TrulySNAFU Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) Hi, my name is Alex, I'm close to half a century old, born and raised in Germany. Worked for a German company in UK till 01/04/ "and then came Covid" (no worries I'm fine, only my job died). Got some experience in turning meat into coal on a lot of different bbqs. Recently started low and slow on a ALDI kettle (which will be returned shortly). However, I ordered the ALDI flower pot (aka kamado) and hope the quality is better than the kettle grill. Erm, totally forgot: I live on the city where ladies used to ride naked through the city (Coventry). See you later if you are an alligator, but see you in a while if you're a crocodile.

Curious as yo why you are returning the kettle? is it bad or just not needed after getting the kamado? Oh no, I ordered another kettle (this time a outback) , Just dont wont to pay 300+ for a 22" (57cm) kettle with an ash tray. Whats wrong with the ALDI kettle? I grew up with ALDI. I know the "weekly Special Buys" since I can remember. So I expect "German Quality" for a good price. But this kettle is flimsy, cheap (see pic). Also it is a compact kettle, which means for low and slow the kettle cloggs with the ash. Nevertheless I heard good things about the Flower Pot Cooker on the German boards and ordered one.

hoogl Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Ouch, Yeah i'd return that Kettle. I do agree you get what you pay for. Hopefully your flower pot comes soon and is in good working order. I do like a wee special buy myself. Just sad I can't justify the Kamado yet. Maybe next year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrulySNAFU Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 On the website it says "First level cooking grill (16"/41.2cm diameter)", So would say it is size M? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
