My friend recommended getting a ceramic grill. I couldn't afford a real Kamado Joe so I bought a knock-off. The build quality of that grill was pretty poor, like it was made in a bad part of China. It didn't come with any accessories and the lid didn't line up with the grill body. Too soon a part inside the grill cracked.
When I came across a REAL Kamado Joe on sale I jumped on the opportunity. This grill is considerably heavier than the knock-off and as I was assembling it I could see and feel that the build quality was way higher, plus it came with all the accessories too!
I was wondering if I would get a better cook on this and WOW was I pleased with my first cooks! I made some burnt ends and later I cooked a brisket and everything I've made on this grill has come out much better than kn my knock-off.
In the future I hope to acquire the other sizes of Kamado Joe grills. No more wasting time and money on knock-offs!
