Vision Classic Kamado Ceramic Grill Review

It's time for another grill review! Or is it a smoker? Or an oven? Kamado grills are a bit difficult to pin down. Ultimately, they're extraordinarily versatile cookers that fit a wide range of methods. While a good kamado grill tends to be expensive, the Vision Classic Kamado (by Vision Grills) is a value play in this market and that's the unit we're reviewing today.
Is it worth the money? Actually, I'm just going to spoil it for you. Yes. Yes, it is. In particular, I got a pretty good deal on this one, but even at retail it's a great value option.
We're going to go through features and functions and then do a test cook. Our inaugural cook is a beef tri-tip roast, which perfectly complements the versatility of a kamado cooker!

You got yours on sale, I got mine for free from the curb. The guy said the fire bowl was cracked, and it was, and I told him I wasn't worried about it. $15 at Lowes for some furnace cement and it has been fine. I already had and Oklahoma Joes offset smoker and a Pit Boss Austin XL, this has been a great addition to my "coolection".

Remember hot air raises, Cold air falls! The thermometer in the lid will read hotter than at grill lever..The temps can be adjusted up and down to what you need.

Hey, thanks!

You're skeptical because you don't know what you don't know. Heat rises, the top of the grill will always be hotter than the bottom as the cold intake air goes over the coals and gets trapped in the dome. The grill is just fine, the thermometer is just reading differently because the hot air is racing past your probe.

Kamado Kamado....

I'm reading that as "tomato, tomato". It just occurred to me that there's really no way to type out the different sounds of the words.
