We bought the BigJoe III just over a year ago and picked up one of these courtesy of a previous SD post. We use the Big Joe III for big cookouts (10+ people) or for large low-and-slow meals like full briskets (just finished a trimmed 16 lb Wagyu). For everything else, this KJ Junior is our go-to. Burgers for 6? Done. 2x 3-lb ribeyes? Done. 4-5 NY strip? Done. The grill uses significantly less charcoal and response to vent changes much faster with regards to temperature.
Pro-tip:
1. KJ/Kickash charcoal basket helpful for managing charcoal/ash in a similar manner to the 18 and 24" versions of this grill
2. Get the Ikea Bror utility cart; use a jigsaw to make yourself a $130 stand: https://www.reddit.com/r/KamadoJo...our_

4. Big block charcoal can be a bit big for this... Jealous Devil is what I primarily use now
I can fit a whole chicken or small turkey in it.
4 large burgers is no problem.
I definitely want a bigger grill, but its ok for 4 people.
It would be better if I could make a large pizza.
It was $335 through walmart after tax.

Seems like a good deal but it does look a bit small. Anyone us a KJ of this size before and have thoughts?

As for the Jr, it's a searing monster and good for smaller cooks. Can't do a full packer but several burgers, steaks, whole chicken, 9-10 thighs, and the like it'll do without too much an issue. And seems a lot more miserly when it comes to charcoal than its larger brothers. If it's your only grill, it'll probably be a bit small for a family.. But as a complementary one it's superb.
Heats up ridiculously fast too so it's a good weekday 'I just got home and need to fire up the grill' grill.

Another note, is that having had 5 kamados (green egg, acorn and vision grill) , the small Joe is my least favorite. It has plastic handle (looks cheap but last longer than wood), the paint on the chimney flakes (none of the others did that) and in its third year, my Joe lid cracked (I did not move it so it must be thermal shock) . I can still use it but it should not have happened.
Edit: also the Joe came broken, poorly packed. May be that changed since. I paid 450 on amazon, some 3 years ago (so 299 is a great deal I think) . The seller sent replacement for the broken handle and the broken firebox. My first vision grill came also broken and they sent me a second one while letting me keep the cracked but functional one.
