Grill, smoke and bake with Saffire's Kamado Grill and Smoker

I have an XL and purchased these for my friends. I wish I had a smaller one for some quicker cooks, but love my XL Platinum.

I ordered a Black Saffire Large 19" Platinum for an outdoor kitchen. This was after due diligence on the competitors such as Green Egg, Kamado Joe, and some other brands at various home improvement stores. Before purchasing, the value of the Saffire stood out beyond the others. Stainless steel hardware, solid construction, and a general excellent appearance to the grill that goes above the others. The lifetime warranty also made it an easy decision. Since getting it up and running, I've cooked chicken and steak, which were absolutely fabulous given I had never used an egg-type grill. My family had never tasted such a great flavor (I haven't used any smoke yet) using just wood charcoal. Next up is a slow-cooked pork or beef roast, and of course some ribs. Sidenote - I also installed a new natural gas grill for another part of the kitchen and I can already tell it will only be used for convenience, as it's not even close to what the Saffire can do with cooking!

This is a great grill and I highly recommend you taking a look at Saffire if you're shopping for a top-notch product.

I purchased the Saffire grill as a birthday gift for my wife to replace a small smoker that just was too small and took a lot of attention. I have only used it 3 times so far. The weather is too hot to smoke during the summer and I just use the gas grill for quick meals. I finally figured out how to regulate the heat and knew that it would take me a couple of days to cook everything I wanted. I cook a lot when I light up a fire because of the heat and will not do it unless it is really necessary. I used the lump charcoal they recommended and was glad I did. They cost more but burn a hotter and longer fire. I decided to purchase the second grid which made it easier. I cooked 2 briskets, 2 pulled pork, 2 slabs of pork ribs and smoked sausage after the fire was cooling down. It took all day each day, but I got it done and was very pleased with the results. I've never been able to smoke a brisket in the past and had given up. Now I will do them more often. I plan to smoke a couple of turkeys for Thanksgiving and expect them to be great. The grill is very easy to clean and I recommend you clean it after each use. I figured out how to catch the grease and that made the job even easier. If you are thinking about a smoker, you may want to consider the Saffire grill. It was worth the money to purchase it and I just wish I'd done it sooner.
