You could save money. This one does the job quite nicely. WIFI as well!

Too funny, my neighbor was out of town last weekend and I cooked a 14 lb brisket and 10 lb pork shoulder on it. It was the Jim Bowie model.

 

The good: Hudddggeee smoke ring on the pork shoulder, super juicy, a 9/10 performance.

The bad: Major temperature swings (up to 75 degree difference between controller display and grill lid), probe temperature was wrong (showed 200 degrees internal brisket temp in 4 hours at 250????), burned through $22 in fuel in 12 hours, auger jammed 6 hours in required complete breakdown of grill.

 

Basically, the "set it and forget it" appeal was gone, and all the issues I've had in owning a wood pellet stove at my home flared up again. I will not be buying one.

 

Kamado has a huge temp range, uses less fuel, less parts to maintain, and can crush grill, smoking and hot oven requirements with ease.

I haven't had any problems with temp swings or any auger jams. One thing though is the probe issue I don't trust it. I just use a regular thermometer. I think I may call the tech help which is very good btw.

Yes, calling tech support on day one of using the grill sounds quite enjoyable.

Really sorry I posted. You should buy a egg.

What can I say, the $60 masterbuilt smoker I got off Craigslist runs better than that thing, and $6 in fuel to run it for 16 hours.

Glad you enjoy it, but my first experience was very frustrating and not what I expected, and that's tough to ignore.
