I bought my Big Joe in Saudi Arabia in 2013. I've cooked hundreds of chickens, over 100 kg of wings, 1000s of steaks, over 50 briskets, and on and on. I liked it so much that when I retired, I shipped it home. It's well-worn, that's for sure, but I've been standing in front of grills since 1980, and this is the best cooking device I've ever used.
