So, in view of the fabulous looking ribs on Jim M's facebook page - smoked on a Big Green Egg, I started doing some research into Kamado Oven type grills. I ended up with a Kamado Joe - basically a red egg. Yumm! I've got a couple of game hens on it right now - can't wait. I've smoked one Boston Butt, and it was great. The routine and not so routine grilling and roasting has been superb. Can't wait to try a pizza at 700 degrees!
The table is my own - Ipe wood. It weights a ton, since a wind storm destroyed my last grill, and I am not going to let that happen again! It matches our deck, which is behind me.
Bon appétit!

That is a great setup and a great view Jim...... and I dont blame you a bit on avoiding the power issue. We just delivered and installed this one today.....Customer planned ahead and and had water, drain, gas and power all stubbed out for us on this one. He also just got his RecTec 590 but didnt have room for it and a 36" griddle as well so he kept the RecTeq on its own cart. He is considering having us build a matching cart for the RecTec alone now that we delivered this one though. He plans to give the treated wood about 30 days to dry and then stain it a darker brown color to match the fence on his property......
