    Smoker upgrade... Kamado?

    Agree with retfr8flyr... I also purchased a Kamado Big Joe and cook on it almost daily! Absolutely love it and have no complaints in two years of cooking. From low and slow, to searing a sirloin cap at 800F, heck I even cooked a few deserts on my Big Joe. I added a CyberQ wi-if unit to it so...

    MES 40 Temp Issues - I know I am not alone!!
