My wife and I talk about how buying our KJ JR is the best money we've ever spent. I use it for everything I can... chicken wings, pork chops, steaks as often as possible. I have a rule for family that visits: if you buy the protein and it will fit, I'll smoke it. Everyone takes me up on it and I'm going to upgrade to a KJ II as soon as possible, but I won't get rid of the JR because of how quickly I can heat it up and how portable it is. I bought mine because my buddy brings his to tailgate all the time and it's the best.
