Hi all, I'm in the process of moving and sold my 15 year old bge. Now I'm faced with a dilemma. What to replace it with.
The new house has an outdoor kitchen and already has a high end gas grill that's plumbed in. So that's covered.
Now I'm wanting to add a charcoal grill. My question is to people who've used both the Weber summit and kamado Joe(big Joe 3) did you favor one over the other in terms of practical usability? Things like ash removal, adding lump mid cook, lighting, accessories, etc?
I've read/watched exhaustive amounts of threads and videos and know the differences, but for me it would come back to which is just overall more pleasant to own and use, as I know either will turn out killer food.
The kj gasket system/latch look like worlds better than the Weber, and overall the kj just looks more "premium" to me. But on the flip side the Weber ash clean out looks easier.
Kj seems to have more accessories, possibly better cooking grid system etc etc.
My last question and options also might be to buy a 22" Weber performer and a mak 2 pellet smoker but I honesty think the Weber summit/kj can do just about everything better than a pellet grill other than light itself.
Any insight is greatly appreciated.
