I have had my Kamado Joe classic I for 3 years. I use it at least twice a week and my food is consistently great. I have had propane, pellet, charcoal grills and none of them can compare with my Kamado Joe. I was intimidated when I first bought it, but there are so many YouTube tutorials to get me started. I wish I would have bought one sooner and my family prefers to eat at home instead of going out.
