I had been shopping for a new grill and was looking at pellet grills. When research indicated the smoking on PG's was suspect, I extended my search. I came across the big green egg and Kamado Style. I decided to pull the trigger and bought the Vision Grill Kamado. Best decision!!! First use was with chicken thighs, I didn't have my lava rock deflector however was impressed with the color, texture and smoky flavor. Next was my first brisket, first time Ive ever made one and achieved a smoke ring and dark thick bark. 4 briskets in currently and every one has been better than the last. Burgers, pork ribs, all have been exceptional and enjoyed by the family.

The accessories are nice which normally cost extra on other brands. The Vision is well built with good materials. Holds temperatures well for low smoking temps. Doesn't burn through the hardwood lump and easy to clean up with its built in ash try.

It took me awhile to consider this type of grill due to the price. I was familiar with the Green Egg and when some of these other grills came on the market I began to take an interest in purchasing and researching them more seriously. At this price this grill became my choice. I delivers in every way I could want cooking! It smokes and holds temperature 250 degrees for hours, it sears steaks, and it is a perfect pizza oven! Three cookers in one definitely worth the price! Only drawback would be the cheap wood shelves which lost considerable paint after my first cleanup. I will sand them and refinish them with better paint/stain.

We are still learning the many ways to cook on our Vision Kamado grill, but have had great results so far. This grill is huge! We smoked a 7# chicken and 6 thighs last weekend with a simple rub and everything was juicy and delicious. The smoke flavor was not overpowering and just right. The grill kept its heat for hours! We even did burgers and they were awesome. We highly recommend this grill!

I used gas grills for 23 years and never had the best luck. I could never seem to cook any meat perfectly - usually took burning the outside to get the inside cooked, hot spots, flare ups, etc. But this grill with it's convection style of cooking works perfectly for me. Haven't burned anything yet and everything has been cooked well. And even though I swore in the past that gas vs. charcoal didn't make a difference in taste, it does now. The flavor from using lump charcoal is much better than the gas grill flavor. Although I've never used one of the thousand dollar plus competitors, I feel this grill is perfect for me. Well built with several stainless steel parts for long lasting quality. Only things that I like "less" than a gas grill is the prep and heating time. Dealing with messy charcoal is more of a hassle, and it takes about 20 to 25 minutes from lighting it to cooking temperature ready. But I'm usually prepping the meal at that point so it's not a huge issue. And dealing with the 2 layer grill grates isn't my favorite, a little hard to flip all items when both grates are used. I usually have the top grate off and just use the bottom when possible so there is less mess on the grates. Overall, I love it and won't be going back to gas anytime soon.

My gas grill always cooked to hot, no slow cooking for me. My burgers and steaks didnt really have any better flavor from the gas fire either. With my new Vision Grill I have been slow cooking ribs, pork roast, and ham form the beginning. Controling the temp. or so easy. The flavor of everything is 100% better than any gas grill. Love this Grill !!!!

Heavy item to assemble, takes two people to move or handle. Hard to move across steps ( main body doesn't directly connect with the rolling frame). Fire with lump charcoal is easy to start and holds heat for balanced cooking.. clean out for ashes is a good design and cover is nice to have.

We highly recommend the vision grill. We absolutely love ours. After doing much research, we decided this was the best grill for the price. Although, it is very different than cooking on a regular grill, the food is delicious and moist. We purchased a meat thermometer with interior and exterior reading's and that has greatly helped achieving the perfect cooking times.

After looking at the Green Egg and various other Komodo based grills, I am very happy with this unit. At half the cost it does everything they do and more. I also purchased the gas conversion and it is flawless, easy and accurate on temp control. I grew up with these in a Hawaiian home in the 60's. This unit is as good or better than the original Hibachi units that were 400 lb. Delivery was easy and price is great. Go for it. You wont be disappointed. The results of 12 days of use are epic food every time. Smoke, grill or sear. Its all good.

I ordered this Grill online on August 3rd, and didn't receive it until August 29th. I was under the impression that i would have received the Grill in about a week; a little disappointed in how long it took to ship because the information stated 6 days. Once it arrived, I was worried that it would be damaged given the shape of the outside of the shipping container (box). To my surprise, nothing was broken. I chose the orange color, and I have to say that the finish was "acceptable", but not the quality of the black ones displayed in Sam's Club. It looks like the Grill could have used another coating of "orange color". The finish is someone translucent (not totally solid) and has multiple blemishes on it (in the top front of course, noticeable), but it's not anything I can "live with". Assembly was very straightforward and simple. However, it took longer to remove the adhesive "stickers" on the shelves and the cooking surface than it took to assemble the entire grill and move it to my back porch. The box did not contain a cover like it should have, so I'm dealing with that issue now. I have owned a Weber charcoal grill for 26 years, and there are some differences that I need to make with this grill. I hope this grill holds out as well as the Weber did. I gave this Grill 4 stars instead of 3 because I feel once I adjust, it will be awesome to use and it did arrive without any damage and was easy to assemble. My only concern at this point is will the Grill dolly hold up over time. I would like to get the LP gas insert so I can more easily grill during the Winter months, but am going to wait and see if the price is reduced in the future.
