Kamado grills?

I currently have a medium Big Green Egg. I got it used for $150 at the beginning of Covid and it was the best money I’ve ever spent. Wife and I are now in a house with a much larger deck. We often have family coming over and need something larger to cook on. I’d like an XL Big Green Egg but have looked at Kamado Joe. Any really difference between the two in terms of quality? BGE has been good to me but Kamado Joe seems to offer better value. Just want to make sure Kamado Joes value isn’t to good to be true.

I had an XL and loved it except the hinge design sucks. The hinges needed adjustment every year and replacement every 3. Primos are nice and komodo kamados are really nice if you don't mind dropping some coin.

Look at the Primo Oval XL.

Check out the vision grills also. I love mine. Had it for two years and no issues

Kamado Joe is the way to go. The hinge makes the difference. Great quality.

I have a BGE XL and love it…….4 years now with no issues
The big advantage to the BGE are all the accessories…….the others didn’t have as many options (at least they didn’t back when I purchased).

Absolutely zero difference in quality and Komado Joe's are cheaper and better equipped with accessories, right out of the box. They have a much better designed firebox too.
You can get a large, well equipped Komado Joe at Lowes for instance for 799.
Compared to the KJ, a BGE is a rip off man. It really is.
