Every little detail is well thought through, love the Kamado Joe Classic III, a we'll put together product. My top favorite features 1) removable ash tray for ease of cleaning, 2) lid hinge system easy to hold in place and feels light weight, 3) well engineerer tower control vent that holds in place when opening/closing the lid, 4) all the accessories that came with it (and sold separately) including sloroller, pizza stones, 5) easy online shopping and on-time delivery (super easy to put together). Since I bought it ~2 months ago I smoked briskets, ribs, baked amazing home made pizzas, cooked beef bourguignon, all came out amazing. Solid 5 stars.

I have been following Kamado Joe for a couple of years. My WSM had become too leaky and it was tough to maintain temps. It's expensive but such a joy to cook with. I've started to rearrange my weekends for my cooks. It's easy to use and very versatile. In the first six weeks I've done the slow and low using the slo roller (tri tip, pork shoulder, brisket), pizza (using the DoJoe at 600°!), and roitisserie (wings and al pastor tacos using the Joetisserie). I can't adequately explain how awesome each of these turned out. I follow some YouTube videos and the rest is easy. I even enjoy cleaning it out! So again, don't hesitate, just buy it!

It's HUGE, and heavy! Extremely well built, and utilizes very good materials. Ensure you have another person with you if you plan on utilizing the stand. It's awkward, and like I said, heavy. You may even do well to have a third person on, “Stand by” just incase you need yet another pair of hands to assist. Finally, the directions on the proper way to place the inserts is less than stellar. I can't tell you how long I attempted to install the inserts until I figured out to utilize the metal ring. The ring not only kept everything in place, but also closed any gaps I was originally running into.

[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.] Love my grill and all the accessories. So easy to use. We spend more time outside now enjoying our evenings grilling.

[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!

I started with a steel kamado, and while it worked ok, nothing replaces ceramic. Temp control, insulation, heat retention, and a sealed environment are the reasons I was interested (along with grilling versatility) and I was not disappointed. It's been a short while but so far this grill can handle everything. I am very happy with my purchase.

The smoker is great. Very dissatisfied with the kontrol top vent. Need to have a stainless option or move to the new design that BGE has

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.
