[QUOTE="08mojo, post: 16418138, member: 132915"] I would take a look at the Classic size. It's the perfect size for most of your cooks and will consume less charcoal for the majority of your cooking vs the Big Joe. If you are occasionally cooking for a crowd, there are ways to be creative and make the Classic size work: for ribs, buy rib racks that hold the ribs on their side (I think I cooked 5-6 racks of baby back ribs on a large/classic size grill); you can also double stack the grilling surfaces (not my pic) [ATTACH=full]1640259[/ATTACH] Yes and no. I have a Large Egg and a Classic Joe. The Joe does come with more accessories 'out of the box,' but you also pay more. When I was cross shopping, the prices seemed to be virtually identical for the Joe and the Egg. I needed a second grill and ended up going with Kamado Joe for the simple reason they were moving their local warehouse and were liquidating the remaining inventory. I paid $520 for a brand new Classic joe and standard accessories. The Egg seems to be higher quality: solid ceramic fire-box for the egg vs the multi-piece (and pain in the ass to clean) Joe fire-box, thicker plate setter in the egg, etc... In general the Egg stuff is higher quality (including accessories). I do have to give the Joe credit: their hinge/latch setup and seals are superior to the Egg. Performance wise: I have to give the nod to the Kamado Joe (but not by much). The Joe has a very even cooking temperature across the entire cooking grate. My Egg is always a little warmer at the back and a little cooler at the front. You can't go wrong with either one. I suspect my Egg will survive better over the long run, but we'll see. [/QUOTE]
