When I pull the trigger, looks like it will be a kamado joe!

Thanks all for your helpful input.

oh that egg on ebay, I had it in my watch list too - we'd all seen it, lets face it!

However, I messaged the seller to check the size, as it says LARGE in the description but the plate setter was medium. Turns out it was a medium egg. I wouldn't have paid 420 for a medium one, let alone the 600+ it went for!

Here's a very thorough review of the Kamado Joe for anyone who might be interested in it

If you could pick up in leeds, this would work out slightly cheaper than the 650 including an accessory.

"No the inside isn’t glazed. It is ever so slightly porous hence the reason we recommend that you don’t use lighter fluid when firing it up"

Just for everyones info, I will be launching the IBQN shop in the next week or so and will be offering discounts on the Kamado Joes plus other products. Cant give out pricing yet still working on it and logistics, But watch this space!


Any news on the store?

Look forward to seeing your store Toby, can anyone give an honest opinion on the merits of the BGE compared to the Joe? I have a friend who loved the Egg at Grillstock but can't justify the cash so I suggested the Joe but don't want to point him in the direction of a bum product, is it cheaper for a reason? Especially as I'm intending to get the Egg myself
