    If I had thought that the higher priced item was better I would have bought a MiniMax rather than the KJ Jr. I looked at both but decided to go with the KJ Jr. because not only was it significantly cheaper it is also better made. Plus, I didn't really care if the colors of my kamados didn't match. :)


    Wait wuuut?  I have a bge, but for my 2nd kamado got a KJ because they were more generous with the included accessories, better price, and better warranty (dual KJ warranty  and Costco guarantee).   But the bge is slightly of better construction. Just IMHO

    Here is verse #3 of the RTIC jingle that I have been working on.  

    Yeti Land. Performed by SGH.
    In my very best Elvis Presley voice........


    Oh I wish I was.........in the land of Yeti......
    Where fools line up......with their money ready......
    Look away.....look away........Yeti land.......

    Yeti land......is where I make my stand.....
    To live and die.....,like a fool in Yeti land.....
    Look away.....look away......Yeti land........
    Yeti took all my money..........because I was a fool living in Yeti land............

    Glory, glory.....hallelujah...........
    My God.........Yeti really fooled you..........
    Glory, glory.....hallelujah............
    My God..........Yeti really fooled you........

    But the fools keep marching on..........
    Yes the Yeti fools keep marching on........

    So hush.....little baby.......don't you cry........
    You know that Yeti.......was bound to die...........
    You ask yourself........but o lord why.........
    Because RTIC draws nigh.........

    Glory.........glory............hallelujah..............
    Yeti really fooled you.........
    Glory.........glory............hallelujah.............
    You know that Yeti will sue you...............
    Glory........ glory.............hallelujah........
    Yes Yeti really fooled you...........

    Look away........look away........Yeti land.............
    To make my stand........just like a fool............in Yeti land..............
    In Yeti land..................I die a fool..........not a man............
    Look away............my God look away..........Yeti land...........
    For all the fools...........stuck in Yeti land..........

    The above song is based loosely on An American Trilogy performed by the late, great Elvis Presley. I think that he would be pleased with my performance.

    He would have a Yeti collection in his Yeti Room at Graceland and be ashamed of your blasphemous lyrics.

    I see some influences there...Elvis would want a Quaalude as he would be confused about the snow monster Yeti.  But good job my fiend.  BTW, I'm booking two stalls at the crawfish competition.  You better make it!

    I know some of the main guys that run this thing, and know them well. We can get whatever we want if we put our requests in early.  Within reason

    Two stalls side by side and the Hooter girls next to us again.  That's my only requests.

    SGH can you confirm that my Yeti 65 will fit in the RTIC 65 before I order the RTIC?

    Absolutley I can confirm that. This is yet another way that Yeti suckers you. They pretend to be selling you a particular size but in reality it's much smaller. This is part of their slogan: Less for more.

    If this is a serious question^^^^^^^^^^
    To be honest I don't know. My Yeti is a 55, not a 65 so I couldn't really tell you. If you we're asking a honest question, then my apologies for the response before this one.

    The Yeti 30oz cups are great. I have a few of the can holders as well. They work great as well. My Yeti 55 stays in my Avalance at all times. Thus far, it has filled a particular need well. For clarity, I bash Yeti just to stir folks up. It amazes me that with all the Yeti posts that I have done, and everyone knows I own Yeti products, that I can still stir up a $hit storm by writing a Yeti song or two. I do the same thing with the democrats. It's just for fun. No harm no foul if you will. Above you said you were getting 5 Yetis.  I highly recommend that you give the 55 a look. It has extra depth which has been most useful at times.

    While we are on the subject, what did you think of my songs? Do I have a smash hit or not ;)

    Thanks brother Double. I actually have a tremendous singing voice. I can mimic brother Presley pretty darn good, or so I have been told. Honest question, do you think my song has potential to be the RTIC theme song?

    Too much Yeti bashing and not enough props for RTIC to be a theme song IMHO. 

    "R.T.I.C. It's the cooler for me" is kinda catchy...
