Hey folks, got my KJ2 last weekend and getting used to it.
Have been using a Weber Kettle for years but took the plunge on a Kamado after playing around with one of the mini ones.
Here’s a cook from this evening. Spatchcock chicken. Cooked for 45 minutes until the MEATER read 70c then took it off to rest and over cook.

Nice, all about cooking rain or shine. I would have put a drip tray down or something but that’ll all burn off easily.
Don’t be afraid to bump that temp up a little bit, I like doing mine at 400, pull at same internal temp. Crisps up the skin nice but meat is still juicy. Bird looks great, happy grilling!
Looks great, but your opening the lid a little too fast. Get in the habbit of burping it, -open a little, pause a second or two, then open all the way – or one of these days you will burn your face, or someone else’s if they are standing near.
Thanks for the points folks! Super helpful. Will try to get it hotter the next time I do it. Currently have short ribs on a low and slow. Really enjoying cooking with it.
As for burping that’s a great point. I had actually just opened it previously and when I recorded it was for Instagram so there was no build up at that point but good reminder to burp it!
