Beautiful Grill that everyone compliments, very heavy (takes two people to lift) and well built with quality stainless hardware. I’ve had it for about 3 years and love cooking on it. I did need to adjust the lid to stay open when new as another review stayed but that’s why it’s adjustable and easy to do. It’s not cheap and I wish it came with the accessories package like heat deflector and pizza stone but overall I’m very happy with the purchase and quality.

We have a NewAge Signature Series outdoor kitchen and it has been a nightmare to say the least. The instructions are terrible, the cabinets have a plastic coating you have to take off and it literally took us a week just to remove it. It is partially assembled with the plastic in between screws and seams(it makes no sense). Everything has been a guessing game putting this together. Make sure you have a tile and skill saw because you will be doing a lot of cutting. We are DIY people but this was absolutely ridiculous and way too much work for the money. The other problem is nothing is ever available, it’s either out of stock or back ordered for months so forget putting together a custom kitchen if you want the refrigerator or the frame. Very frustrating.

This smoker holds heat very well. It’s solid and heavy, well constructed. Great product.

I got the NewAge Platinum Kamado to replace my old Kamado from another brand because its fire bowl started cracking, and both the top & bottom vents were hard to open & close as they rusted. I like this NewAge Kamado which has lots of great features like the vents are stainless steel material that I am not worried about the rusting problem and the unique design of the Ash Bucket that can contain a large amount of ash but it doesn’t block the airflow. The Cart is very sturdy and stainless steel with solid wood folding side-tables, and the castors are large I have no issue with moving the Kamado around over my bumpy patio. Cooking with this Kamado has been so fun although I also love cooking with my NewAge gas grill when serving a big party of friends and family with plenty of food, or on the weekday I need to quickly prepare the meals. During weekends and holidays, I very enjoy my time using this Kamado that is so chill from lighting the charcoal, manipulating the temperature, smelling the burning charcoal aroma, watching the smoke coming out from the top to enjoying the delicious food with a smoky flavor that are such a wonderful leisure moment and artisan experience. All the accessories I have were working perfectly, I smoked the beef brisket at low temperature for hours, seared the steaks, roasted the chicken and turkey, grilled the lobsters, and made pizza on the pizza stone. This is a great Kamado grill that I would like to recommend it to everyone!
