Hey legends!

In this episode, we do a step by step guide on setup and cooking with your Kamado! This covers everything I've learned on cooking with my Kamado in the past 5 years and I hope it answers some of the questions that you might have. If you have any more questions not covered here, please reach out to us in the comments or on insta/facebook @geofftherealchef and we'll answer them and add them to the description below for everyone else :)
