Let me start with the quality.  It is excellent.  From top to bottom.  I owned a Vision Grills Maxis (24”) prior to this and it was poorly designed, poorly built, and leaked air like a sieve.  The Kamado Joe Big Joe 2 is radically better.  The design is better.  Parts fit together tightly and are assembled properly.  As a result, temperature control is easy, predictable, and reliable.  And given the fact that food can be cooked much closer to or much further from the coals.  This is also unique to Kamado Joe, it seems.  

I suspect this product will serve me well for many years.  

If I had one small complaint, it would be about the assembly of the fire bowl.  It can be a bit challenging and can result in chipping of pieces as you put it all together, and a simple tool like a styrofoam form would make it much easier.  But this is a very, very minor thing.  

I’m extremely happy with this product.
