I am so impressed with the grill. I would recommend lump charcoal. I am using jealous devil for my charcoal.
Now I just need to get the heat deflector to smoke meats on it.
The only complaint I have is how short it is for a 6'3" person. I am in the process of making longer legs for the unit to make my life easier.

You didn't ask me. But yeah you can smoke a ham. This thing is great for all kinds of roasts. You want to Google and read up on smoke. Ideally the smoke coming out the top will have a bluish tint. If it's choked off too much the meat will be covered with an unhealthy burnt woodish tar. The trick is to get the right amount of charcoal in and to get the airflow correct. Since this is insulated it's very efficient with fuel so it will be cheap er than other barbecues as far as charcoal goes. But that also means you need to use a small amount of coal so it gets a low even Heat and again good air flow. Google good smoker smoke or something.
I'm not sure what the best way to get the smoke in there is. probably a metal box with wood chips in it.
smoking is overrated in terms of convenience. I have a Breville toaster oven and I can make a rack of barbecue beef ribs in about 4 hours and about 20 minutes of actual work. I cook them at 270 for about three hours in a foil tent to keep the moisture in. then an hour without the foil because I don't like wet ribs. they're delicious no smoke but I don't miss the smoke so much considering I had a rack of ribs for about $18 from Costco. that said ribs are probably not good for this thing but roasts are oxtail tri-tip are great for this thing too. learn which types of meats are slow cook meats that require about 4 hours to break down the collagen like oxtail brisket chuck roast. and fast cooked meats like tri-tip and chicken.

Buy a smoker, otherwise mooooovveee on!
Why can you not use this for basic heat?? It's a portable grill slash fire pit. If you just want a place to contain fire, it can do that.
I second this but I got mine for 30 😂
Same, went from a normal Akorn, to a KJ Big Joe, and a lot of times, I miss the Akorn. Quicker to heat up and used less charcoal.
Everyone new to the kamado grills has the same problem. Takes a few times to figure it out. You just have to close the vents earlier to bring it up slower. Once it goes too hot, it's near impossible to bring back down.
