Thank you for posting this informative video. I've owned and loved the food my Traeger has produced for 15 years. Yes, it does ruin you for going out, whether it is salmon, chicken, pork, or beef. This year it was a question of whether to upgrade to an insulated Traeger or go ceramic. We live in Alaska. In the winter we smoke for flavor on the Traeger and then bring the food in to finish cooking. No complaints, great flavor, lots of compliments. Except for the heating rod needing to be replaced every few years, and once the thermostat, no issues. However, the Traeger does not go hot enough to sear, and I love making pizza, 500°+ is a no go on the Traeger or non-commercial ovens. And the idea of a well insulated and sealed grill (think moist!) without the need of a electricity was inspiring. I bought a Kamodo Joe Classic 2 (would have bought a 3 but not offered locally and had an issue getting it shipptd). So far I'm impressed with the moisture the Kamodo holds and the ability to sear. Unfortunately, I taste charcoal though. I may be doing something wrong but I think the wood pellets with the Traeger have better flavor. I've also had a problem getting the grill to 500+. Having re-watched the video I'll try the nuggets mentioned. I'm using natural wood lump charcoal and wood chunks and my food still tastes kinda like it was dropped in the charcoal - I would really appreciate tips on how to get away from that!

I'm trying to decide between the two. I've been leaning towards the Kamado Joe for a while. But pellet grill has my interest for the convenience

EXCELLENT VIDEO !!! GUESS I AM GETTING A KJ.... THE STEAKS AND THE OTHER FOOD AT THE END; DID IT FOR ME !!!

good review

Great video.... I was struggling with this decision and discussing it with colleagues.... no more, KJ all the way!!

Thanks for this video. I’m researching a lot between this and a Napoleon 665 or Treger. I’m leaning towards the KJ because of the slow roller. What is the best size to purchase for the KJ? Where can you get the lump charcoals and wood chunks?

Great video, thanks for sharing! Which Kamado Joe was that?

That was the big Joe series 2

That steak looked so good off the Joe
