• Not sure if you've considered this already, but I would be looking at the Masterbuilt kamado. I think Masterbuilt bought Kamado Joe and started selling the Classic II in black, but with Masterbuilt branding. I don't know if there are any differences other than the colour, but it's significantly cheaper. Here it is for £699

    Ah hold up I just realised it's the Classic 1 that it's a clone of, not the 2.

    It's still a bit cheaper than the Classic 1, but I'm pretty sold on the airlift hinge.

  • Honestly, I agree with @gingerchris. You'd be better off buying the masterbuilt and buying a temp control system with the savings (you'll still have money left over as well.) But if you've got the £££ then go for it, definitely won't be a bad purchase either way.
