Turkish bath house mosaics aside, they do look like pretty sweet kamados. I like the idea of all the integrated temp controls, can you swap it out easy enough if it fails? That's the thing I like about the thermoworks billows, not as clean as an integrated system but if it fails it doesn't affect the bbq.
What size dif you get and how are you getting it in to your garden? They weigh a fuck ton! Mine broke down in half and had a stand on wheels you could roll, those legs look tricky, gotta be a fork lift job?
Even though I think you're absolutely batshit I'm glad we live in a world where people by stuff like this. Looking forward to seeing some great cooks from you this summer.

They weigh a fuck ton
The 32" grill comes in at half a tonne (512kg according to the website).
A friend has the 42" monster that he was given as part of some wild business venture with crazy people. It has the gold tiles, and weighs the same as a small car. They had to hire a crane to shift it when they moved house.

It’s the 32” big bad. The controls are really simple graduated holes to let air in at the bottom and air release at the top. Because it is such a large but insulated mass the temperature is meant to remain really stable so once up to desired temperature it just ticks over for literally days at a time. So you can have lots of rack space for indirect cooking but still put other food items in the rack directly over the coals for searing/grilling.
I will be getting the rotisserie spit and also the rotisserie cage for porchetta, large beef joints etc. Also the smoker device which produces cool smoke which means this can also be used to smoke bacon or fish or cheese.
It’s a ludicrous indulgence and is a 50th birthday gift from my wife. But unlike another fucking bike this will still be useable in 30 years time. Thankfully the patio where it is going is accessible via a gate from the front of our house so no cranes required to install it, plus it is on casters.
What it does is piss off the golf club fan club.
Main other benefits are temperature stability, once up to heat low fuel use and longevity of parts.
