I bought this for my boyfriend’s 30th birthday to reignite his passion for cooking, and I’m so glad I did. He uses it EVERY weekend, rain or shine (or snow…we live in Canada). Temperature regulation is super easy, and cooking is a breeze. Only reason I gave this product 4-stars instead of 5 is because the mesh gasket on the Joe was damaged upon delivery. However, when I contacted Customer Service, they were super helpful and were able to send me a replacement for the damaged part right away. We fixed it ourselves and have been using it consistently ever since!
