Walmart Kamado Sale PSA

Not really. The KJ Jr takes about as long to heat up as my Weber Genesis 2. Obviously you cant cook as much food and there is a little learning curve. But the flavor is much better.

Ended up grabbing me one of these to replace my little ole smokey.

2-4. I would say it’s bigger than you think it is, but obviously not huge. I’ve seen people do like 2 rack of ribs, by rolling them. You can get creative and fit things on.

Smaller pork butts, chuck roasts, steaks, burgers, ect this thing will do with ease. I really got it for the quick weeknight cooks, reverse searing steaks, ect.

I missed the sale a couple weeks ago, but got it this time. And I think it's $20 cheaper this time. I have a blackstone and a pit barrel cooker, so I wanted to add this for smaller stuff and searing steaks/chops.

Two cooks on mine.

1 bad one 1 good

Messed up to thick steaks. Wife was suposed to being him typical walmart steak but ended up with cowboy ribeyes that were real thick and wasnt prepared to reverse sear. So they got overdone.

Did burgers and chicken patties today and they came out real good and juicy.

Gonna have to redeem myself with the steaks. Soon.

Really surprised how long the charcoal lasted today. Came outside just now and it was still holding tight at 350 despite not messing with it and not putting much of the shitty b&b charcoal in it at 12.

I did a choice whole picanha from walmart and it came out great. Only thing i need to figure out is how to keep temp lower. Seemed that it just wouldnt go lower than 275 no matter what.

Some people have been posting the Kamado Classic 1 prices at their local lowes for $374, so maybe check there.

Diat, I would recommend the Ash Basket as well on Kamado Joe's website. It works great. The wings I have been making come out fantastic off the Joe Jr. The little thing is a beast. I cant wait to unbox the BigJoe 3 I also just got.
