I have owned virtually all types of outdoor cookers in the past.  Stick burners, electric smokers, regular charcoal grills, pellet grills, But I finally got the KBJIII and it does it all! No need for any other grill ever again.  Super easy to maintain the temperature I want, which is what I was always afraid of before.  The beatuiful Kamado Joe brings my family together over fabulous meals with wonderful BBQ flavor.  Never dry meat due to the superb efficiency.
