Found Old 1970 green Kamado for $150 |
|

Hi all name is Paul I'm new to this forum. very interesting glad I found it becouse I was looking to buy a new Kamado someday
Anyhow
I found a green ceramic Kamado that looks to be in great shape for $150. The owner says its from the 1970's and has around an 18 grate. If it's in good shape Is this thing worth buying
I have been around BBQ for quite sometime. always wanted a BGA or Kamado right now I BBQ on a Weber Smokey mountain and a BBQ galore offset. I was about to order a stocker for the WSM but then I found the Kamado for $150 now I don't know if I should buy the Kamado or get the Stocker for my WSM and offset
Any input would be much appreciated |

Welcome, Paul,
If the unit really is in good condition, then I'd say that's an excellent price to get into ceramics. Ceramic grills cost upward of $500 new. If you can snag it, you'll have fun with it, I'm sure. _________________ Don't Be A Richard |

There's a few guys on the BBQ-Brethren forum that collect & restore old Kamados...
Yours could be a Pachinko Palace one, or maybe a Imperial Kamado, or a Sazco. |

You got a steal, NICE!
You have the original patented kamado from Farhad Sazegar. What a find. I'm jealous.
Search the forum for "Sazco" and you'll find the whole story.

Sazco cookers were made by the gentleman who obtained the utility patent on kamado-style cookers. (The replica patent that you may see being auctioned on eBay is only a design patent which means that it only protects the particular appearance of the item, not the design of what it does and how it does it.) Nice find! You own a cooker made by the original designer of kamado-style cookers! I think a lot of people would like to get one of those, if for no other reason that to own a working bit of history. |

Blazen that original Sazco is a ray of sunshine! It is really great to see someone reject a Kamado and buy elsewhere. Make Richard Crenna proud and Try some of the Sand Pebbles recipes they are pretty good. Keep posting I can't wait to hear about the results. |
