    For those making one, use a masonry\carbide drill bit or you will ruin your bits. Also can soak the terracotta pot overnight to make it easier. Will also reduce risk of cracking.

      It also helps to just spray with water while drilling. That's what I do when adding bottom holes on pots that don't come with any.

    Here are a couple of tips that make assembly slightly easier th-cam.com/users/postUgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt . 1) One person can assemble, but if you have a buddy to help, it will make it go faster - especially steps 1-3 and 8 (the legs aren't heavy but can be difficult to hold while screwing things in). Step 8, 1st part will take some time unless you have two more hands OR are really lucky. 2) Use a socket wrench! 3) Step 7, 3rd part - the flame carry over tube has an open side, MAKE SURE THE OPEN SIDE IS FACING THE FRONT. If it's facing the back, the tube won't work. 4) Step 10, 3rd part - if you don't have small hands (I don't, they're gigantic) getting the nut on is really difficult (but not impossible). It took me about 4 hours to assemble, but I took a "union break" every 60-90 minutes and ate a quick lunch. Also, I'm really OCD so I took my time, looked at the instructions carefully, and cleaned up as I went.

    @Grovelander 3 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    Fantastic video.
    All I could suggest is that the finished Kamado grill is highly likely to crack if you put charcoal or briquettes the very first time you use it, as the terracotta would not have been seasoned.
    To season it (the same way you would do with a Chimenea), you would need to put a bit of sand at the bottom, then build a small fire out of a fire starter (newspaper) and allow it to die down and fully cool down.
    Then build another fire out of kindle and do the same.
    Finally, do another one with a single log and do the same.
    You'd need to allow one or two days altogether.
    (I think you got lucky it didn't crack)

      @federicomarzocchi7169 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      @@eyesofthecervino3366 It cracks because of the presence of bubbles of air and droplets of water in the matrix of the terracotta structure.
      you can prevent the cracking by increasing slowly the temperature, doing this the matrix has time to dissipate the stress generated by the variation of the volume of air and water droplets.
      you can do it burning a small fire into the kamado or you can also put the pot into the oven at low temp for some hours.
      you can also put all the pot in water before doing all this steps, this also help because it reduces the thermal shock

      Unless you already have the several hundred dollars worth of tools and materials laying around and the skill to use them, it will be cheaper to spend $400 on the same size Big Green Egg that will last more than a decade (maybe 2 or 3) with a lifetime warranty and it will not crack and dump hot coals everywhere.

    This was a strange one,
    Top two things I look at on TH-cam are food stuff (BBQ's) and classic Minis. I stop watching a mini vid and start watching this and low and behold a beautiful example of a classic mini behind him.
    I hope you and your daughter are making many memories working and driving together.

    One huge No No is using foam sealant strip that will definitely give off toxic gasses inside your BBQ. Hope spray paint was High Temperature Paint or it will give off toxic gasses to anyone hanging around BBQ when cooking. Otherwise , good job.

    • @BobBee
      @BobBee  3 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      The gasket is no foam, it’s special gasket for grills. And the paint is only on the outside, heatproof and burned for a while without food. So no gasses left behind . Food taste good

      When ceramics glaze get hot it expanse into a spider web cracking, this is called "crazing".
