I've got the bug for a Kamado grill, my primary draw at the moment is to smoke some meat which I've never really done. Just got a family of 3 and we're not huge smoked meat fans or anything but want to give it a go.
My gut tells me that the Classic II would be adequate but don't want buyers remorse for not stepping up to a Big Joe II but at the same time the BJ is about 60% more so the increase isn't small.
Here's what I would likely cook at a time, each line would be a meal, not all of them simultaneously.
1 Brisket
3 Racks ribs
2 full chickens
