Grill Dome Infinity Series Ceramic Kamado Charcoal Smoker Grill Review

The 10 Second Review:

The Infinity Series from "Grill Dome" is a great mid-range ceramic kamado grill. Beyond the basic features the only real noticeable upgrade is the super easy to open hinge that makes opening the grill ones handed a breeze for even a child.

There is nothing fundamentally wrong with the Grill Dome Kamado, its just that they did not go above any beyond with the features of this grill and while that may sound like a negative to some people, other love this grill because of it's sleek, no frills design.

The Grill Dome Infinity Series is a beautiful grill, it’s smooth and sleek finish (available in multiple colors) gives it an almost futuristic look while it’s solid build commands respect. What the Infinity lacks in futuristic features it makes up for in construction; the super-thick ceramic walls and parts are heavy and high quality to ensure even cooking and years of use.

As mentioned there really are not many frills on this grill. This may bother some people who have used other more feature rich model but, it is the exact reason that most people buy this grill. There really is zero learning curve using the Grill Dome Kamado and coupled with the incredibly light hinge this grill is perfect for someone who is just starting out with a Kamado or even someone who is physically unable to open the heavier lids on other models.

There are a limited amount of accessories made by the Grill Dome company, however many of the accessories for other kamado grills work just fine with this grill.

One of the other reason people choose the Inifinity Series is the color selection; I know it sounds crazy but not everyone wants a giant green egg in their custom outdoor kitchen!

The pricing of the Grill Dome Infinity is really it’s biggest downfall. It is priced in the range of the highest-end grill available and the availability is limited. Being hard-to-find makes them almost have a sort of exclusivity to them making them even more desirable to some people.

All in all the Infinity Grill by Grill Dome is a well constructed and beautiful grill, but lacks the features and accessories to command it’s high price. Now, if you come across a great deal on one of these cookers, by all means don’t be scared to jump on it.

The 10 Second Review:

The Vision Grills CF1F1 Kamado is a professional grade ceramic dome grill that carries a lifetime warranty on all ceramic parts. While the cost of this grill is slightly less than that of a BGE (Big Green Egg), the craftsmanship, accessories, and warranty make it a serious competitor for the Egg.

When investing the money in buying a top of the line grill, one of the most important aspects to keep in mind is how long your new grill will last. After spending $200 on a mid-level grill every other year, many people come to the realization that they could have saved money in the long run by purchasing a high end grill instead.

The Vision Grill CF1F1 Pro Kamado BBQ not only has the craftsmanship and material to last for a lifetime, it is backed by a lifetime warranty on all ceramic parts of the grill and a generous 5 year warranty on all other parts. While I have not personally had to contact their customer support I have spoken directly with people who have reported having parts shipped next-day air to them!

Beyond the incredible warranty and customer service, the Vision grill company has been making professional grade grills for over a decade and this culinary wonder is no exception. The Vision Grills Pro Kamado C Series is their top of the line grill.

Made from heavy duty ceramic with 596 square inches of grilling space, the CF1F1 BBQ grill has also had some ingenious features added to it such as a removable ash drawer and improved dual venting design that allows you to create zones and rapidly change the temperature of the grill to switch quickly from smoking, to searing, to baking. The fire starter port is also a great feature that allows you to easily light the grill with your electric coal starter with little fuss.

The Vision Kamado Pro has some really nice addons with it right out of the box such as a 2 locking caster stainless steel cart that makes moving a breeze, 2 solid drop down side shelves and a stainless steel flip 2-tier cooking grate.

Cooking on the Vision BBQ grill is quite like cooking with any other high-end kamado…IT’S GREAT! With the price coming in a tad lower than a comparable Egg and including a cart and other accessories, this may be the biggest competitor for the Big Green Egg yet.

UPDATE: We have received reports that people are finding much lower prices at their local harware stores and grill distributors than online for this specific make of grill. As always, make sure that the place you are purchasing your grill is an authorized dealer and the manufacturer’s warranty applies.

Big Green Egg Review

The 10 Second Review:

The Pros:
In short, if you can afford a big green egg; BUY IT! These grills are the top of the line when it comes to kamado style grills. They are a dream to cook on, the materials and craftsmanship of the grill is superb.
The Cons:
The biggest downside to the big green egg line of grills is the price tag. Depending on the size you want you can expect to pay almost $4000! Besides the price is the inability to purchase the grills online.
