Heard about the BGE several years ago. Could not make the decision to spend that much on a grill. When I found KJ and researched, it was obvious that KJ was a better overall choice. Finally made the leap earlier this year and could not be happier. Took a bit to get the hang of managing fire, but once I was able to get it dialed in, the cooks have been amazing. Ribs, pork shoulder,  salmon, meatloaf, jerky have all turned out great. Looking forward to my first brisket.
