• BBQ options or mod options?

    Thermoworks make a billows kit to monitor kettle BBQ temp and blow/reduce air accordingly.

    For set and forget BBQ pellet grill is probably your best option, Traeger, GMG, Masterbuild, Pitboss all make options. BBQworld stock a lot for online browsing.. I've had a GMG for 4/5 years and adore it - it's really as simple as an oven once you're used to it.

  • In the past I’ve considered both a kamodo and a pellet grill but then never made a decision and then BBQ type weather disappears and i forget about it till next year.

    Pork is getting on okay. I’ve resisted the urge fiddle with everything and accept a bit of temperature variation. A beer has helped in this regard.

    Kamados are great in this regard as you never have to worry about the weather again, the only mod I made was a chimney hood to the top vent to stop rain getting in and I did cooks all year round, in the snow and pissing rain.

  • Pellet grills are great in this regard as you never have to worry about the weather again, the only thing I did was prop an umbrella up over it and I did cooks all year round, in the snow and pissing rain.

    (Tongue in cheek. Kamado will definitely have better heat retention in snow, but my pellet grill also has a natty fireproof thermal blanket to keep it toasty when it's chilly out)

    Re: the pork, don't stress it. You don't really need to bat an eyelid anywhere between 225f and 285f in terms of end product - it will only affect cook tine.
