Reqtec had a pellet grill shaped like a kettle, it can get to 500 in 15 minutes in my experience, their newer model which i don't have can get close to 1000 though I don't know how long it takes to get there. In my experience you don't need less than 15 as you start it and do meal prep and by the time you are done with meal prep its ready. Though i don't think I shoot for 500 very often. I expected charcoal to be the fastest but don't think people use pellet smokers for speed. Its ease of use, you turn it on and walk away. I will say until a certain government organization passed some dumb laws, you could turn your pellet smokers on through wi-fi while on your way home from work and it would be up to temp when you got home.

James, only caveat to the experiment is you didn’t take into account how long you torched the charcoal, so you probably should add another minute or two to that time. Still not a bad time, but definitely took longer than turning a knob or pushing a button.

I think the big difference is that at 5 minutes, your charcoal isn't going to be burning clean and going to impart some gross flavours if you actually start a cook before it starts to burn clean. I love my kamados, but the fact that I can start cooking at second 1 on a gas grill, vs 15-20 minutes for a clean burning charcoal.

I bought a Kamado Joe Classic 3 a few weeks ago and a cheap version of that torch from Amazon and it's definitely quicker than my Weber gas grill. Thanks for sharing this!!! I hope more people realize the versatility and value of the Kamado style grill!!

I’ve a grill gun but the simple cooks are easier on the gas Weber.
We are overlooking set up time and clean up of ash time in this test.

Can i grill with charcoal immediately after 7 Minuten or does the charcoal have to Flow through First?

I think my only issue with this video is that we didn’t account for cleaning out the ash and pouring in the new charcoal to create proper airflow.

Gas would have been much quicker if you had lit all the burners.

Maybe do a vidieo on validating and calibrating the Temp gauges on a Komoto Grill

Awesome video! I frequently have this conversation with gas grill owners. Now I can start sending them this video :).
