Looked at kamado grills for 2 years before finally buying one, got good deals at scheels post Christmas so got the classic 2 plus some accessories. It is definitely a learning curve coming across from gas grilling but so much fun, every cook is a new adventure and challenge ive only burnt one cook so far. Very good quality parts only complaint is with joetisserie closing lid required adjusting the air hinge slightly. Otherwise I love my grill!!
