I know a guy that swears by His home made version from an old Hot Water Heater Tank. 2 Cute little chimneys come up where the heating elements used to go in. Resourceful Guy right there.
If you are seriously looking then you need to check out the Kamado Joe, price it out completely then go to Home Depot and check out the visions, see what all you get with it and then compare the pricing. Think you will find the visisions a much better buy. I have looked at all of them over and over and wouldn’t trade my vision for any of them. Have been using mine for 2 years. Have a friend that had the BGE bought a visions to haul in his toy hauler for camping trips. After using it a few times gave the BGE away. The only accessory I had to buy was the ceramic diffuser plate which is worth the money in the long run. I use it every time unless I really want to sear a steak. I put it in after getting fire started and when smoking add 3-4 large chunks of pecan or apple then diffuser plate. I can crank temp down around 225-250 and it will hold for hours. Smoke butts, ribs, and chicken no problem. Crank that dude up and sear and cook a steak in about 15 minutes.
