Bought these as gifts for our volunteers for Vacation Bible School this year. Added the theme sticker and everyone LOVED them! Tested all to see if they expanded before gifting and they worked perfect!
Not a bad little kit. Seems to be of good construction, the utensils that is. Pretty much everything the occasional smoker or griller would need, and then some. The glove is surprisingly handy. Yes, the case is a little rough, and I expect the closure tabs to break as others have mentioned. But, I keep nearly all the most useful tools hanging up below my grill shelf, so seldom use the box it came in. Do not wash the wooden handle the brushes attach to. It will get splintery. Oh, and the grill brush shown in my photo was NOT included.
The package came totally damaged.
It’s been 2 months of decent usage and it’s been great. My favorite part is that I can move the magnet bar anywhere on my grill and it fits all the accessories I use at a time.
High quality & sturdy, great selection of grilling & flat top cooking tools for a low price !! Being dishwasher safe is an added bonus! This would make an excellent gift for Christmas, Father’s Day, Wedding or housewarming.
This product is Made in China. The Q&A Response From Seller saying it was made in the United States is False. I have attached a picture to this review evidencing the product is made in China. China is known for adding unhealthy chemicals to wood products, such as formaldehyde. There’s no way I am going to take a chance with my family’s health when there are similar products on the market that are actually made in the USA.
So far, so good. Reasonably easy install. Does not pop on, but mounts to the pop and lock system. For a fraction of the cost of the name brand version, this is a steal. Docking one star for not being able to easily take it off and on, but can collapse and fit under a grill cover without any issues.
This cast iron griddle is 2 sided. The grill side puts perfect grill marks on meat, cooks it tender & juicy. Little or no oil is needed! The weight is substantial! Not cheaply made. Comes with cleaning utensils & it cleans easily. Great for low calorie meals. Glad I invested in it!
This stone is perfect for that next step up in making better pizza. I was never able to get the perfect crust that quality pizza shops have.
Dented. Send me a new one
This stand is good for your Adventure Ready blackstone seventeen inch griddle. I have been wanting a stand for a while. But if you get him from blackstone they are kind of pricey. So we are going camping this weekend.And I wanted to do a dry run before taking it out. I am 6'1 and when the griddle is fully extended , it is a little short for me. But at this price point it's good. It is pretty well designed except for one thing. When the legs are fully extended there is a screw that squeezes the two pieces of the leg together to become one. If this screw went through both pieces it would have been better and more safe. So I am modify mine . I am drilling a hole threw both pieces of the leg and bolted them together when extended. I would have to do this to all four legs. This is the only thing I do not like about it. Other than that it does work well and is very light weight. And I do like the two side tables , they come in very handy.
This thing is great for grilling a lot of food.
I've got the large Big Green Egg. This fits pretty well although it doesn't sit completely down. There is a small gap because its just a tad large where the BGE has some ribs in the ceramic within the ash section. The little ash tray doesn't hold a lot, and somewhat restricts the airflow. Its great for my typical medium heat shorter cook, but doesn't hold enough for a long smoke, and is too restrictive for a super hot one. On the other hand I can use the ash can without it, because the can makes it super easy to pull out the ash with the regular tool. On a long cook I use it without the little tray, its pretty easy to clean the ash bucket once or twice. Likewise for a short hot cook, I just leave out the try and dump the ash once it's cooled. Its easy to pull it out by the bail and just dump it. The standard BGE cast iron plate fits the ash can perfectly. I don't usually use that plate though because I find it's too restrictive and can clog. I use a basket instead which works OK with the cast iron ash can. It leaks a little around the back edge though because the ash can doesn't fit tightly enough. I have to occasionally clean below it. All in all this is a pretty good addition to the BGE, but not perfect.
Up until now, my fire pit tools consisted of a 3 foot steel rod. I could usually get things moved around with a little luck and ingenuity, but that was it. For me, this is a game changer. I can now move around hot coals and logs with ease and safety in mind. These are heavy duty tongs made from stainless steel so they should last a long time. Those sharp teeth on the end really let you get a strong grip on the log. They also include a poker to give you another option to move things around in the fire pit. Lastly, it comes in a nice storage bag. Overall, this is a great fire pit set for the price. It's definitely made my life easier and safer. Definitely recommended. My rating method: 1 star - terrible. I wouldn't consider buying it. 2 stars - marginal at best. Doesn't meet the minimum requirements or quality to be useful. Buy it at your own risk. 3 stars - average. Meets the quality and requirements for a product of this type but is nothing out of the ordinary. If the price is good, I'd probably buy it. 4 stars - better than average. Exceeds the typical quality of a product of this type and has a few extra features not usually found on other products of this type. I'd buy it. 5 stars - exceptional - far exceeds the quality of products of this type. Hard to beat the quality and features included. Best value for the money. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it.
Kamado Joe cast iron grill grates are a perfect companion for your Kamado Joe grill. While not a necessity for outstanding Kamado grill flavor which your Kamado Joe already provides what these cast iron grates do provide is that crowning expert touch of perfect grill marks on any food you prepare upon them. The secret is the cast iron heats up hotter and holds more heat along the broader grill rails leaving broader sear marks on your food. For sexier meat try turning the meat a quarter turn half way through each sides cook. This will leave a very nice diaganol grill sear on your meat. Be forewarned these cast iron grill grates require extra care and do NOT come preseasoned. If not properly seasoned and cared for the grates can rust so you will want to take necessary steps to keep them in optimal condition for many years of use. To preseason the cast iron grill grates simply apply a liberal coat of peanut oil fully coating the cast iron from both sides and heat them either on your Kamado Joe or in an oven. I decided to perform the seasoning process on the Kamado Joe but more on that and general care in a moment. I recommend and used peanut oil because it typically withstands higher heat levels before flashover and therefore I believe it would be a better over all durable seasoning for these grates considering some cooks may require hotter temperatures. Now let's talk about the steps to season the cast iron grates. This is also a good time to mention each cast iron grate does come with a long cast iron grate tool with leather strap for hanging it on your grill's utensil hook. It's purpose is for removing hot cast iron grates around on your grill, repositioning the grate height or fully removing the grates when hot. Now initially seasoning your new cast iron grates is very important and necessary. To do this on your Kamado Joe you will want to build a fire in your grill and allow your grill to come up to a temprature of 350 degrees. Once this has occurred allow it to settle at that temperature for a short period as to get the vent controls to maintain the 350 degree temperature. Upon lighting your fire set in your grilling appliance and set both grill deflectors in place as the seasoning process will be performed over indirect heat as to not allow an open flame to kiss your cast iron grates burning off any oil. Also as you don't want to cook off any of the seasoning so high temperature is not recommended nor will it create a better cure. To season the cast iron grate apply cooking oil liberally at room temperature. As mentioned I used peanut oil and once the grate is fully lathered you can lightly wipe any drips as the grate just needs to be fully coated. Once the grill temprature is sustained at 350 degrees open the grill lid, place your cast iron grill grate at the top position on the grill appliance, close the lid and allow the cast iron grate to season for about an hour while maintaining a constant 350 degree temperature. After an hour you can use your cast iron grill tool to remove the cast iron grill grate and allow it to cool naturally. I recommend repeating the seasoning process to ensure the cast iron grill grate is well seasoned. Upon completing the second season you can simply shut off the air vents on your Kamado Joe and allow the cast iron grates to cool down in place as the grill snuffs out the fire and your cast iron grate(s) will be ready for use. The cast iron grill grates will require some extra attention after each cook but if your follow the seasoning directions above and cook regularly on your Kamado Joe grill using them they may be a little forgiving. However I recommend keeping a stiff brush like a small paint brush or food brush along with some peanut oil and coat the cast iron often. I often start my grill, use a stiff plastic grill brush before the grilling surface becomes hot and coat the cast iron with peanut oil using the stiff food brush allowing the grill to come up to cooking temperature for 45 minutes to an hour before placing any food upon it. Thus far the process has kept the grates clean and seasoned.
