Go Kamado

I have a Big Green Egg, which is like a Komado grill. I was curious to learn some tricks and good recipes from the Go Kamado book. The introductory pages are a great visual aid to using the grill. There's even a chart that shows different smoking woods and their features. Recipes are organized by type of item grilled, including a section on wild game (e.g., antelope medallions or smoked goat bolognese). Other recipes include homemade pastrami, , citrus-glazed pork loin, grilled watermelon salad, and even a chocolate cake. Clearly grilling isn't the only thing you can do in your Komado grill. Each recipe has a handy visual aid at the top of the page that gives prep time, cook time, serving size, type/temp of heat, and cooking surface. The recipes are easy to follow. Photos could be a bit more colorful--seem rather drab and less appetizing. But, I'd definitely try the recipes in this book--a great guide to a great grill.

The book starts with a thorough 'Introductory' section with an explanation of what the Kamado is and how it works, and tips on different cooking techniques that you are able to do with the grill.

Mainly this book expects you to want to cook meat/game/seafood with your grill. There are many recipes for a variety of meat, and no section for vegetables, but there are sections for sides and desserts. The recipes are brusquely worded, and the photographs are masculine, rich, brown, extra meaty and intentionally casual. But, the 'Stuffed Alligator' and 'Smoked Goat Bolognese' are just not for me, and the feeling of the book is more macho then instructive.
