I've a Joe Jr that I've had for just over a year. Have only had chance to do three low and slow cooks (smallish cuts - 2 pork butt, 1 brisket) due to work constraints but used it a lot more for general grilling. I've just been using generic lumpwood and for one of the low and slows added in some wood chips I bought. Looking forward to being able to put more time into it this summer and start learning the ins and outs properly.

I tried to pick up the Lidl Kamado too but the shipments never reached the local stores near me (even in the later deliveries). Would still like to get one as a back up though so will keep my eyes peeled.

Dalry (North Ayrshire) still have a few available. Not sure of your location but just incase your local. 

Just wondering what the views are on the heat defector from YNNI. I saw a few posts of guys ordering last year and wondered if worth getting.

They are out today in the stores that didn’t get them in on Thursday. Just picked one up. What charcoal is most people using for these. 

Total newbie to this. Always enjoy slow cooking in oven and slow cooker. Bought Lidl mini Kamado this morning and the research begins. Apologies up front for any silly questions but I’ll ask anyway 👍
