Thanks! 24 minutes ago, Kentish Man said: 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? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbottstar Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Hi all, I finally managed to get the Aldi Kamado and am waiting for it to be delivered. I'm new to the forum and I look forward to learning more from you all! @Bbq life ukI have been watching your videos on youtube and I cannot wait to get started!!! Can I ask everyone a couple of questions please? What your essential accessories would be to buy? Fuel? What fuel should I be using and where is best to buy? Thanks for reading! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbq life uk Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Hi accessories depend on what you want to cook. Essential is a thermometer preferably a wires one like the inkbird ibt-4xs so you can monitor cooks without opening. Alternatively you could use a instant read but you would need to open the lid to check it. I know of an offer where you can have both for £38 Charcoal im currently using big k 14kg Flama Restaurant Grade Charcoal (BCH14) £25 for 14kg on there website. before this i used everburning charcoal its about the same price. Any more questions just ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grill grates 4mm steel Deflector looks to be more of a pizza Stone and could be a wider diameter. Cradle looks to be well made with good quality castors. However the grill diameter is “only” 16” so might be too small for some. However £350 yes it’ll do for me ??? How did this work out, I see that this is coming back in to stock at ALDI soon. Worth the £350? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul6057 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 P.S. I figured I'd just post and ask the question rather than read through the 23 pages of this thread, apologies if this is a bit lazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s had a lot of use over the last couple of years and been absolutely fine. Probably needs the seals replacing this year but all good considering the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotv Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 According to a post on HUKD they're meant to be in stock again tomorrow @ 8am to order if interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul6057 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) Yeah, their website on sale date says today, but it's definitely not been on sale today. We'll see tomorrow. I don't need one and I don't really want one, but I really want one, if you can understand that. Edited March 25, 2021 by paul6057 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul6057 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I looked this morning at about 7.15, and it wasn't on sale yet. I looked again at 7.45, and I was 11,000th in a queue, so funnily enough, they were all sold out. Of course, the vultures were swooping never missing an opportunity to gouge someone - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aldi-Kamado-Ceramic-Egg-BBQ-Grill-Smoker-Brand-New/184721875061?hash=item2b02482075:g:3cQAAOSwXGNgWDkd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 At that price it is pretty good value as it is also supplied with your own full time Michelin Star BBQ chef... 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoogl Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I'm going to bid on that one from Ebay @Wade unfortunately I'm 10p short. Maybe if I start a Gofundme? 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was up at 5. Refreshed page every 30 mins. It wasn't up till 8. refreshed and was sold out immediately. Refreshed a few more times and the add button appeared but was still sold out then eventually one appeared in my basket so bought it straightaway. I agree the vultures are the worst. They usually use scripts/bots to make bulk purchases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calum Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Panic over. I had to use two spanners, one to stop the wheel spinning and the other to turn the nut. I feel quite lucky now, after I saw the delivery driver basically drop the whole thing off the lorry I thought it was game over. I hope everyone's arrives soon!!

FlyRyder Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Hi all, I’ve been lurking for some time, great forum with really useful tips and info. I would really like to use a charcoal basket with mine. Which one do others use and what would you recommend? I don’t want to buy one and discover it doesn’t fit!

ben_bristol Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 ‘Morning BBQ lovers. I got lucky with Thursday’s stock at Aldi so now reading all about it here and related sites — great info thanks all, looking forward to my first cook. Can anyone advise if leaving the Kamado outside in a sheltered spot until Autumn, in the cover provided, is a bad idea? I’ve read that condensation can be a problem but rain cover should prevent that? Before I purchased my plan was to move it in and out of the shed to cook but I realise now it ain’t that easy. Alternative is perhaps to build a ‘bin shelter’ on the patio to provide protection or similar, but I’ve got a lot of DIY on already ... Cheers, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmba Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Great to see so many newcomers here, enjoy your AKs people! I've been using mine for a year but only now am I attempting a forerib of beef (2 bone) for Sunday lunch. Seen a few US videos on cooking methods but if anyone has recommended methods for the AK, be interested to hear from you. It's a big joint, some 4kg, so plan to reverse sear - all on the AK. It's pedigree longhorn forerib, so an expensive cut - can't risk stuffing it up! Any pointers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
