I researched and drooled over kamado style grills for years. I was concerned because accidents happen, thermal shock happens, life happens. Ceramic grills are great but they do crack. Knowing my family lifestyle and how things can get broken I wanted something that would last. When I found the Blaze Kamado I initially passed it over due to it being less well known. But it kept drawing me back. Now that I own one I am in love.
Having used other kamados in the past I knew how they work etc. Heat management can be a challenge if you are not willing to step back and let it stabilize. That is true with all grills, smokers, or kamados. Constantly changing the vent openings or opening the lid will leave you frustrated and chasing the temp. Be willing to set it, and leave it for a few minutes before touching it again. Make small changes. Once it heats up, opening the lid will cause the temp to go down and then up a bit after the lid is closed again as fresh O2 causes the fire to heat up. Don't change the settings right away. Let the thermal mass of the kamado work for you.
The only negative of the Blaze design I have found so far is the vent opens straight up which means rain can get in. A piece of steel heating duct elbow fit perfectly blocking the rain and diverting the smoke away from me when standing near the front.
Positives? Great design, solid construction, well thought out features like the hinged grate. The studs for supporting grates are perfectly placed. I use the top ones for grilling and the bottom set for smoking. I love the ash pan design. It is so much better than others I looked at. I wipe down the fire box into the pan, pull it, dump, then clean what little gets around the edges, reinsert and you are ready to go.
Would I buy it again in the future? in a heartbeat. Will I recommend this to everyone? No. because not everyone is willing to spend a little more for key features like durability. They will buy green or red because thats what their friends have. Its a status symbol and kind of like the old truck debate. Ford and Chevy drivers argue about which ones are best based on looks, comfort, leather seats etc. People that use their trucks as trucks buy Ram. ;-).

Built incredibly solid and cooks well
You really have to see this Grill in person to appreciate the high quality of its construction. I did not purchase my copy of this grill from Amazon. I purchased it from bbqdirect. That is because they had an incredible sale ($1499), now over, that I could not resist. I have used this so far for virtually every kind of cooking including high heat and low and slow. It performed admirably in all situations. I had considered a Kamado Joe and a Weber Summit before purchasing this. The Joe looked very nice but I really wanted something that would last a lifetime. The Summit although higher quality than other things that Weber makes still hit me as overpriced for what you get. It doesn't seem like it would last forever. I did also look at the Golden cast iron cooker, but decided that I didn't want to deal with the weight. I also like the fact that the Blaze Kamado has no gasket to replace.Blaze has a video on YouTube that answers a lot of questions about the grill. Amazon won't let me post the link. Google for Blaze Kamado FAQ.By the way, the cart in the picture is made by smokenproducts.com for the large Big Green Egg and fits the Blaze like a glove.UPDATE AFTER 2 YEARSThis is still an awesome grill. I've made everything on this, pork shoulder, countless chicken (with accessory rotisserie), two Thanksgiving turkeys, stews, pizzas, brats and burgers too. It's performed flawlessly. Temperature control is a good. Just love it. Can't wait to use it tonight!
