I’ve been through a load of bbqs, started with a proQ smoker, used for a mix of smoking and as a kettle bbq. Had always wanted a BGE or KJ but couldn’t justify the spend. I bought one of the mini kamado ceramic bbqs from lidl a couple of years back to try it out and it was good but as mentioned with the big Aldi one, the components felt cheap, so it convinced be to bite the bullet and I bought a KJ classic 2 in the Black Friday sale last year at around 25% off rrp.
Have used it most weekends since and really recommend it highly, it’s very well built.
One thing a lot of people forget though is the fuel, it’s really worth buying decent lump wood charcoal as ceramic bbqs are so efficient that the extra spend is negligible.
