I saw this pit at Lowe's. Anybody ever used one? I'm thinking of
getting an Egg but this thing is almost half the cost. http://www.thebayou.com/Pages/Cypress%20Series.html Cam |

How much is it if you don't mind me asking? I use a New Braunfels offset smoker. Paid $180.00 for it about 10 years or so ago and it is still going strong, but I honestly don't smoke that much. -- Peace!

On first impression, it is a handsome piece. I quickly scanned the url so I saw nothing related to circumfrence of the grill, weight, etc. I would also want to know where it is manufactured and by whom. The price, which includes shipping (it cost me over 250.00 just to ship my Kamado) seems real reasonable if the product is good. No details on the chimney control that I could see, nor do I particularly like what I see regarding the draft door (the big issue there is how tightly does it seal, and is it easy to slide when it gets heated up). I like the base and the hefty casters. I would pay attention to the fuel 'pan' setup and if there is the ability to put a deflector between the fire and the cooking grate, just in case you want to do some jerky. I think it deserves closer examination and discovery; I wouldn't kick it down the road just yet. :-) I'll swing by my local Lowes and see if that store has one in stock. You may have stumbled onto a good deal in ceramic cookers. -- Dave What is best in life? "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women." -- Conan |

So that seems to indicate it hasn't been around for very long or it isn't real popular....yet. I also did a quick peek at Amazon, and although it lists the cooker there are no reviews. -- Dave What is best in life?

It looked well constructed but I know these things depend on the quality of ceramic. I'd hate to spend that much and need to replace it soon. I think it's a brand new model |

Menards has a competing version now as well - looks like its
manufactured by "Big Steel Keg". $600 There is a website up comparing these to the Kamados: http://www.bigsteelkeg.com/ They also have a forum up: http://bubbakeg.com/bboard/index.php...1&boa rd=12.0 Looks interesting.

It's not inexpensive. The bbqguru pit regulation devices are wonderful when you want to do lazy Q with lump or charcoal briquettes for fuel. Set and forget. My Kamado without a Guru is terrific. My Kamado with a Guru is exquisite, especially for overnight bbq sessions. For daytime sessions, I don't use it much unless I will be away from the house for most of the day. -- Dave What is best in life?

Especially around here during orchard prunings burn season. The Guru temperature control devices are good stuff, though, and far less expensive than their newly developed line of pits. -- Dave What is best in life?
