We have a 10 year old Kamado that we wouldn't trade for the world. We were going thru gas bbq's in about 2 or 3 years. Yes they, ceramic cookers, are expensive, but it has paid for itself many times over. We got the wheels on the Kamado, a # 5 size, and it takes 2 men to get it up and down the stairs, 3 or 4, from the top deck to the bottom, but it wheels nicely.
The kids are jokingly fighting over it when we're gone. They say the first one with a pick up truck and friends to help schlep it, gets it!!

If it broke irreparably we would replace it immediately with a new one.
