Anyone from Sydney planning to get Komodo Kamado?
Anyone from Sydney planning to get Komodo Kamado?
Hi guys,
New here... I am thinking to get the smallest Komodo and spoke to Dennis about it... looks like cost of shipping etc will be expensive as it will need to go under 1 container? He said if someone from Sydney are also buying, this would be more economical as we can split the cost...
Anyone planning to get one?
If it's too difficult, I might have to "settle" with BGE or something... Cheers

Serious cash for a Q at around US$4000 plus shipping.
Is this your first Kamado?

Hey DJMM,
Welcome and I love this thread - why? I had no idea what a 'Komodo' Kamado was and now (after a bit of time on the google machine) - wow! I love the fact that the guy that makes them is so confident about the quality and blunt about the value - you either in the market for this type of BBQ as art piece or not.
I found this thread on their forum eye opening http://komodokamadoforum.com/topic/7290 ... need-help/ - I guess if people can afford a Komodo Kamado they can probably afford the engineer to build the deck!
I hope you get it - I can't afford such a unit but I can live vicariously through those that can.
Cheers!

Well I am actually just after the smallest one, which is still not extremely expensive (still US$ 2k+ though).
That's why it doesn't make sense for me to pay the whole shipping cost. If we could get say 4-5 people it would be more economical but I think there is very small market here.
It's more like a functional grill / backyard work of art/decoration though - more like a you only live once purchase lol... But I think I'll never own this sadly as I can't justify the shipping...
Even the smallest 16" size is 98kg lol.

Try this to cheer youself up.
Go down to Bunnies and get yourself an Akorn Kamado for $500. With the $2,000 plus difference cook some fine meat like Cape Grim steaks on the Akorn, a nice red and after awhile the praise from your guests that it was the best steak they ever had will help.

Another option is look at BBQ Galore, they have a 20% off all BBQ's this weekend.

The classic Kamado Joe price is now probably cheaper than the freight and overall cost to bring the komodo kamado lol
Re: Anyone from Sydney planning to get Komodo Kamado?
Well ended up placing an order for a Classic Kamado Joe. I figured with the new gasket, easy lift, and smaller fire bix and slide ash tray, it is not that far from komodo kamado, apart from the aesthetic as that komodo is really ornamental, no need for sculpture around the patio.

I have a Classic KJ series 1. Great fun.
Enjoy your new toy. Post some pics when you get it.
