Smoke Bloke Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I’ve been cooking with a Weber Master Touch for several years but I’m seriously thinking of upgrading to a Kamado Joe Classic. Given that storage space is limited, is there any advantage in keeping the Weber? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamG Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 you could always use it with the kamado to serve full meals that require different temps or direct and indirect? A couple of suggestions i can think of are; pulled pork in your weber and pizza in the kamado....with some of that pulled pork for topping. grilled veg in the weber and a nice meaty pie in the kamado😋 I would be reluctant to get rid just yet and see if you still have a use for it after a couple of months.....unless space really is limited. I say this cos im considering getting a mini kamado to be used as a 'support' grill😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoke Bloke Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 Thanks for the suggestions, I may just wait and see how it goes but I also have a ooni 3 pizza oven that could fulfil most of the functions you mention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chairmaker Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Keep it. The Weber will find good work doing steaks and quicker cooks. You can get the food much nearer the coals for searing. You could also pick up a rotisserie kit and use it for that. The best rib-eye roasts and chicken that I've even cooked was on the rotisserie. Well worth £100 (I have the stainless version if this one) https://www.amazon.co.uk/onlyfire-BRK-6025-Enamelled-Rotisserie-Charcoal/dp/B0757HLNF1/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=rotisserie+ring+57cm+stainless+steel&qid=1594567468&s=outdoors&sr=1-1 The Kamado will excel at low and slow.

Smoke Bloke Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 I’ve got a rotisserie for my Weber, I was thinking that if I got a Kamado Joe I’d probably get a Joetisserie to go with it. But as I tend to do more fast cooks than slow ones I’m now reconsidering whether to bother to upgrade or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamG Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Sounds like your best choice would be to wait until your current grill is on its last legs before getting a kamado or another weber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, shiny new toys! 😁 What was the thinking for getting a Kamado? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoke Bloke Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 As you say, “Shiny new toys” plus I get the impression that they’re easier to regulate and also the ceramics gives better insulation and heat retention leading to more efficient charcoal use.
