Kamado Joe JOE JR — $450, previously $499
If you’re looking to step up your game in the world of charcoal grilling, this Joe Jr from Kamado Joe is perfect.

You get a reasonably large grill diameter of 13.5 inches, which should be enough to fit six or seven large burger patties, while the top allows you to adjust the level of heat you put inside the grill. The only real downside is that it’s a little low, so you’ll have to bend over a lot, and if you have back problems, that could be an issue.
