I did look a Kettles, but it seemed like the Kamado was better for the low and slow 8-12 cook, without need for much intervention. I guess the short term ones are due to using cheaper materials, so eventually they will give up, unlike the KJ and BGE with their lifetime warranties.

I have a Weber it's an amazing BBQ very versatile and will last forever it seems - I bought this as an addition so that I can smoke low and slow and also do grilling at same time for larger gatherings.

I was going to get a Weber Smokey Mountain (or pro q/Rosle) but I thought accessing the lower vents would be  a pain

The Kamado seems to tick all the boxes for me

I ordered mine 28th April and it arrived today there is a superficial scratch on the enamel, you have to look to see it otherwise it's great

It was very easy to assemble and I managed to get it into base by myself - but it was a close run thing 

I'm burning it in just now been stable at 250F for about 90 mins so far, haven't put a massive amount of lumpwood in
