OK, not a Kamado but a Primo 18.25". Sorry for the confusion.

Heat Wave Pool & Spa in Boulder Colorado. Largest unit. Paid $650.

What is the diameter of the grill??

Yeah, I'm betting it isn't the "Largest", a #9 at that price.

Greetings,
The local Kamado dealer tells me that the fire box if guaranteed for life
against cracking due to cold. I live at 8,500 ft above sea level and it gets
cold here. Had a little snow just a week ago! Anyway, the Kamando supposible
can be used year round without having to worry about it being too cold. Is
this true?



Mine cracked but it had nothing to do with the cold. I'm in San Antonio and it
rarely gets much below freezing.

They replaced it without a quibble. I had been warned by other users that I'd be
lucky if it arrived intact but I guess I was because it was okay.

Maybe Harry D. will share further problems with condensation/freezing. I believe
they had to replace his entire unit.

Now...this is the Kamado company that makes the tiled ones, right?

Correct. I have a tiled #7. They ain't fast but they stand behind their product.

I have posted extensively about shut down procedures at below freezing
temps because condensation forming ice just under the Chinese hat
thingie destroyed the dome. K couldn't match the teal mosaics, so the
sent a whole unit.
Care needs to be taken and the timing is critical at shut down. The
coals must be out but the K still needs to be hot with the dome temp
at 150 - definitely below 170 - when you open both dampers again.
This allow the hot air to vent without shedding moisture inside the
dome. I keep my K's under cover. Those warm Weather orchids at the K
factory don't know from cold snowy Weather.

However, Richard did post min/max temp changes that the K can stand
without sustaining damage. It is a decent range. In short my K may
be fired up at 0 F for lo/slo or up as high as 350, but I won't go to
600 for a steak.

All that info is in the K Forum archives. HTH.

As the owner of a six month old K, I'm glad to hear that...

Grill marks look good on a weiner, although I prefer gu-rill marks!
