I have had my Big Joe for over 3 years.  Absolutely the finest cooking machine I have ever had since I started grilling over 40 years ago!!!  I can grill, cook, fry and bake on this!  My friends how bought the Green Egg are in envious and I have let them use it on occasion just to compare!  And as I figured tell me no comparison!!!  Get a Joe and you will know what real cooking of all kinds are!!!
