Big green egg...

Komodo cookers like the egg are great cookers, but they are often referred to as smokers. This is certainly not the case,... smokers generally operate at low heat and cook over several hours. The ceramic komodo cookers like the egg operate at very high heat levels and cook very quickly. Despite this difference, when using lump charcoal the egg delivers a decent smoky flavor.

The egg also functions as a grill. I had one for a few years and ultimately sold it in favor of a traditional smoker for bbq and a gas pit for grilling. But if your looking for the best of both worlds in a single unit the egg is a good choice.

They can certainly maintain low temps for long hours.

I've had a few folks tell me this, but with mine I had a hard time keeping that 200-225 mark while still giving enough smoke for butts or ribs.

I've had no problem maintaining 200-225 for at least 12 hrs.

I've only heard great things about them

I admire your passion, but it's not even close. A clay planter pot with an electric element does not equal a ceramic.

I admire ingenuity. The cheapest kamado-type grill cost about $6oo.

there is no way and I repeat no way that a clay pot cooker could replicate an Egg or Weber Smokey Mountain. It may work OK for a cook or two, but will eventually become too much work to make it worth while. You will have to replace the hot plate a lot as it is not made to be held inside an oven.

Is the weber s moutain like the bullet smokers.Also what is the difference
