Swapped my offset for a ceramic last spring and found my sweet spot

Used to babysit my stick burner for 12 hours straight on brisket cooks, always fighting temperature swings. Picked up a Kamado Joe at a garage sale for $150 and finally got consistent bark without losing sleep. Anyone else ditch their fire management headaches for a ceramic rig?

Oh come on, you're telling me a ceramic cooker is actually better? I've seen those things turn into expensive paperweights when the gaskets go bad and the ceramic cracks from a little rain. I'll take my $200 offset that I can fix with a welder and some firebrick any day. Plus, nothing beats that real smoke flavor you get from babysitting a fire all night - that's the whole point of barbecue, isn't it?

Have you actually tried a ceramic yourself?
