Got this grill a few months ago. The Jr is perfect for my family of four. If you are looking to grill for more than that, you may want to look at getting a bigger grill but as it stands I can do an entire spatchcock chicken, about 3 steaks and 4 normal sized burgers which works out perfect. Thing maintains heat like a beast. Really easy to use.

I’ve had it a few weeks now, done several cooks, and love it so far. It’s a perfect size for the the two of us. It holds temperature very well and everything I’ve cooked on it has tasted great. It’s light enough for one or two people to move easily, but added a Grilla Cart, (it fit perfectly) which gets it up a bit higher. Highly recommended.

Great little grill/smoker. Surprisingly capable for its size. Super skimpy on fuel, heats very quickly and holds a steady temperature once dialed in. Smoked a brisket flat for 12 hours and had plenty of fuel left over for plank salmon the next day. Eliminates the hesitancy of firing up a bigger smoker when you’re only cooking for a few. Combine all that with a great customer service experience and you’re left with nothing more to like. This little guy rocks!

I own one for 4 years now, and it's ideal. For Dutch standards it easily serves four. The dimensions are so smart. Whole chicken: fits. Two sizeable sea breams: fits. It's just the larger rib racks that need to be portioned and smoked sideways. The frame puts it high enough to operate by slightly bending over, and since mine is placed on a roof terrace accessed via a hatch, it's also low enough to be operated from within the hatch (half open) on a rainy low&slow cook. Light enough to be hoisted up 5 stairs. Heats up in no time. The only feature caveat is the absence of a weather proof vent. But I fixed that with a improv add on from the local hardware store. Recommended it to a colleague who then fell in love with the Classic II instead :-)

Bought this two months ago and have used around 4kg of charcoal (1/2 a large bag of charcoal) already. I light the unit using 4 tiki candles on a stick below the combustion chamber (I remove the lower grate so I can get direct flame onto the briquettes). So far it has worked well! Love the taste you get off of this unit and it cooks pizzas better than my gas bbq. It loses one star for performance due to the cast iron stand handles. If the handles were bent up so the Center of gravity was more balanced while carrying the unit it would receive five stars. With the handles set below Center of gravity it feels top heavy, and a bit tippy if you’re not watching!
