This is a fantastic grill. I get the benefits of a ceramic kamado stable temps plus a quick prep-time.  This grill is relatively quick to heat up and is perfect for small family dinners.  I use the seat plate to cook steaks and veggies and a soap stone to cook fish. I can cook with indirect and direct heat.  It doesn’t take up much room for those with small porches or balconies. I use my Joe Jr. multiple times per week - we love it.
