charcoal mid cook if you start to run out, or do you even need to? I hear people raving about it and it looks like a great option.
The Kamado Joe seems harder to find around me and most places are sold out. The primo eggs are within an hour driving distance and I may drive around on the weekend and check them out. The BGE’s are available in a short drive, but the price point while initially lower climbs substantially with the additional accessories that comes standard with the Joe.
No one around here has them all in one building to see them side by side.

I can't imagine a large enough kamado running out of fuel at a low and slow temp… they run for days!

I agree with a lot of the points Mclain brought up about the Primo, I have one of the Junior sized ones and the oval shape is incredibly handy as well as being able to flip the grates. I'm envious of my neighbor's KJ XL, the hinge design is much better designed than the BGE and the gasket material is woven stainless steel so it's not a wear item like a typical gasket would be. I use my Large BGE the most and it's a fine product but if I was in the market for a new one, I'd go with either the KJ XL or a Large Primo.

Delivered and built @mclaincausey @LewisStonehouse
We seasoned it but then i had to head off to do something else, so still waiting to try the first meal cooked on it.

Nice! OK Joe’s has a good reputation and the walls look decent thick. I’m sure it’s gonna produce great food and looks to be capable of direct cooking too.

Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone!
We’re smoking another pork butt at HQ today, this time carnitas style which will make the meat part of burritos. Marinated in orange and lime juice overnight, then dry rubbed with salt, pepper, sugar, chipotle, garlic, onion, oregano and chilli powders.

I had no idea that Cinco de Mayo was celebrated in the UK.

@Alex - I find the double indirect method pretty useful to generate more airflow… but damn does it use a lot of fuel. Almost 2x the burn rate when cooking ~275
-
@manufc10 I am not sure it is really, but we do not need an excuse for a burrito night
You are 100% right about that @AdamC !!!
Couldn't agree with you more.I don't see any Tapatio or Valentina up in that mix though ;). Is Mexican hot sauce something that's readily available in England? Genuine question, I'm genuinely curious about that.

Made short ribs this weekend. Seasoned with Salt,Pepper,Onion,Garlic and Paprika. It was my first cook using the Jealous Devil charcoal and it worked like a charm,keeping my indirect cooker at a consistent 275 for the approximately 5hr cook. @mclaincausey I noticed your Short Ribs had 4 bones. We’re they Chuck or Dino ribs. These were delicious. Like having Mini-Briskets. Made 2 racks.
