My $75 Japanese kamado

[Unbelievable]

Well I finally got my camera to upload pictures to my computer. So here are a couple of pictures of my new/old cooker. I will have more of the rebuild and improvements that I did a month ago very soon.

[Unbelievable]

#1 the avacado green cooker, You can see two of the four stainless screws that hold the inside brackets. I chose not to paint the rusted roll around cart and the rings that hold the cooker together because I like the "Vintage" look.



#2 The brackets that hold all of the grates and the ash catcher on the bottom.



#3 The stainless collander hanging on the lower bracket. It still has Natures Grilling natural briquettes in it. It has 1/4 inch holes all over it. It's my $5 answer to the old style rod fire box.



#4 The soon to be replaced lower grate holding drip pan with main grate above. It will be replaced with a redesigned Spider ring to hold the drip pan. The top one is a Weber main grill with doors.



#5 Perfect height pizza stone sitting on a couple of limestone tiles.



#6 My custom stainless seafood grill. It works well for everything.



#7 Upper bracket sitting on the lower grate. I haven't used it here yet. It's still dirty from the last cook on the WSM. It also works great for smoking cheese. I might not use it that much but it's nice to have just in case I ever need the extra space.



Well there you have it! I still have some miscallaneous pictures to share soon.

I had one just like that I gave away... to a relative who never used it, unfortunately.

Is there a "break-in" period?
