GS1397 Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Hey Guys, I currently have a Vision Diamond cut from Sams that I use frequently. However, I am wanting more grilling space so I am looking hard at a big Joe. What I am struggling with is the almost 1K diff in cost. I use a KAB now and totally get why they are popular, so I'd want to get either one of those or a KJ one. The question I have is the slo roller worth the $$$. I have smoked many butts, ribs, etc. on my vision just using the deflector plates I have with great results. Does the slo roller make that much difference? TIA.

jark87 Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Do I believe that the SloRoller provides more even heat distribution than deflector plates? Yes. Does it make a difference in results? Not that I can tell. Would I pay extra for it? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKOBBQ Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 I would pay the extra for the depth in the III compared to the II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the 3 looks longer than the 2 but i've never seen them side by side; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKOBBQ Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 My only thoughts on this are a visual comparison at my local dealer. I feel the added teir in the divide and conquer along with the included charcoal basket and the hyperbolic insert would sway me towards the higher price. Buy once, cry once.
