Smokin Monkey Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Least expensive cut of meat, I would go Spatchcock Chicken or Chicken Quarters. You will be eager to try it out, and eager to taste the food, this way it’s cheap and a relatively quick cook. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use good charcoal and natural firelighters because the ceramic is pourus. Bring up to temp slowly never use a chimney starter.

I got mine this time last year and best advice as above, is to research away but can't beat trial and error. Invest in a probe thermometer that allows you to keep tabs on meat temp and bbq temp and almost guaranteed that anything you attempt will be delicious! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a great way to start you can you the deflection plate first and/or go direct open side down to most of the cook and flip towards the end. Do you have a thermometer?

Click 'add both to basket' and the discount will show up when you're in checkout. Thanks also for your YouTube content, I managed to order an Aldi Kamado on Sunday on your recommendation and will no doubt be watching some of your videos in order to get the hang of it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotv Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Good price, this model isn't waterproof though if that's important to you. Inkbird do models that are though if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kentish Man Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I bought an Aldi Kamado last year and I still love it, use it at least once a week all year round. Once you've had a spatchcocked chicken cooked on a kamado you'll never go back to oven cooked. Where is the best place to pick up accessories? I'm thinking about steel grill plates for this summer. Any other recommended accessories? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
