Saw it in store as well. Originally $600 down to $299. I don't know when it started, but unless your local store has stock it may take upto 2 weeks for stock to come in. Delivery option is extra ~$89. Stock could be limited.
There are other much more expensive Kamado BBQ, but I think that this is an excellent price to introduce the Kamado style of cooking BBQs.
Take an ancient Japanese cooking method, add all the mod-cons, and you get the ingenious Dragon Kamado.
Japanese for ‘stove’, the Dragon Kamado barbeque can barbeque, smoke, grill, bake, and roast, and uses charcoal or Heat beads™ to cook.
With its insulated, double-skin construction, the Dragon Kamado’s high-temp painted steel outer body finish is touch-safe so it’s safe to be used around kids. The Dragon Kamado also comes with a trolley which features side shelves and a bottom shelf for extra storage.
The adjustable vent in the top hat of the Dragon Kamado allows for airflow control, and therefore cooking temperature control. Keeping a close eye on the cooking temperature is easy thanks to the built-in temperature gauge. High heats can be achieved and held inside the kettle for high temperature grilling, or drop the temperature for sustained slow cooking. You can even use a wok with the Dragon Kamado.
The firebox is constructed of vitreous enamelled steel, and the included warming rack is chrome plated steel. A removable ash collector makes cleaning out your Dragon Kamado quick and easy.
The Dragon Kamado comes with a 12 month structural warranty, and may require some assembly.
