What makes these one better?

The Napoleon is better built than Weber these days. Cast iron grate and adjustable height settings for the grate are a big plus.

And all of the accessories for the Weber fit the Napoleon too.

Ahh ok thanks. I was also looking at the komado Joe line and they look amazing but at 4x more the price and weighs over 100kg...

Bought one of these today for £50, and it's a good size for a 4 person meal. Well constructed too, decent lid. I like the square shape as it's easier to distribute coals to one side to leave a cooler bit on the other side.

They have a round one too (Weber-style) and also a kettle drum.

Is it?

It really is, so easy to use, excellent heat retention, easy to control and huge cooking area. I find myself using very little fuel on long smokes. Don't be fooled it may look similar to a weber kettle but its quite a different beast, basically all the advantages of ceramic kamados without the drawbacks.

I like the idea of it being stainless steel, can see it being more robust than their enamel offerings which possibly chip easier.

As to others talking about cheap BBQ's, you get what you pay for sometimes. I had a cheap one for a few years which rusted, it came with a cover that didn't like rain and just disintegrated.

Buy once and never look back.

If you just use it during the summer only less than 10 times a year then it's not worth it.

However I use to do bbq twice a month minimum and even during winter (best time to do slow roasts)

I even hosted a new years eve party and did a bbq!
 
Just ordered some Kameeldoring and Rooikrans for the summer. Used up the last of our Sekelbos (200kg) so thought I'd try some of the other braai woods. Love cooking with wood.
