So I inherited a kamado style grill...

It's an off-brand "super q grill". Measures the same as a medium egg. Needs some tlc but still works fine. Can't wait to do some cookin. If it works out, I'll throw some money at a grill dome.
What should I cook first???

that thing used to sell at walmart for under $200. any clue how old it is?

My first cook was a Boston butt. Hard to screw it up and leaves you plenty of drinking time
Posted on 4/2/13 at 8:24 pm to Coater
Recipe? I have no idea how to use this thing.

I agree about the Boston Butt for your first long cook. Google Elder Ward's recipie.
The key is maintaining temperature. My first long cook I had my fire go out while I was sleeping.

Grab some coarse dizzy dust and rub it and put in the fridge until you're ready to smoke. Throw it on the smoker with some hickory mixed in with lump charcoal at 225 until internal temp is 200. Let it rest for an hour while wrapped up in towels in a cooler (no ice--just letting it rest). Invest about $50 in a maverick thermometer et 73.

Catch some fish or other critters in that pond and light it up.

Give me the rundown on how you set it up to cook. How much charcoal? How do you light it?
Also, it if feasible to think that I wi be able to grill supper after work on it or is it too time consuming to start up, get hot, cook, and cool off?

I've got a large bge so I can't speak specifically to yours. I usually fill it up with lump charcoal with hickory scattered throughout. I use a platesetter for indirect heat and put a pan for drippings. I set the butt on a rib rack usually.

You need lump charcoal, something to allow for indirect heat, and you will be pretty much good to go for low and slow cooking.
Turn vents on for high heat to get the fire going. Let it warm up good, but do not let the fire get out of control and way above the desired cooking temp.. Once you are comfortable with the temp stability, start cooking.
I would consider a dry run to be safe.

Good advice. Also it is very hard to cool down if you overshoot your temp so keep an eye on it. I made that mistake last time and it took an hour to cool down enough

I'm not going to try anything long duration this week but i will mess around with workign th efire and getting the temps to stabilize. How do you light it? I've seen several ways (chimney, wad fire starter, torch, electric starter)?
what brand of lump to use? Is something from a local grocery store good to start off with?

Same as the bge brand from what I'm told. I use those little square starter pieces to start it.
Posted on 4/3/13 at 9:06 am to Coater
so you just pile the charcoal in and put one of these type things down in there and light it and youre good to go?

Yes although I've never used that brand. Looks similar to what I've used. I light the top and let it burn from top to bottom as I smoke/grill

So when i took the top band off the repair a crack, it was worse than i thought. Here's the repairs so far:
Broken Top

That's man work, nicely done.
Posted on 4/9/13 at 9:42 am to Coon
Is JB Weld non-toxic when heated?

Electric starter is the best hands down...
