The wife got me a Kamodo Joe for Christmas so I guess I'll be lurking in this thread more often. While I read back through it, anyone have any tips or recommendations for must have accessories?
You’re going to love it. Which version did you get?
First off get good charcoal. Fogo superlump premium charcoal is the best I have found. It makes a huge difference when you use good charcoal.
Second, you’re going to want some fire starters.
Kamado Joe also has a lighting accessory, but I’m not a huge fan of it. A plastic candle lighter works just fine.
Third, I have the grill grate expander but I’m not in love with it either- I don’t think it really gives as much extra space as it says. If you plan on making ribs a rib rack works fine- just get a stainless steel one and spray it with pam so the ribs don’t stick.
Fourth, I bought the Joetisserie. I’ve only used it once so far but loved it.
Fifth- get some wood. Woods such as cherry, apple, etc really give an extra dynamic and good taste to your meats.
Sixth- If you got a 3 series, the sloroller is pretty awesome. If you got an earlier version you can still get the slo roller as an accessory and I think it makes a big difference and is worth it.
Seventh- I learned the hard way that a little smoke goes a long way. I’m still learning to cook beef on it because the one time I tried it there was just too much smoke for my liking, but always pork turns out amazing.
These are just my opinions. I hope others chime in with theirs.
