Hi Barstonlita,
I was stuck for months between the kamado Joe Classic 2, Classic 3 and the Monolith Pro series 1.0 bbq edition...in the end I went with the Monolith, but it was almost at the flip of a coin lol👍
As for the problem of why its "needed" in life I can say that I was eventually successful haha😂🤣😂
