the one that stuck out to me was the Primo, it felt cheap
I have a Primo XL, my dad has a BGE, and my FIL has a Kamado. I wouldn't trade my Primo for the other two. All three are great but I've cooked on all three and think the Primo is the best.

You mentioned the Looflighter. It gets mixed reviews. I've used one for about 5-10 cooks and have enjoyed it
Mine is still going well after two years

Someone at work showed me a heat gun he got from harbor freight that he uses as a starter.
I was in there and they had a deal for 5 bucks. Haven't used it yet, but figure it's worth 5 bucks to try.

What a wonderful gift. I've had a BGE for ten years. The beauty of this type grill is you can control the heat well and the coals last a long time.
Use lump charcoal
Put a Boston butt on for 12-24 hours at 200. The family will love you.

just had my inaugural smoke on the KJ.
pork belly burnt ends (hey it looked easy and fool proof on YouTube
)
tried it at 250 degrees, at least I thought so, then after 2 hrs, I checked up on it and the temp was at 350 or so.
wtf, definitely gonna have to get my temp settings right.
but overall, I dont think they came out too bad, pretty tasty.
threw some wings on there after

You don't have to open the vents much. My bottom vent is maybe 1/2" open, and my top vent is halfway between closed and the first line.

Get yourself a 2-probe wireless thermometer... you can check the ambient temperature and your meat internal at the same time and see the readings from the comfort of the AC. If it starts getting too hot, choke the vents, if it gets too cool, open them up.
Something like this: Maverick Thermometer

yeah thanks for the rec, i tried to salvage my temp by choking the vents until it cooled to smoking range, and once it did, all went fine.
honestly, i thought the end product came out really well.
gonna buy that maverick now.
