I’ve had my Classic II for about 5 months. I had watched a a ton of YouTube videos and finally decided to make the jump from a gas grill. This thing is phenomenal!!! An absolute beast, and it’s made like a tank. Personal opinion but I would take the Kamado over a BGE or Vision. Everything I’ve made from this has been incredible and I’m always trying new things. Great product, get it, you won’t be disappointed.
