kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXuzdKN4aK-Wesk Why you should keep notes on your bbq cooks

[@adamowen5982]

Just found your channel tonight. As want a BBQ & smoker. And the Kamado seems to tick all the boxes and I'm definitely looking at getting one very soon.. Thank you for the info and tips. Great videos dude

[@BBQLIFE]

Always here for a chat and or advice. Messages are easier on Facebook or Instagram if you have them. Kamados and very versatile buy can take some getting use to.

[@dominicciful]

Just started using mine, I’d never even heard of these things. My other half got me one as an engagement present. Love these videos, absolutely loving your vids!!!!

[@BBQLIFE]

Congratulations on your engagement. Glad you're enjoying it.

Hi there great vid do you know where I can pick up a replacement temperature gauge for the aldi gardenline kamado many thanks

[@BBQLIFE]

The kamado bono one will fit perfectly. This is an affiliate link.

Superb content... Did a spatchcock Chicken and Leg of Lamb - for Easter. Normal roasties veggies in the kitchen did the meat on the Kamado - The Lamb was outstanding in the yellow zone 2hrs - 40mins resting, was juicy tasty, even had a lovely pink ring inside the edge.

[@BBQLIFE]

Sounds spot on mate 👌

[@rnbyido]

Brilliant tips mate.. much appreciated, i'm still waiting for my aldi kamado to be sent... I hope it is in one piece when it does.. if it turns up that is.. ive been hearing about some real horror stories about Aldi and delivery, refunds etc...

[@BBQLIFE]

Thanks for watching. More are delivered ok than broken so I hope yours is one of the good ones

[@dajw]

Mine arrived perfectly. No complaints.

[@matthewleonard8110]

Just ordered one, will be watching all of these vids , very helpful. Can we get some advice on simple BBQ, you know, the sausages & burgers, chicken drumsticks 🙂

[@BBQLIFE]

This is not the right bbq for that style of grilling really. You would be better with a weber kettle if I'm honest

[@duncanbarrier]

Great videos! Quick question on low and slow with smoke - if you have a second chunk of wood in, that’s starts unlit, to catch later through the cook, how do you avoid the white smoke when the fire spreads and catches the wood? Keep up the good work 👍

[@BBQLIFE]

You can't however because of the heat in the kamado before it lights drying it out you get less white smoke

[@davidcross1136]

How do you clean the ceramic stone?

[@BBQLIFE]

I scrape it when hot (if I remember) Flip it each cook and it burns clean. Alternatively warp it in foil and and change it each time

[@Caution1990]

Hey man, love your videos! Thinking very much about getting one of these.

[@BBQLIFE]

You will probably have to wait until next year now buddy as they are sold out you may need lucky enough to pick one up second hand. Thanks for watching dude

[@richjjones86]

I'm selling mine second hand. Nothing wrong with it but I've gone to team red.

[@BBQLIFE]

How much, any extra accessories?

[@richjjones86]

@@BBQLIFE It's has the standard accessories. KJ arrived this week so not thought too much about price, open to offers. Love the channel mate, keep up the good work 👍

[@BBQLIFE]

Thanks mate If you're on Facebook feel free to post an ad in my group.

[@terryworley38]

Had my AK two weeks now.....great what you do keep it up. Didn’t know you had to cure it before full use, tips of dialling in your heat brill. Now going through your various recipes.... spatchcock tonight....Ribs at the weekend. Every time we visit Hastings we come back with Hot smoked Salmon portions. Have you done this on the AK?

[@BBQLIFE]

I've done planked salmon, I need to up my fish game really. Glad your enjoying the channel and your AK

[@TB-qt2xc]

Great advise thanks.

[@BBQLIFE]

Cheers 🍺

[@travellerseko]

Why do we need to measure dome temperature? Is Probe inside the meat and on the grill level not enough?

[@BBQLIFE]

Not everyone has a probe to measure ambient temperature.

[@BlindZombee]

I find the coals burn out quite quickly to do a low and slow. Any tips to change that or is it a case of simply adding more fuel?

[@BBQLIFE]

Add more fuel to begin with and just restrict the air flow to keep the temps down 👍🏻

[@BlindZombee]

@@BBQLIFE thank you!

[@BBQLIFE]

You welcome

[@jimmcmillan8985]

Hi there, I'm moving away from my gas barb and was looking at a Weber kettle, would a Kamado be the better way to go?

[@BBQLIFE]

They are both great but I'd start with a kettle and if you love it upgrade next year

[@mattb9145]

Hi mate. Loving the videos, AK just arrived today and I've watched many of your vids already, I'm sure I'll rewatch as I start using it. Can't wait! Couple of minor channel things for your consideration, your hyperlinked urls in the description don't always work, I think they need to include the http bit. Sometimes your volumes are a bit up and down between clips, I need to readjust my phones volume to compensate. Keep up the good work, looking forward to seeing the channel grow. Thanks.

[@BBQLIFE]

In the last video my audio was awful, I used new software and didn't like it. Thanks for the feedback about the links I just built my website so will be directing people there where all the links are now. Thank for taking the time to feedback it means a lot o hope you enjoy your AK when its delivered

[@timkent4313]

Hi. Would you recommend buying an electric rotisserie for the AK? 🤔

[@BBQLIFE]

I don't have one for the AK Buy I do for my weber kettle and I love it. Lots of guys have them and love them for the AK. The question is would you use it? If so get on if not don't. Also do you have enouth storage to keep it?

[@timkent4313]

@@BBQLIFE thank you for the message. Yes for roast chicken, lamb and maybe crispy duck. Yes have storage options. I have seen one for £120. So will take the plunge.

[@hughesbrews8062]

Some food for thought! Cheers 👍🏻

[@BBQLIFE]

Thanks for watching!

[@alansiggers6257]

Hi could you tell me please how to cool down my kamado please.

[@BBQLIFE]

The best way is shut down all tbe vents remove what your cook wrap in foil. Put a large pan of water/ ice in carefully. It will suck the heat out but it still takes a good 20 mins. Just be careful not to spill and liquid.

[@alansiggers6257]

@@BBQLIFE Brilliant thank you very much.

[@0026028977]

I've just had my AK delivered today and have set it up. The manual says to burn 250g to 300g charcoal to cure the unit. Iim doing this now. It advises not to let the temp go over 200 degreed but I can't get the temp past the 60 degrees. Also the bottom vent is incredibly stiff and hard to move is there any way to make this movement easier? Thanks for making so many videos. I've been watching them and decided to go for this BBQ. To add to my collection of Weber's.

[@BBQLIFE]

Sounds like the inner vent (holes) is outside the outer vent (solid) see if you can swap then over if not speak to la hacienda and they will sort it. Here is a link about curing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/onynqWWZbKqniLM Also make sure tbe hole in tbe fire box ceramic is in line with the bottom vent

[@0026028977]

@@BBQLIFE thanks for the reply. I'll have a look tomorrow when it's light. It's cooling down now to put the cover on overnight. Should I unscrew the nuts on the bottom vent to see if the vents are in the wedding positions? I can close the outer vent over the vent with the holes. It's just a have to jiggle then adding before they move and even open I have to force them to move. It feels like i shouldn't have to fight with it to move it back and forth

[@0026028977]

Wrong* auto correct got in there

[@BBQLIFE]

It's shouldn't be hard to move best to talk to la hacienda so you don't void your warranty

[@michaelhowes4431]

My Aldi Kamado thermometer doesn’t seem to have a means of adjustment. Any ideas?

[@BBQLIFE]

Mine has a brass nut you loosen then move and retighten

[@GiddyVideo]

Good info as always

[@stever1475]

Hi all, using my kamado today for the first time just like to know do I need to put a dip tray in my kamado . Many thanks 🙏

[@BBQLIFE]

Depends what you cooking. It's doesn't hurts. Just ball up some Foil to lift it of the deflector plate

[@stever1475]

@@BBQLIFE okay many thanks 👍oh it’s chicken 🐔

[@stever1475]

@@BBQLIFE Oh just looking though your video’s for one about cooling down after I finish not sure if you have any but could you please send me the link 🙏

[@BBQLIFE]

There is no way to cool it down just shut the vents as soon as you are finished to extinguish the coals. After an hour you could open the lid but it won't drop instantly because tbe ceramic is ment to hold tbe Heat.

Having not seen this year's thermometers it's hard to say

[@TylerNally]

I like this channel. Good information. My only suggestion is to SHOW what your talking about instead of talking about it. There are a lot of visual-only learner's that need video input to teach them. What you're doing is kind of like reading instructions in a manual somewhere.. you're not taking full advantage of the video format of this channel. It's basically an audio podcast.
