Seems like a decent price. Postage seems to be around $99.00.

The Komodo Egg BBQ is a grill, a smoker, and an oven, all rolled in to one. The thick ceramic construction provides superior thermal insulation, allowing you to grill, cook, bake or smoke, regardless of the season. Komodo cooking locks in moisture and provides a variety of ways to infuse different tastes and flavours into your food which turns weekend grillers into neighbourhood chefs.
Constructed of high-fire, heat-resistant ceramic, the Komodo Egg BBQ's ability to insulate means less total heat is required to cook your meal. By locking the heat into the grill, and providing uniform cooking heat thanks to its brilliant circulation, the Komodo Egg BBQ keeps the moisture in the meat, so you're left with juicy cuts, cooked to perfection.
The Komodo Egg BBQ comes with a heavy-duty grill stand with folding bamboo side shelves and locking caster wheels for easy manoeuvrability and stability. This model also features the brand's new and highly innovative Double-Rack Flexible Cooking System. The system allows you to cook in two different heat zones and on different cooking surfaces at once, effectively giving you twice the cooking space. A dual-disc top vent in the lid allows you to control the cooking temperature in two ways. Temperatures from 80 to 400 degrees Celsius can be achieved and maintained by adjusting the top vent, and the sliding draft door, while the extra-large, and easy-to-read built-in thermometer makes keeping an eye on your temperature a breeze.
Due to the size and weight of this product we suggest checking the dimensions and access for delivery prior to purchase.

        Sounds like he is talking about a weber charcoal kettle and not a gas kettle/q

        • -1

          Ahhh ok that's an easy one, Kamado is Ceramic and the Weber is steel made, Kamado's made food tastes way better.

            @jzx100: why?

            • @[Deactivated]: Apparently from the kamado advert the design circles hot air above the food making it more even. I'm not sure if the aldi one uses this same system.

            @jzx100: How does the material change the flavour? All it changes is the heat retention.

            • @Herb Utsmellz: I've cooked on both….found that the food tastes better form the Kamado, maybe it's the heat retention.

              I should mention that we used Heat Beads when using the Weber and moved onto red gum/ironbark charcoal with the Kamado…..I believe that's why there was a difference.

            • +2

              @Herb Utsmellz: Yeah It'll be the charcoal you use.that makes it taste different.

              Although maybe because the Kamado keeps the temp more consistent for longer you get more even flavour & cook.

              If you're I Melbourne/Vic try and get some Malley Root charcoal, it makes such a better flavour then the indo/malay swamp wood you get at Bunnings/bbq shop.

            @jzx100: Nonsense. There are kamados made of stainless steel and they perform the same as ceramic.

    This isn't a big grill, I don't have a komodo but I have a charcoal grill the same size and find it to be too small especially when cooking for a group.

    I have one like this by Akorn I bought years ago, if its anything as heavy as that, and the legs for the wheels of this one are hollow aluminium I would not put money on its longevity if you move it around often.

  • +1

    Would be good with a deflector plate for low n slow but doesn't seem like it's included.

  • +1

    Done ordered one will have to try to crank up heat and see what it does chicken tikka like ……

    Especially if you're DRAGON it around the yard…..baaaaaah

    I have a kamado from Costco.
    I love it.

    It is heavy, and that is important. It means as the heavy ceramic heats up it will store more thermal energy making the temp more even and requiring less fuel.
    You are buying a bbq that can do the job of a wood fired oven as well as a charcoal BBQ.

    • i could understand if it's a good insulator requiring less fuel, but if it has a large thermal mass then you're using more fuel to heat it in the first place

      • Not really. I have a mini egg that I regularly do ribs and smaller baskets on all the time. It consumes a tiny amount of charcoal compared to my larger webbers, offset smokers. I light it in the morning 7am ish, smoking chips and meat on, and it will hold the temp right thru to about 5pm (actually longer as I usually smoke some chicken breast after the meat is done). There are bottom and top vents that let you get the exact amount of air in to maintain the perfect temps. To do the same in the Webber I'd go thru 4-5 times the coal easy.

  • Won't let me ship to Perth

  • I should say that my komado requires the same amount of fuel to get to temp as a Webber.
    But once it is at temp the heat is stored into the thick ceramic. Where as the metal shell of the Webber dispersers the heat though the metal easily, requiring more fuel to keep it at temp.

    on YouTube, some people have had their kamado burning for a couple of days with one load of fuel.

  • Anyone know what the grate size of this might be? Can't find it in the specs

    • I read a review from a previous run (not sure if exactly the same), and the review suggested it was a 16" cooking grate (compared to 18" for equivalent Kamado Joe).

      • i thought it might be 16” but then i didn’t want to pay the extra $500 for the bunnings large one …..2” in a circular bbq creates a lot more area ….. but 16” should be ok for 2x pork scotch or 2 chickens or 1 pizza …..
