Default KJ Big Joe owners.....any remorse?

How have you liked you Big Joe kamado monsters?


Any regrets not buying another product instead?


If so, which one?


Looks like a very impressive do-everything answer.

I'm going to a grill store Thursday to compare one to an XL BGE & Primo Oval XL.

None whatsoever. I am extremely satisfied with the Big Joe.

If I keep cooking meals as good as I have this week, then all my bj goals will be achieved.


KJ could be the ticket. :)

I sometimes get remorse. But only on the color. At times I wish I had the red.

I love my red Classic Joe and wish I had a Big Joe.

I can say I wouldn't regret a Big Joe and I don't even have one.

How is the cart?


Stable?


Wings fairly sturdy?

The cart is very stable. I move it multiple times a week. Just remember pull, never push. Side tables are strong.

The split heat deflector for sure. Makes reverse searing a breeze.
