Thanks! With no Lidl ones around me and most on eBay for £150+, I've actually opted for the Kamado Jr. I ended up getting it for £310. By the time I factor in the heat deflector plate and tongs etc, I was looking closer to £200 for the Lidl one and a risk that it would be damaged in transit via an eBay courier. Also figured if I decided to get a smoker instead, the Joe Jr will definitely hold its value Still nervous I've made the wrong decision but we'll see!

Thanks! I'm mainly looking to smoke some meat in it - beef, pulled pork etc - completely understand about the size restriction, even on the Joe Jr

Sadly, my local Aldi doesn't even have a 'middle-aisle' (central London) and I've never had much luck online going for the special buys! Good to know though, re: the Joe Jr and the Lidl version. Thanks!

Hi all, First time poster here! I'm in the market to buy a Kamado and I've unfortunately missed the boat at Lidl. I've got a Joe JR on order from Amazon for £345 or I can buy an inflated Lidl one on eBay for £150. Being honest, is there much difference between the two - for a beginner at least? Cheers! J
