I'm not sure how you could say it's not an effective smoker.
Do you know the difference between direct and indirect heat?
In order to smoke well, it needs to be indirect. The Egg is direct, hence mediocre bbq.

i know you aren't talking all this shite without knowing the facts

A deflector plate doesn't change the fact that the coals are still directly under the meat.
Although flame is not transferable through a deflector plate; heat is. Since the heat is still directly below the meat, the finished product friom an egg is usually overdone with less bark.
If they designed an egg to have a massive water pan and more distance between the grill and coals (like weber smokey mountain bullet), you may actually have an argument. But it is poorly designed.
It's simple thermodynamics really.

This.
Works well. Another reason the oval shape is beneficial. Can use a large rectangular disposable pan if you want.

Sounds more legit if you have the water pan

There was nothing burnt about the brisket at all. It was juicy, had a beautiful smoke ring and good bark. Some people simply know how to cook better than others on the Egg.

They are all the same and better than a gas grill. I like my primos because of the shape. 1/2 fire box for smaller smokes or general indirect cooking. Oval shape can fit more full racks of ribs without rolling or cutting. IMO primo > based on shape alone and use of 1/2 the firebox.

It's basically an outdoor oven.

If I was in the market for a Kamado style cooker, I would strongly look at the Weber Summit. Seems to have the best of everything in a Kamado style cooker.
Here is a link to a one year review and comparison to other Kamado's.

Burt, you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. And your understanding of "thermodynamics is quite poor as well.
Also, you don't need a water pan in a joe or egg. Again, know something before you start acting like an expert.

It is. The heat retention properties of a ceramic cooker is far superior to most other outdoor coolers.
Not sure how you translate an egg or joe being an outdoor oven somehow means it's also not a smoker. Doesn't really make sense.
