re: Anyone have or familiar with Kamado Joe Ceramic Grills?

I researched BGE, Kamado Joe and Primo last fall when i was having my patio redone. If you are considering a Kamado Joe, you should at least take a look at the Primo Grills. That is the one I went with - Primo Oval XL. Not sure what size you need but I wanted to be sure that I always had plenty of room but the Primo has an extra Firebox divider that I can use when I'm cooking for just me and my wife. I think all 3 of them are going to be pretty similar and cook some really good food. From experience, the Primo is a fantastic ceramic cooker...big and the oval shape on mine gave me more grilling area than the BGE at a similar cost. I liked the different Primo accessories and of course, the ability to divide the firebox. It's easy to light and it holds temps like a champ too. I smoked a beef brisket for the 4th and have done everything from smoked chicken and ribs to pizza and high-heat seared steaks (700+ degrees). I even baked a sweet potato casserole on it last Thanksgiving. It works for anything. Made in America too!
