Is The GourmetPot Charcoal Ceramic Grill--A Good Fit For You on Summer BBQ?
If you love to grill, you've more than likely seen the GourmetPot Charcoal Ceramic grill. It's a ceramic barbeque grill which can be used as a bbq grill, smoker and also an outdoor oven. It's so adaptable you'll be able to make anything from hamburgers and steaks and other traditional bbq grill foods to desserts, bread and also pizza.
Probably the largest distinction is the overall look of the grill. GourmetPot Charcoal Ceramic grill is well, firm and shaped like a big egg. The egg shape appeared to be created (on purpose) to provide the power to help you control and maintain the heat in the bbq grill a lot better than other grills.
The second biggest distinction is the material the grill is made of. Instead of being made with metal, the GourmetPot has thick ceramic walls. Ceramic is noticeably more sturdy in comparison with other materials, which means the GourmetPot will last longer than other grills and smokers, it can be used all year (even with freezing temperatures). It is also less dangerous than other grills, particularly when there are children running around, since the ceramic exterior stays cooler than regular metal barbecue grills plus you always cook with the lid down, so you won't have to be concerned with flare-ups.
Now, the GourmetPot does have a few negatives in comparison with other grills. For instance, it isn't an inexpensive grill. You can expect to spend approximately $559 to get a large Charcoal Ceramic grill. In addition, you have to use lump wood charcoal, which isn't always readily available and is usually a bit more expensive than traditional charcoal briquettes. The GourmetPot also has a smaller grilling surface area when compared with many gas grills, which means you'll want a back-up grill if you're entertaining a number of people.
Having said that, the overall flexibility of the GourmetPot, the ability to grill or smoke as well as the amazing results you get (the GourmetPot is very forgiving, even for newbie cooks) are worthy of the price tag. If you're a barbeque lover and you also do a lot of smoking in addition to grilling you will really enjoy the quality and the results you will get when cooking on the GourmetPot. |

Thank you for your unbiased first post about this ceramic cooker.
I don't know what we would do without such conscientious members?
Of course it does read just like a spam post, so can I ask how much they pay you to advertise for them?
It probably wouldn't be so bad if you had a few pictures of your using one of them in your backyard, or a competition, or perhaps with 3 or 4 because as you say they are smaller than the average ceramic grill.
If you post as a member that will be fine, if you don't then perhaps you need to be paying for advertising space, http://www.thesmokering.com/adrates3.jsp follow the link and pay the piper! _________________ Here's a change Robert.

I'm good with ceramic cookers- truly I am.
But, there is some fallacy in your advert:

It's not a distinction on YOUR grill, as there are others on the market with a similar design.

Really?
In comparison to what?
If/when Humpty Dumpty falls off that wall, it can and will break.
There is nothing sturdier than a heavy walled steel cooker.
Granted the ceramic is naturally well insulated, and that comes with a cost.
In addition to breakage, they are biotch to hump around (move it) if/when you want to take it with you, or simply reposition on the patio.

Frankly I'd have to agree.
So are the other ceramic grills/cookers/smokers on the market!
Buy some advertising here, you obviously have a great target audience! _________________ BBQMAN

I have a solution- it involves travel south like any snowbird does.
Not to sound like an advert for Florida, Arizona and SoCal also make great wintering possibilities!
If you plan on taking your GourmetPot with you, please insure a steady and secure ride for it.
If you pull your back out moving it, please consult your local Chiropractic office..................................
Before you know it, you will be a one-man stimulus project.
Sorry in advance for the crude and perhaps sarcastic sense of humor- I blame the entire thing on lack of sleep and not owning a ceramic grill. _________________ BBQMAN
