Back when my father-in-law was flying as a navigator in the USAF, while on TDY in Japan he purchased a Clay Kamodo grill. Now, I have to admit I did not know this at the time, but two weeks ago it showed back up at my mother-in-laws garage. It seems it had been making the family rounds, and no one wanted it so I had a nose around it.
The dome was in perfect shape, the base had a large crack form the firebox door, to the to of the lip, and there were a few pieces of outer cay that had been knocked off, but for the most part in good shape. Looking inside, the fire ring, grate, and firebox were all broken into pieces, but amazingly they were all there. It seems the only thing missing was the cap, and the grill did not have a stand.
So I immediately started looking at how to restore a Green Egg, because, I didn't know it wasn't a Green Egg. But thanks to this website and the many people who restored old grills before mine. I learned quite a bit, and have decided to tackle the job of bringing this thing back to life. I will by 59 years old this September, the grill will be 58 years old.
I just wanted to say thanks to all the guys and gals on here that inspired me to revitalize this old grill.
