Dont want a wsm my uds does what that can do. would like a kamado but prices in uk are way out of my range
apart from the Char grill kamado 440. was also looking at the weber 26in but there dont seem to be many addons for it.
what eles could i look at names brands ?
Or if anyone got a brandnew kamado joe going spare then iam ya man

Knowing the margins on the Kamados, you wont see them below the £650 mark here, shipping is the biggest killer and they need to be sent out on pallets so by the time you have added shipping you are still hitting the £700 mark.

I have been using (because we use the gas version for ready steady q and kids q) the outdoor chef easy charcol 570 which is a viable alternative to a Weber. It has a shield between the charcoal and the grate with a fat colelctor in the centre so no flair ups. It has a big vent handle, lid holder and tool hooks. by the time you add those options or similar to the weber its a cost effective unit.

i goin to read a bit more on a few diff places and try make my mind up dont want to buy somthing then
someone say didnt u look at so so and then say O poo. more suggestions welcome

What are you looking for in terms of capability?

A WSM cooks different to a UDS but in terms of layout they're obviously very similar. Would you be intrigued by a self build with materials coming in within your budget? If so then a Cajun microwave might be cool.

Another thought is keeping an eye out for a Cactus Jack on Fleabay.

These would be my thoughts if I had 400 notes burning a hole in my sky rocket.

I'd get a small big green egg for £450, just big enough for 2 to 4 people and can cook from 200 to 800 degF

[Toby]

but by the time you add the extras, it would be well above £450

[BigM]

yeah i like the egg but with plate setter and stand your well above 500£

i just goin to keep lookin but may buy the chargrill kamado

Or what about maybe speaking to a fabricator....they may be able to knock something bespoke up for you?

Another alternative could be to get a Weber OTG off ebay for £65 and then get loads of cool accessories like a smokenator, rib-o-lator and rotisserie ring from the US and you'll still have enough money left over for a pizza stone. Then you've got a great cooker that can handle anything on a limited budget.
