if you're not that keen on doing any of the "cooler" stuff with it then i'd say it's going to end up being a bit of a waste of money when a cheap kettle bbq will probably be just as serviceable for your needs.
but if you prefer to cook with a bit more precision and have the patience to get the hang of setting the vents to control the temperature and cooking direct/indirectly with the heat reflector to achieve different things then it's going to be nicer to cook on even if it's just sainsburys bbq range prepacked stuff you're having as it feels more like cooking on a proper appliance than just a big pile of fire.
it's also pretty easy to maintain, when you want to cook just push the leftover coals around to knock all the ash down through the ash grate to the bottom then scrape it out into a pan and stick in a bin, chuck a couple more coals on top add a woolie fire lighter or two and a flame and you're off to the races.

I find it easier to light and it's more consistant than a kettle BBQ, no reason to not use it just for traditional burgers and sausages apart from the higher price

To all of you Kamado owners - how good are they? From a lot of the posts on here they seem like a labour of love. Are they any good for a traditional family evening bbq?
My wife really wants one for some reason (even though I do all of the cooking in our house). I am not sure how many times I would do a slow roast joint on it, our bbqs usually consist of 30 mins or so of cooking and standard chicken, lamb, pork etc. Would it be an overkill?
