First time making these and loved them!
Fairly simple to make, but very rewarding.

Newbie Question about temperature
Hi folks! I’m very new to using a Kamado, but absolutely love it! There are a lot of things I need to learn and figure out, and I’m learning a lot on this sub! So thank you for that!
I’m hoping you can teach me another thing. I can’t figure this temperature thing out.
I’m currently cooking beer can chicken. Trying to start out easy. My dome says it’s ~170c. (338F) I also have two probes - 1 in the breast, 1 in the leg. They have different readings - 217c (423F) on the breast. 179 (354F) on the leg. So have 3 different readings, with a difference of 47c (117F) I don’t get it. What am I doing wrong?
Would very much appreciate the help!
I added the photos so you can see where I messed up 😉

I built-in my Akorn Auto Kamado into my new outdoor kitchen.
I removed the side shelves, disconnected the fan controller / electronic thermometer from the side shelf and cut the legs. The controller now sits free. My plan will be to connect and disconnect with each cook.
Quite happy with how this turned out.

New Akorn Kamado ceramic bowl etc . Would love advice on cooking pork butt and a spare ribs. Also, just general use knowledge. How do I make it hotter - cooler , is it easy to adjust? Does it cook these types of bbq well? It was a gift so I’m just now trying to ‘get to know it’

I've spent 18 hours researching kamado grills. My wife has lost all respect for me. Please help.
I went deep into the biggest rabbit hole of my life. Budget is under £1,000 all-in including rotisserie.
Already own a Masterbuilt 36" + a bullet smoker for large group and volume cooks — the kamado is for hot and fast weeknight cooking with occasional ribs, chicken or pork shoulder. Family of 3, guests up to 6.
Two questions before the shortlist:
Is ceramic cracking actually common on budget kamados or have I just read too many horror stories? Am I overthinking the warranty situation?
Is the chip feeder on Ynni and similar brands genuinely useful or a gimmick?
The shortlist:
Boss Egg XL £619 — sits in KJ Classic accessory ecosystem, good value. 1 year warranty puts me off despite UK consumer law probably covering me anyway.
Wild Goose Pro £749 — looks more like a KJ Classic 3 than a traditional egg. Segmented firebox, spring hinge, native rotisserie available. 12 month warranty again.
Kamado Bono Grande £759 — solid reputation, own accessory range. Single piece firebox and warranty has a crack exclusion clause.
Ynni 23" ~£936 bundle — Welsh importer, direct from manufacturer, 20 year ceramic warranty, 20.5" cooking grate, 14 colour options ( white looks sexy). Single piece firebox and warranty parts reportedly arrive with next China shipment — could be months.
KJ Classic 1 ~£899 — obviously the benchmark. But feels a generation behind on features compared to newer budget options.
My wife is ready to buy it herself. Please put me out of my misery

Boss Grill king egg
I'm looking for a Kamado big enough for parties but I can't justify the cost of the Big Joe 2 or 3 or the same versions of the BGE.
I can't seem to find much online about the Boss Grill king egg, particularly about the accessories available. Does anyone have one and is there an easy way to shop for accessories? I mostly want a rotisserie, cast iron grills etc.
Any other alternatives in the big joe size range?
