My area rep is going to be swinging by next week with one. I'm curious to see it. I've actually have had a few inquire about it. At $1800 I was hoping for some actual temperature control, not just an adjustable rotary control, but I think I might have an answer to that ;)

I hope you Bi___-slapped the guy that boiled his ribs  >:( ;D :D

Ribs need to be bathed in moist warm smokey air in complete darkness for hours....not immersed in boiling water..that aint right  >:(
maybe he's making a stock for soup or to put in a risotto ;D

$1800 is way too much IMHO. You are in MAK and Memphis range at that price point.

You could almost get -2- Rec Tec's and have a combined cooking space of 1360 instead of the 290 the Black Olive offers. For only 400.00 more you could get the Yoder YS-610 with that sweet competition cart.............

Don't kill this grill before seeing it or cooking with it.  Besides, yuppies need something to cook on also.

It looks like the Black Olive's forte and intent will be high heat grilling, not low & slow. So, a large hopper and a lot of temp control probably isn't needed.

Most kamodo's work well @ low & slow, the biggest weakness is they work poorly for 2 Zone grilling.
With an 11 lb hopper an insulated cooker of this small size should run for ever @ 225-250 F

Has anyone actually used a Black Olive? I go by results, not necessarily analysis.

I don't think there dealers have them yet. When I called one to check on the price he said they should be getting them sometime this month.
