Vision Classic Kamado Ceramic Grill Review
It's time for another grill review! Or is it a smoker? Or an oven? Kamado grills are a bit difficult to pin down. Ultimately, they're extraordinarily versatile cookers that fit a wide range of methods. While a good kamado grill tends to be expensive, the Vision Classic Kamado (by Vision Grills) is a value play in this market and that's the unit we're reviewing today.
Is it worth the money? Actually, I'm just going to spoil it for you. Yes. Yes, it is. In particular, I got a pretty good deal on this one, but even at retail it's a great value option.
We're going to go through features and functions and then do a test cook. Our inaugural cook is a beef tri-tip roast, which perfectly complements the versatility of a kamado cooker!

Are 3-2-1 Ribs a Waste of Time?
มุมมอง 1602 หลายเดือนก่อน
I've made a lot of ribs, but I've never tried 3-2-1. It's a really popular method for backyard barbecuers and I thought it was time to put them to the test. Can they compare to restaurant quality? If they're not as good, are they still a viable solution for low-maintenance ribs? If they're not a viable solution...do dogs like them? Let's find out!

Achieving Perfect Pulled Pork on the Old Country Gravity Smoker

    buy a replacement charcoal pan on day 1 and it can be 10 years of use easy. this was my first grill and it went 5 years until the charcoal pan disintegrated... but some of that was probably negligence on my part. i absolutely love this grill. the warming rack is why i keep not getting a kettle grill... i just did 18 drumsticks on my new grillmaster this week and probably could have squeezed 6 more... only had space for that because of the rack gave more space off heat the charcoal pan was shot one the side i usually put heat on after 4 years but I switched sides on the last year until it also succumbed to time

    Good job, great video -- my only question is; I saw how much wood you used on the offset (as in all wood, for many hours), but not how much wood you used on the gravity fed. The smoke ring on the offset turned out beautiful, where there was almost none on the gravity fed. I believe you could have achieved the same smoke ring on the gravity fed if you would have used the same amount of wood you used on the offset, or at least quite a bit more than you used.

      More or less right in the middle. Now it's hot near the firebox (expected) and another spot a few inches from the stack. Though the main benefit of the stack extension was temperature regulation of the entire cook chamber: temps recovered quicker after opening the firebox and held more consistently over time.
