The issue with all the egg/kamado style cookers is that they are ceramic and prone to cracking.
What you need is the Weber Summit Charcoal. It's their first cooker of that style and by all accounts is FG, but being made of the normal materials it will never crack.

I'd like one of each to add to the collection but I'm not that rich :lol:

That Weber only goes to 300oC, Zips. A proper kamodo goes over 400. And the ceramic is over an inch thick with a lifetime guarantee; you’d have to go some to break it. Also, 85kg round thing is ‘kin hard to lift and correctly position by yourself! 😂

BTW: Entire Aberdeen Angus fillet made good steaks tonight! 😋
Cheers,

As I said, I've not had a go on one. I know the charcoal grill raises and lowers so that you can get the charcoal to within 2" of the food grill. There will be no issues with searing or pizza cooking.

An entire fillet sounds good, I hope you didn't have to share with too many? 8-)

Large bone in pork shoulder, peeled.

Rubbed up.

Thin blue smoke. The grey colour of the bbq is growing on me too, reminds my of the Atlas Grey my first MK1 was.

Some time later.

Even more time later.

That looks very good. I think I’ll try that on Monday bday. The grey reminds me of Graham’s 997; May just be the lighting though🤷‍♂️

Only 5 of us last night, and I might have the meat sweats this morning! 😂
Cheers,

So, whilst we deliberate over Webers I nipped to Homebase this morning to pick up a cheap (£25!) kettle, a charcoal chimney starter, some Weber charcoal and some firelighters. Then onto a local Brazilian butchers (my OH is from Brazil) to get an Argentinian Rump Cap and some peppered sausages. Cut the cap into steaks, seasoned with a little rock salt and then onto the BBQ for 90 seconds per side. Lovely. :ugeek: 8-)

Went on 11.30pm ish, dialled it in to 225f went to bed, added more charcoal 9am, hit 203f internal about 3pm, wrapped in foil and towels and tested it until dinner time.
Used the leftovers for a big batch of chili con carne 8-)

Used up the rest of our Rump Cap on another BBQ yesterday. As the remaining slices had been seasoned since Saturday, they tasted amazing. Topped off with some garlic bread and some Guarana Antartica, the spicy sauces and finally some of our own recipe cajun chicken. Nom nom nom.

Because it's really nice? <shrug> I dunno. I'm no foodie by any means but I was recommended it by the butcher and the OH and it tasted really good to me. Others on here will know better than me I expect.

Argentinian steak seems to be accepted as one of the best. Places like Gaucho make a deal of the fact they use it. And yeah - it is yummy IMHO.

They have a long history of cattle farming so I wouldn't be surprised that you can get great beef from there.

It's also one of the global hubs for factory beef farming though so I wouldn't take it as read that just because it's from Argentina it's going to be good.

I personally wouldn't buy beef that's flown half way round the world as there are many excellent choices from here but each to their own :).
