Kamado Joe Jr

Anyone on the board cook with a Kamado Joe Jr? Reading some reviews and a few videos, it seems like I could do a lot of my cooking in one. It’s only me and the Mrs. most of the time.
Already have a Smokey Mountain, Weber Performer I smoke on now FYI. Just wondering if the small one is worth getting or just wait to get a larger Kamado

I started my grilling, smoking with webers, and then expanded my arsenal to offsets, vertical cookers, Primo oval and kamado. After years of working with different types of cookers, I have sold most and am back to my original performer and WSM, and a weber genesis. All served a purpose and I just feel most comfortable with the Weber's. I just prefer the flavor that comes from the way the Weber charcoal grills cook.
So, I've cooked with a ceramic cooker and I think you will find that it will wind up being one or the other as your go to cooker. I was fortunate that I was able to sell all the equipment I had purchased for what I paid for it, or more.

I have always felt a kamado cooker is just a fancy kettle cooker. There is nothing wrong with that if that is what you want, but you don’t gain anything really tangible, like cooking capacity or cooking method, by adding one.

If you have the space and funds, I don't think you can go wrong! I have a good arsenal of cookers, including a couple of KJs. One of those KJs is the Jr. I cook on it at least a couple of times during a week.
It is efficient on charcoal, quick to come up to temperature and plenty of room for a couple steaks, burgers, wings, filets of fish, etc. Also can handle a small-medium size pork butt, a brisket point or flat, or a rack of ribs if you're creative enough.

I have a Primo Jr. as well as a weber kettle for charcoal cooking. I don't smoke much on the Primo because it's really tight for most items. I have a Smokin-It smoker that pulls the smoking duty.

If you're gonna buy a smpker it should be large enough to fit one whole packer brisket or two butts, which the normal size ceramics are. The Jr looks like it intended to grill some chicken or burgers on a weeknight. You already have that function covered with your Performer.

I use the shite out of mine. Everything from pork shoulder to pizza. Family of four and use it almost exclusively. I have the big Joe too.
