Simply put, the KJII has exceeded my expectations. Since late 2020, I have fed more than 1000 people with briskets, ribs, spatchcock chicken, smash burgers, chicken wings, and reverse sear steaks. This KJII beauty is a crowd pleaser. Unfortunately, after 2 years of use, the ceramic completely cracked. Submitted warranty and was able to get most of the parts replaced but it took way too Iong to get the replacement parts. Nonetheless, I’m back up and running with it. Thanks KJ.
