I feel the same way. My Kamado #7 has never had a problem in the 8 years
I've owned it, but that was then and Richard Johnson's Kamado company and
product has fallen into the crapper. I am very enthusiastic about the superb
way in which kamados work as a bbq pit, and then are able to turn around and
function just as superbly as a high-heat grill, and even as a pizza and
bread oven. IMO, the kamado (Primo, Big Green Egg, Komodo-Kamado, et al) is
the best outdoor cooking equipment around and can easily replace the
stand-alone grill and bbq pit. Fortunately, there are several kamado makers
who currently produce a very high-quality product and who also run their
companies in a competent fashion.
