I have dreamed of owning one of these for years, my old grill failed last year, and my family gifted me the Classic II for Christmas this year.   I cannot tell you how much I like this grill.   The quality of the build is so far above what I have been using that I could not imagine it being made so well.   I have been so impressed... my charcoal use has actually gone down, this thing is so efficient on fuel.   I have already purchased additional accessories and although I have made some cooks already I have yet to fully explore the possibilities!   The slow roller accessory really seems to impart a deeper, cleaner smoke finish to my cooks and the heavy charcoal basket is built like a tank!   My old basket is wire mesh by comparison.   Overall, I am very pleased with my new Joe and look forward to decades of fine eats produced by this very well made cooking machine!
