[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought it 2 months ago and I already used it for pizza (with the dojoe accessory), smoking brisket (with the included slo-roller accessory) and grilling direct/indirect all kinds of meat. This thing can do it all and feed my entire family and friends easily. Heat is extremely stable on low and slow cooks and can go much higher than what my previous kettle BBQ could ever do. Highly recommend

Very good product, I used it 10 times already and very satisfied

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The big joe working as expected no issues with assembly or the first few cooks. Lots to learn as it's different then traditional grills but thats part of the fun!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love my grill and all the accessories. So easy to use. We spend more time outside now enjoying our evenings grilling.

Some of the best lessons I ever learned came standing next to my dad at the grill. He had this beer‑chicken recipe he never wrote down, just a rhythm and instinct you only learn by watching. That’s where my love for live‑fire cooking started. As I got older, I pushed myself to try new styles, new fuels, new techniques — and eventually found my way into competitions, community cooks, and now helping plan grilling events for families across our area. Today I cook on a Big Joe III, Classic II, and my Joe Jr, and every time I light charcoal I’m reminded that what Dad passed down wasn’t just a recipe — it was a way of bringing people together. That’s why we are Fireborn. Because the flame doesn’t start at the grill… it starts with the people who taught us. #DadsGrillLegacy @KamadoJoe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love my Classic III! It is by far the best smoker I have purchased. The versatility and ease of use is great!

We have owned the Classic Joe 2 for many years now. One of the best “food” investments we have made. We’ve done lots of experimenting and will tell you that the tri tip smoked using a certain TV personalities’s rub is the bomb! We use predominantly wood for the fuel source now. We still have some lump charcoal but wood is our preferred fuel now. We have the Joe Tisourie (sp), the Joe Dough, and the Smoker attachments. Love this thing!

My first Big Joe was bought by the buyers of our previous house last summer so I was without a smoker for most of the fall. Bought the BJ III bundle with cover and 2 bags of lump charcoal so I’m back in business! The large grill surface is being put to good use as I am writing this with a beef brisket flat, a couple of pieces of pork shoulder and several beef short ribs.

great but price is obscene! Served in the USN in Japan in the mid 60s and the original vesrsion of this was very popular called Mushi Kamado--- the did not have many bells and whistles but they were absolutely great- ,,,AND COST $7-8 BUCKS!!!!

Sam’s absolutely failed us and the customer service they “provided” was abysmal. I placed this order for shipping and they called the day the item was going to be shipped saying that they were canceling our order because they were unable to coordinate shipping of the item. They gave us a general “don’t care not my problem” attitude. The solution they offered us was come pick it up or they were canceling the order. The item was on sale when I purchased it and I lost that sale price. I called the 800 number and they had no clue what to do saying there was no record the store called me and there was nothing they could do because they were not able to see the order was canceled. We’re done with Sam’s.
