I've got this

and dual probe thermometer on order

It was the big green egg that attracted me to the idea of this kind of cooker/smoker/grill but I saw the Kamodo Joe bundle was almost half the price of the egg so went for it.

First drive yesterday

Put together in 10 minutes - hardest thing getting the plastic wrapping off the base.

Lit incredibly easily. Up to temp in about 20 mins. I suspect it may take longer to get to the lower temperatures because the air supply is choked off.

Held its temperature to within 5 degrees C for three hours. Slow roasted/smoked a leg of lamb. Really moist and good flavour.
Then decided to see what VMax was by opening both vents - got to 400 degrees C. Burnt all the food residue to carbon and this flaked off easily.

Thing took a couple of hours to cool down (could probably do a loaf of bread or casserole in it whilst its cooling.

Only used a third of the charcoal and hardly any ash to throw.

I'm a decent cook but never been arsed with barbecuing and never any good at it. Very impressed.

Pizzas tonight!
