i can't speak for the biggreenegg or the kamodo but i do have an older ceramic grill that i got at yardsell many moon ago and love it. it is smaller and i am looking for another larger one and it wood also ne good to have a slow cook and grill going at once. the komodokamado website has been great as it lists all other places to get them. i am cuban and love tile work, my veranda is highly decorated by my late father. i will have to get one with tile...can't believe they make them tiled. que linda!

I have a Big Green Egg. Ceramics are the only way to go. There are many companies doing the ceramic thing now. If I buy another (and I will eventually) I may spend a few extra dollars on the KomodoKamado. It's a new company that's following the mold (literally it seems) of Kamado, but seems to be making some great improvements on the original and is on the cutting edge. I went there to investigate and from there I was pointed to every other company that makes ceramic cookers...for comparison. I felt like I was at that insurance company that gives you quotes on 3 or 4 other companies along with their own. How's that for not being afraid of the competition! Do the research, there's a ceramic grill for every income...ceramics rule!!!!!
