Finally leveled up my grill game and picked up a KamadoJoe! Also grabbed a pair of oven-proof gloves from Amazon, some Edlund tongs, and a Typhur thermometer to round things out.
First time trying my hand at serious meat grilling with proper gear, wish me luck🔥! Any tips for a first cook on the KJ?

Don’t skimp on the lumpwood. One of the most common complaints I see from new users is the inability to get to/sustain temp, usually caused by insufficient fuel.
You can always shut the vents at the end and extinguish what is left to use next time.
Setting temp with vents is a learning process! Takes a little time to dial in.
Tailor the number of fire lighters you’re using to the final temp you want. If you’re aiming for 150C, no more than 2, but if aiming for 200C, then 3.
Have fun and don’t get frustrated if something doesn’t come out as desired. You’ll only get better.
For all the hate that smoking dad bbq gets on here, some of her videos do explain the fundamentals well. Just ignore the nonsense ones where he starts to over complicate things with double indirect etc
