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!

Best design our there for small Kamado

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 :-)

I am still experimenting with cooking different foods on the grill. The one drawback is that mine takes about 3 hours to get hot enough to grill. The first time I tried it (for hamburgers,) it wasn’t quite hot enough. Burgers did not taste great! So, if you get one, plan accordingly!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great when something isn’t broken

Love this thing when parts aren’t broken. I had to replace my fire box with in a month or two of purchase, the plastic shelves randomly break when not in use, my top ring that holds the entire top to the hinge was just broken one morning when we came out of the house. I have waited months for replacement rings only to get the wrong ones and I also noticed while removing my broken rings that the top ring and fire box are again broken looks like a jig saw puzzle inside. I am the only one to have these issues? Or are they all just junk???? Starting to wish I had purchased a big green egg instead
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bought one of the JRs to put on a balcony since we have all of the bigger grills on the deck. Well, it’s the best grill you will ever have. Hands down. In fact, I immediately bought another one for the balcony to use for pizza and tailgate parties. . My next house I will absolutely get the biggest one they make. . The pizza iis freakin amazing. Had many many grills over the years and nothing compare to this one.

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!
