Hello, I have been looking to get a Kamado for a while I love the look and the ease of maintenance of the Blaze. My one question is how hot does the exterior of the Blaze get compared to a Ceramic Kamado? Does it get much hotter than a BGE or KJ?

I have the Primo Oval XL and shape really is very useful, can lay multiple full racks of ribs without having to cut them, and with the extra racks can have two tiers of cooking surfaces. The offset cooking too is great! I agree they could add better gaskets, lifting hing and update their chimney top. The Blaze looks like a BEAST! Does it get hot to the touch when you're cooking? That would be concern. Thanks for putting this together!

@gwynmorris7199

3 жыл бұрын

when a material convects heat (and aluminum is very good at that) that heat has to be replaced to maintain temp. Notice the 'Hot' warning triangle on the front. To replace the heat you need to give more air to the fire. The unit is moving more air through the cooking chamber - more air in means more air out - and that carries away moisture from the meat. For me ceramic is better - but not the best. Both ceramic and aluminum kamados get too hot during long cooks. BTW aluminum corrodes - by nature, aluminum is a reactive metal - it goes dull grey and pitted. There is not enough, for me, to choose the Blaze over the ceramic. Probably better than the 4k - this is destined to be a dog-of-a-kamado in a short time. IMHO.

Picking a Kamado is so hard. The Blaze looks really nice, but seems lacking in accessories (unless you count their outdoor kitchen stuff, which is just insanely priced... I mean the sleeve for the Blaze is $1100, and that doesn't include the cost of the island you'd build around it) compared to Kamado Joe. But I've heard so many horror stories about the top vent on Kamado Joe, and am really paranoid about a cat knocking something over and cracking a ceramic Kamado too.

So much miss information in this video. The Large Big Green Egg and the Classic KJ are the same size grid (18”). The next largest Egg is the XL at 24” and the Big Joe is the same 24”. Your brisket example of the Big Joe being too much space makes no sense as the Egg doesn’t have a model in between 18 and 24” either. The Egg continues to the XXL which is a 29” grid. The BGE Small and MiniMax are the same size as the Joe Jr. For BGE you claim sizes are an advantage, on the KJ you dismiss this size for something you wouldn’t want to put on your patio. If you sell these things and are going to make videos you need to be a bit more responsible with the inaccurate info on an otherwise well produced video

Examples would be a 2 piece heat deflector would be nice for making it easier to add more charcoal if needed. Also removing the grates are inconvenient to remove when loaded up with food if you need to add more charcoal or smoking woods.
