I bought the one from Ceramic Grill Store’s website, made for the Louisiana K24. I believe it’s the 17” basket.

Bought this grill somewhere around 2018 for $500 in store at costco. I've been happy with it and gotten lots of compliments. Original heat deflector cracked in half last year (due to heating/cooling) and was replaced by one I ordered from Louisiana grills. Looks like they upgraded the gasket from felt to woven and added the soft close lid feature with the magnet behind the handle. Need to get a new daisy wheel for it and i'm at a loss. Fixing to purchase a rutland gasket for it.

last year it was originally priced at $800, reduced to $599 at costco (2021), clearance priced at $399 and a excellent value, IN STORE. this year (nov 2022) it is $999, not available in store, ONLINE only. costco online says its a "special event", available online only thru 12/4/22. for $1K they can keep it. called local store and verified no local costco stores (4) had it in stock. asked associate why its now $1K. she replied that the $999 includes FREE SHIPPING. double the price in only ONE YEAR and offer "free" shipping. ill be on the lookout for a new closeout item or returned item at $399.....or less. however, if comparing it to LOWES at $1400, $1K looks like a great price.

Hoping that price is just because it off season and it will go down when their summer merchandise comes in for 2023. I want to say that summer 2022 they were $699 at the warehouse near me in CA, and went down to $399. Costco is known to just stop selling from a particular supplier all of a sudden, then switch another manufacturer. They do on occasion have the Kamado Joe event raise show.

Thanks! I appreciate your comment! I’m new to this, and just discovered one of my edits were stuck on pause or slow motion mode. You Tube Studio is being difficult in editing that out so I may be reposting a cleaned up version. I enjoyed the hike immensely, from the River Trailhead on the JMT (just north or the town of mammoth mountain) exiting at the Bishop Trailhead, about 30 miles from the town of Bishop. It was hard, my hip flexor was on fire and it slowed me down but I did over 100 miles and pushed myself beyond what I felt I was capable. At the Bishop Junction I had to make the decision to get out at Bishop or try to go the distance to Whitney. I had several (unconfirmed at the time) reports from other hikers that all National Forests in California were going to be closing due to the fire danger and others made the decision to also leave at Bishop. The tent was just beautiful. I learned so much. Other equipment I used include the Paria Outdoors 15° quilt, the Big Agnes Q-Core mattress. Those combined with a set of 250g merino wool base layer was actually almost overkill in august on the JMT. I slept warm and cozy . Total weight including 10 days of food picked up at Muir Trail Ranch resupply was 30.5 pounds.

@@JRoss707 I will say that most kamado cookers will cook food as intended. I find the KJ to be a much higher quality cooker than most. I also think you are getting what you pay for in a KJ and all that comes with it. I have never had a problem with customer service replacing parts either. I have used other cookers and most do well at cooking food including weber grills (which I have also). I guess I am just partial because in the years I have had my Joe I have not had one problem with it aside from one of the deflector plates cracking in two and I think that was because of the cold weather I was cooking in at the time. The cooker in this video may very well be a good cooker but it has not been around long enough to determine longevity and quality of parts, customer service etc. Most likely one will get what they pay for in this cooker. All of this of course is just my humble honest opinion.

Another thing ... Yes, oh yes -- it was a son-of-a-bitch to unload it and assemble it. I took it apart at Costco and the workers helped me load the parts in. But, my wife and I assembled it at home. But, it sat in the car for about a week, as I tried to find someone to help me get it out (because I'm a little disabled). Well, no one was willing, so wife and I figured out how to do it. Got it assembled Saturday (07-10-2021) and then cured it today, Sun (07-11-2021). So, I plan to cook this week on it. I can't wait to see how my Cooks turn out. I'm coming from a Traeger, which I could never get to go to a high temp. But, I can be assured that this will easily cook at a very high temp and hold it, I think.

To my knowledge, KJ’s Kamados come out of a different supplier in China. Having looked at the KJ at their Costco road shows, I would say KJ has a superior rack and grate system than the Louisiana, and a patented fire box design that is also quite nice. The classic KJ has an 18” cooking grate, and I believe the second rack is slightly smaller to fit the rig that holds the rack. The Louisiana has a 21” main grate (24” is the total circumference of the Kamado), so it has a larger cooking area. The hinge holding on the seem equal on both, the thickness and quality of all ceramics seem equal. KJ also has a superior patented top vent compared to the Louisiana. However, the KJ costs several hundred dollars more.
