I got a classic 2. Almost a year in and so far so good. It’s hard to beat once you get it dialed in.

My old metal grill couldn’t hold heat well if it was windy and/or cold outside. So far the Kamado joe’s hasn’t had the issue.

Worst part is just having to give it 15-20 min to heat up. I just put a fire starter on and finish up a tv show or prepping the food. It’s usually to temp by the time I go back out.
