Flower pot ”kamado” build. DIY Kamado
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 มิ.ย. 2020
- I have wanted a ceramic grill for a long time. But alternatives in sweden are few and crap/or expensive. So i decided to make myself a DIY Kamado aka a Flower Pot Cooker
And the whistling was a nice touch. I will probably find myself whistling all day at work today. Such a happy happy tune. Yaaayyyyy
This is really, really cool. Thank you for making this video. As a recently-kamado-obsessed diy-junkie, this speaks to me.
Thank you. I appreciate you watching
Have you enquirer to see if their are any pottery classes or schools with art program close by who might also make you some pieces for extremely cheap?
Also any reason you chose not to use the fire cement to further insulate bottom and ensure gaps in stones don’t get ash/suit toxins lodged in places you can’t reach to clean easily?
Just super curious and also wondering now 2 years later how has it lasted?
AB SO LUT LEY BRILLIANT!! Only you could manufacture something so awesome. I can’t tell you how many times I laughed and said,”Why hasn’t anyone Thought of this.”
Thanks FloBro. Have been thinking about this a long time. Finally found the last piece (the lid) and figured i had no excuse anymore :)
@@LassesFoodAndBarbecue this is great, saw someone else just take another pot and put on top as a lid with a hinge. Where do you get the stones you put in the bottom?
Great job, well done 👌👊🙂👍
You can possibly also add a lip to the perimeter of either the top lid or bottom dome to prevent the lid from sliding off like a small bracket.
I have a Kamado and if I had to give up all my cookers except one, I would keep the Kamado. This was an incredibly creative video Lasse. Absoulety loved it! Rock on!
Armadillo Pepper BBQ thanks Jeff. It will be fun to experiment with :)
I use a pizza stone wrapped in foil under the grill. There is a wire rack you set the grill on that sits on the fire box ring with a holder for the stone. Works great.
Not only did you engineer a solution Lasse, you engineered an elegant and highly efficient solution. Impressive work my friend! Shared. 👍🌟😋
Thanks Pete. Know you mentioned you gave it a go but were not happy with it. I have since then thought a lot abput how to get it to work :)
@@LassesFoodAndBarbecue Yes I tried to make a backyard tandoori oven out of plant pots but it wasn't a success, I only used it a couple of times.
Oh yes. That was it. :)
I am amazed and to me this is incredible because I am incapable of building anything at all!!! I loved the cook with that wonderful Rib Eye and the Grilled Cabbage, superb! Just discovered your channel thanks to Pete Thomas, can't wait to see more😀👍!!!
Thank you so much for your nice comment! Pete is a great guy
Very ingenious Lars. Nicely done! Can’t wait to see what you cook next!
Thanks so much. As soon as i get the vents i will do a low and slow of something :)
Very cool, liked seeing how you worked out some of the problems. I have seen these before but never looked into making one myself, you made it look pretty easy. Now you can build a table to set it into. Nice job!
Thanks Tom. Fun project :) I am thinking a little cartlike structure for it. It turned out pretty heavy, so i want to mount some wheels on it, and on the table i put it on its to high up also, so getting it lower will come automatically :) Thanks for catching it
This is so cool Lasse!! You nailed it. Forget those high prices!! Take care bud!
Thanks so much Rob. Absolutely right :)
I am so impressed!
Thank you!
Loved it! You have inspired me to try this myself
That is awesome Lasse. You designed that pretty good. I like it.
Thanks Kirby. Will be fun to experiment :)
I prefer the look of this over a kamodo....awesome...may have to do this.
Thank you!
Nicely done Lasse!
Thanks Tom. Will be fun to try it out :)
Wow you are super handy I would never Think about making my own kamato grill. You did a great job I must say your steak looked perfectly cooked
Thanks Jeff. Necessity is the mother of invention. Buying a good brand here starts at 1000-1100 dollars and thats way beyond what i am willing to pay. So this is a great alternative :)
Wow, that was very creative of you my friend... It really turned out awesome👍👍
Thank you Luis. Really turned out as i hoped. Now i just need to wait for the vents to be able to control it better to do some low n slow cooking :)
Great creation!
Excellent! You made yourself a DIY Kamado! Rock On Lasse!
Thanks Sal. Its been a long time coming. And i am really happy so far. Will have to give a low ans slow cook a run too soon, but will have to wait a few days until i get the dampers - hard to control the temp as it is now :)
I'm not into kamado grills at all but this is beyond awesome!
Thanks Dano. Dont have an opinion yet since i only did one cook so far. Will be fun to have something to experiment on :)
Wow, Lars! I always said you are like a MacGyver lol. This is one of the coolest things you’ve done to date 👍🏼
Thank you Mike. This is the project i have been planning the longest. Going on two years now. Main problem has been i wanted the bottom part to be alrge enough to actually cook stuff, but didnt want the same put as a lid - it would be too heavy. So i have been looking dor a domed pot to use as a lid and found it this weekend, no more excuses i thought so off i went :) Got a rosette vent for the lid in the mail yesterday, and just need a bottom damper to arrive from germany and i can finish it. Will figure out a different solution to the charcoal basket as well to make it a bit easier to clean out, and lastly i need to put together a little cart so i can move it around withouth breaking my back lol. THanks for watching it :)
That's a fantastic idea ..👍👍
Thanks Roger. So far so good :)
@@LassesFoodAndBarbecue Afraid to say I I use all my flower pots for my gardening Channel :)
Hehe my wife asked me if it was for tomatos... 😂
Wow! Really cool idea.
Thanks bud, am very happy with it actuallly!
Fab vid i will be trying that out 4 sure
Good luck
Cool build Lasse. Cheers my friend!
Thanks Nate!!
You are so dang creative Lasse!! nicely done sir
Thanks Diane. Just a fun little project :)
Yep, this is the more simplistic approach I'll be using. No fire bricks though, just another pot inside.
Thats a really good idea, and way easier to "repair" - will have to look for one.
nice project, i want to try it also.
Holy wow, that’s ingenious and a wild idea Lasse! It definitely holds temps and worked a charm. Excellent job! Hope you’re doing well and having a great weekend!
Pickles BBQ thanks Charley. Will be fun to play with :) Hoåe ypu are keeping well!
Hey Lasse! I Love it! Really like the addition of the brick! 👍 Very ingenious my friend! You saved a bunch of money right there! 👍👍 \m/
Thanks Ken. Yes plenty. The cheapest kamados here start at about 800 dollars and those are off brands without and good reviews. The,big greek egg amd kamado joe are way pricier so not an alternative imo. This will be fun to experiment with. Just waiting to get the dampers so i can control it better- as well as being able to use my stoker fan using an adapter.
As for,using the bricks that is something i know would be good having watched your videos :)
Dette ser jævlig bra ut!
Må prøves!
Takker for en bra DIY video.
Kjetil
tack tack - jättekul projekt, lär mig nya saker hela tiden :)
For thermal mass could you use two pots stacked, with mortar inbetween to make them one piece?
Just watched this video. Great fantastic concept. I'm going to do this. Would love to see an update. Are you still using it? How has it held up?
Awesome video, thanks! Never got to see the bottom vent not the top vents. Would you mind sharing picture and/or link to part to buy? Thanks.
Great job!
Stick it to big kamado!
Thank you!
Interesting brother. I look forward to some cooks.
Thanks Tommy. They will come shortly. Need to get the dampers so i can control it better before trying a low n slow cook. Should arrive in a few days though :)
Did you use a special drill bit? How did you cut hole without cracking pot?
👏👏👏👏👏exelente y sustentable
you got to use lump wood charcoal. great build!
Thanks for the great video. Would you please let me know where did you buy the gasket? Thanks!
Hi, i bought the gasket at a fireplace store. It is just heat resistemt :)
I once tried and a terra cotta saucer in my Kamado Joe as a heat deflector under the grill. It cracked apart after the first grilling.
That i can imagine since it would be right over the heat, thats the reason for the firebricks really
This is a really cool build! I especially like the domed top! A small tip is to do the voicover in post because you can get way better sound quality. At times I found it a bit hard to understand you. Maybe partly because the music of the time lapses is so much louder than your camera audio.
Thank you, and thank you for your input. I will do that next time :)
@@LassesFoodAndBarbecue great! Keep up the wood work man!
I was just wondering where you have been! Very cool cooker Lasse!
Thanks bud. Toook a leave of absence to get som distance to it all. Back now but on a more laid back level :)
VERY CREATIVE YOU SAVE OVER $3.000.00 DOLLARS.
What size is the flower pots?? I've made a tandoor style one but this you have made is far far superior! I'm inspired to make one like yours
Thanks the size is just about 19 inches. I use a weber 18 inch grate for it
Great video !!! Thanks for sharing , what is the size of the pots? and how many bricks did you put in? Regards from México !!!!
Thanks. They are about 20 inches across. I actually brought the weber 18 inch grate with me to the store to find one that fit
Door hinge 4 lid could work
Did u use the nylon locking nuts? Just looked like it. If u did i wonder how those would hold up without melting the nylon
YEs and dont see anyy issues, it has not gotten too hot as of yet to loosen them
Great video, can you show the addition of vents when you get them? Do you think you could smoke on it with the vents added
Thanks Simon, yes i would imagie i could. In my most recent video i have the vents mounted, but probably lit too many coals and let it get up in temp too much before i dampened it. So it ran at about 300. Next weekend i will do som e pulled pork or shredded beef to test a lower temp cook. I will only light a couple of coals to not overshoot. It is a new way of cooking for me so its a learning process :)
@@LassesFoodAndBarbecue just checked out the other video it looks great and you have a great set up, congrats. I am definitely going to give this a try. Could you post a link to where you got the vents and what the name of the vents are? Thanks in advance
👍👍👍👍
how much $ is the average cost for both the terracotta pot used?
I use this pot but the bigger size for Tandoori oven. It has developed some cracks. Can we use Fireplace Mortar to fix the cracks? Also, I would love to have a layer of mortar applied inside the pot to prevent future cracks. Is it safe/advisable to use fireplace mortar inside pot? Worried about any chemical smoke since we frequently use for grilling
You put a smaller pot inside the base one and fill the gap inbetween with sand to insulate base pot from heat
I wonder how permanently the gasket material will adhere to the clay surfaces.
Where did you buy the gasket? I need some... think I saw it for sale at K-rauta
James Hobbs not sure actually. I got it at woody but k-rauta also has it. Xl bygg has one that you need a heatresistent glue for, and its a bother working with. I sealed a stove with it and it worked only after i cleaned with pure gasolin.
Amazing video!!! Awesome!
Do you prefer this homemade kamado over your weber and your others grills? I'm really indecisive about what to do.. building the this kamado or buying some weber or a reverse flow pit smoker. What do you recommend? Thank you very very much :)
Thanks Victor. Sorry for late reply. I really like how this works, but the weber is very versarile too. I dont have a reverseflow cooker, but would not get one myself since i amnost never cook for many people. Usually only me and my wife. I do like having different grills to cook on to vary things. Today i simply made burgers on a griddle on my gasgrill :)
What would you say was the total cost of the build? Its looks fantastic.
Thanks. The bottom pot was $39 top was $34 and the vents $15 each. The screws and gaskets i had so not sure. So about 120 dollars including a grate i would say :)
Can you please let us know where did you get flower pots, i have been trying to find them with no luck with this size
Hi at a normal garden center actually, but it took me two years of looking as well to find two that matches
So , who makes the non copyrighted music for these videos ? I just love it.
Thanks, i get all the music from the free youtub music library :)
Hur stor är risken att lerkrukan spricker av temperaturskillnader?? För är inte kamado gjorda i keramik och inte lera?
Can you share specific pot sizes? I will be making one too!
Thanks. They are about 20 inches across. I actually brought the weber 18 inch grate with me to the store to find one that fit
Amazing job mate. I have a couple questions. How does it hold temperature for long cooks? And can it resist high temperatures? Like 350c (650f)? Thank ypu
Thanks, it holds very well, but as for high heat i have not really tried to get it extremely high. I would guess a stoker, or larger bottom vent would be needed. More trials coming this summer
@@LassesFoodAndBarbecue thanks man. I already did mine a couple months ago. If you want to check it: th-cam.com/video/jNg6YW729YY/w-d-xo.html
@@LassesFoodAndBarbecue and you were a huge inspiration I must say. Cheers.
Hey Lasse. Really good job. I'm trying this myself but am having real trouble finding the perfect size bowl to correspond with the bottom pot. They all seem a bit out.
Can you remember where you got yours?
Thanks
Stu
Hello? 😊
Hello. Sorry for the late reply. That was my problem too. I found the bottom pot two yesrs ago and have looked everywhere for something to use as a top. My first plan was to get a claypot plate but i didnt find one of those either. Then this summer we stopped at our local diy and the had this. I have been on my way there to try find out where they get them so i can give you some info. I live in sweden so not one of the global chains unfortunately. :/
Hi Lasse. Thanks for the reply and the effort to go find one but don't worry, I'll just percevere the same as you.
I did find a top at a garden centre that fitted perfectly but was more of a goldfish bowl shape. Made the overall design look like an ice cream which was amusing but decided against in the end. The hunt continues.
Thanks
Great channel by the way.
Stu
Couldn’t you just get a slightly larger diameter pot for the top?
@@ruthharvey3517 not really. You need to create a true seal and if you had mis matching sizes the seals wouldn't seat properly.
Great job Lasse, seen many designs I think your's is the best... Im gonna build one myself... a few qustions if you please: did you check the safety of the paint on these pots? and how important are the oven bricks? can I do without them? one other thing, some users said the pots cracked after a few cycles... did you encounter this issue? thanks a lot
Ofer Israel thank you! I read a lot and made sure thh pots was noncoated clay(terracota). Just to be sure there is norhing in a glaze that is unhealthy when heated. The firebricks in part help keep the heat steady, but i mainly got them to move the heat from direct contact with the pot, which also the stainless pot helps with. Hopefully this will minimize the risk of cracks developomg from extreme heat fluctuations. I have now used it a bit over ten times - maybe 15 - and can not find any wear at all. But its been summer all the time since i built it so a more fair answer would be next year actully. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
Any feedback report now after having for 2 years?
@@rbslammed6163 well it worked just fine, however it needs constant attention, and adding charcoal or wood chips means taking everything out. So I just use it for the smoking process for about three hours, than I wrap it and use the oven, the smoke flavor and ring are great.
Hej, grymt jobbat.
vart hittade du krukorna? Hittar inga rätt storlek
Hej Niklas, och tack för din fråga. Jag hittade båda på vanliga handelsträdgårdar här nere i skåne. Jag har letat på många ställen de senaste åren efter framförallt den övre, men så såg jag den bara. Målet var att kunna ha ett vanligt galler till en weber 47cm i den.
@@LassesFoodAndBarbecue ok! Ja ska leta vidare. Ja tänkte de oxå, ta gallret från en weberkopia på 50cm som börjar bli gammal.
Snyggt jobbat
@@nielsenniklas hittar du något så får du gärna tipsa mig. Trillade in på denna video i research-fasen av terracotta-bygge. Inte hittat några med bra storlek än.
one problem nylock nuts on the lid handles plastic dripping on the food not a great idea
I assume if i was to go up to 400F it would be a problem, but since nylocks are temp graded to withstand temps up to 250F - and first after that loosing their locking ability (not necesssarily meling at 251F...) i have had no issues - :)
Does Fire brick contain asbestos?
No, i did a lot of research about the way they were made, and these are secure for household use
Not sure that nuts with nylon is a good idea to hold the handles ...
That might be true, will i do check them every use to see what has happened with them. So far they seem to hold up though
Two handles is way easier than a hinge!
You should not have used those Nylock nuts. Should have just use regular nut with lock washer
Maybe i will have to change them, but so far i see no extra wear on them. So apparentyl they worked well :)
@@LassesFoodAndBarbecue I was just more concerned with the burnt plastic smell in the food
Do you have a parts list?
Hi sorry no. I picked the parts up over two years from different diys and garden stores in sweden. The vents i bought online from a marine parts shop. Sorry about that :/
don't turn up the Musick " to load "
I will stick with my kJ
I would too if it was not as expensive as it is here :) Thanks for watching!
What’s so special about that heavy thing
Nothing really save the fact the cost is close to 1/10 or so of getting a factory made one here in Sweden :)
Halloj! Vars fick du tag i krukorna? Mvh
Hej. Ledsen för sent svar. Hittade den undre på plantagen. Men de finns här och där. Den övre på en liten plantskola i tomelilla :/
