[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nothing better! After hearing my buddies rave about Kamado cooking I bought a Classic 3. The past few months we've used it at least once a week. Last night's spatchcock chicken with salmon appetizer was a hit with my picky 5y/o and more picky wife. Honestly everything I've cooked on the KJ has been some of the best food we've prepared at home and rivals local restaurants. There's no shortage of recipes and tips online through the community. The Classic 3 has some awesome features between air hinge, lid clasp, mesh gasket, upgraded cart, and the slo roller. Really an awesome value compared to other options on the market. It just feels premium. Grab one and get outside!

I purchased a propane grill this year, hated that it didn't have the charcoal taste so I purchased a cheaper charcoal grill and I was happy to get that smoked flavor back. I gave away the propane grill then purchased the Big Joe III. Oh my God! This baby holds the heat, steadily over a extended period of time. I grilled a baby back rib and chicken wingettes for my wife and the food turned out super delicious. I love it so much, I just purchased a Classic I to replace my cheaper charcoal grill. I am sold and now I will have two Kamado Joes to grill accordingly.

Purchased our Classic Joe series 3 at start of Nov 24. Always owned gas bbq's and have a gas stove in kitchen. Convenience of gas is unbeatable but when it comes to flavor, the Kamado Joe wins hands down. So far have cooked chicken, tomahawks, brisket, leg of lamb and veg all turned out better than expected for first attempts. Added a pizza stone today and had a crack at homemade pizza. Everyone wanted more but ran out of dough. Enjoying the learning experience and there's plenty of beginner tutorials online. If you know how to start a fire you can use a Kamado Joe. Once you get the hang of controlling the temperature and wait for it to fully heat up before starting to cook it's worth the effort. Can't beat the taste of food cooked over hot charcoal.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm hitting 3 years now and I can truly say this smoker changed my life. I used to stay away from BBQ at home because I was so bad at it. I didn't realize I was using the wrong smoker. The Kamado Joe Big Joe has made me the envy of of my friends and neighbors. I cook everything on this. Ribs, brisket, chicken, turkey, fish, pizza and more! I even cold smoke salmon on it. Once you learn the nuances of kamado style cooking you can smoke like the pros.

I purchased my Classic Joe III with Joe tisserie and half moon soapstone several years ago and am supremely satisfied. This grill and the accessories deliver every time and help me to produce food that wows all of our guests. From smoking brisket, chuck roast, pork butts, meatloaf to using the rotisserie for roaster chicken or picanha, to grilling fish, burgers, vegetables, etc., there is nothing this product can't do. I have family and friends that have Green Eggs, and while that is a fine product, in my opinion it doesn't hold a candle to the Kamodo Joe and the amazing accessories. Very well done, Kamodo Joe; keep innovating, keep the products coming, and keep "grilling" your competitors!!

Great kamado. Great build quilt. Very high quality materials all around. Biggest complaint — the user manual is nearly useless. It's is about 250 pages, but doesn't even tell you how to put the grill together. 6 pages of some unhelpful drawings, with no assembly instructions. The remaining 244 pages are the same drawings, in different languages (but almost no words. Really bizarre). I literally had to use YouTube for assembly instructions. The manual does not even tell you how to use the various accessories, nor how to install them. Also, the installation of the ceramic “petals” in the fire box is super janky, They don't really fit together well, so all of the assemblies on top of the fire box are unstable and wiggle around when cooking. After I tho0ught I was done i had left over parts and no idea what they were for. In hindsight, assembly is involved but not terrible. I spent more time watching YouTube videos.

I bought this grill last year, and it is amazing. Everything that has come off the grill has exceptional taste. TOP OF THE LINE. However the top vent is flawed works great when it is new but eventually, it's almost impossible to open until the grill gets warm. Just the other day I tried cleaning the top vent with degreaser, and the paint has started to flake off. But the grill itself is fantastic

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this grill, I call it the Cadillac bc of how smooth and easy it is to run. Ive never had a grill that was truly this easy. It honestly runs itself once you get your target temp set up which is pretty easy to do. Ive cooked countless meals on this KJC3, both hot & fast and long slow cooks. And while accessories are not needed to put on the table an excellent beautifully cooked meal the accessories are full of fun too. You just can't beat the value you get.

I bought this last fall. KJ is addicting ... pizza perfect ... rotisserie ... perfect .... smoking perfect ... with the ikammad it will be ready for cooking in about same time as a gas grill. The flat cast iron grate. Additional cast iron pots make the uses endless... my 2 gas grills moved on to other homes this is all you need. Uses very little fuel, love the ash bucket, all the extra items that came with that were extras on the bge... was very much worth every penny. My other half tells everybody nothing has gone on there that has not come out perfect... he even eats veggies now. Overall i love it... did i mention the top is very easy to open and close ... i am older and not so strong.

I've owned the classic 3 for two years, and I absolutely love it. The more I cook with it, the more I appreciate all it can achieve. And the couple times I've had issues, the support team has gone above and beyond to help me out. I highly recommend it
