Score: 80/100Rankings

The Kamado Joe Classic is a ceramic 18-inch grill delivering a generous 250 sq in cooking surface and excellent heat retention. Its substantial weight and lack of portability make it better suited for a permanent backyard setup. Best for serious grill enthusiasts who prioritize performance over mobility.

The Napoleon PRO605CSS is a professional-grade charcoal grill with a massive cooking surface and durable stainless-steel build. Its heavyweight and lack of wheels make it less portable. Ideal for serious backyard chefs who prioritize performance over mobility.
