I'll try to make this short. Neighbors wife comes over and asks if I want another smoker. Eh? My brother is selling his house and down sizing and my uncle brought this thing back from Korea in the early 50's. If you don't want it I'll fill it with dirt and use it as a planter. Does it look like an egg? Yes, how did you know? I'll take it!

Friggin this is authentic and never used. Seems a shame, but charcoal is in and lamb chop will go on soon.

Looks like I got a 60 year old virgin!

You got a free egg? That's awesome. Not ceramic, like the new ones, or yes?

72, nope this one is an old one, terra cotta. Coals are fired and sweet potaotes are cooking. Waiting for wife to get home to put the chops on.

This one is not an egg. No adjustable top vent or thermometer. Real antique. Looks like I'll need a little practice, but it;s just the kind of thing old farts love to play with.

Yes I did lube it up, oiled the bottom slide draft.

Not good at pictures, but I'll get the wife to help and try to post one.

Sounds interesting being as old as it is. I didn't realize they were that old. I thought the "Kamado" name was just another grill/smoker company like Weber, etc. becuase you can purchase brand new ones. My parents neighbor has had 2 Kamado grills. They were big and ornate covered in ceramic tile. Expensive, but not antiques.

Char Grill has a Kamodo style grill for $249 - $299 depending on the sales and where you get it. It's built in the style of the green egg but different. Been seeing some real nice reviews on it too. Older models need some alterations but for the price vs the BGE, it looks like a no brainer. I purchased a cheapy smoker a few years ago and it's rusting out. When I smoke, I like to be able to do more than that style is capable of, but hell, sometimes I don't feel like smoking a half dozen salmon fillets at once. Of course, could buy two and solve that issue.. 🤔

It's this one but you can get it cheaper than what they're selling it.
