Amazing smoker!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been part of the Kamado Joe for 5 years now…first with the classic and now with the Big Joe III and I can't say enough about them! Amazing quality, both in the grill itself and the bbq I'm able to achieve. Would recommend to anyone serious about bbq!!

I'm in love with my Kamado

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first started looking at kamado style grills, I was hesitant because of one brand that is really expensive. It was about that time I discovered the Kamado Joe series and did my homework on them. To say the least, I was quite impressed with everything you can do with these wonderful cookers. Since then, I have grilled, smoked meats and made pizza on mine and it keeps on doing a great job.

Versatile cooking

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the classic joe seris 3 for my birthday last year. Moved up from a pellet smoker and a weber and never looked back. This grill does it all. From burgers and steaks, ribs, brisket, rotisserie chicken, picanha, scallops on the soapstone, it can't be beat. The split cooking system also allows for lots of versatile cooking.

Talk of the Evening When Friends Come Over

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this to replace my original Kamado Joe that I've had for years. Absolutely love it. Not only does it produce the best bbq ever, and pizza, but it is the talk of the night when entertaining friends.

Big Joe Series III wins HANDS DOWN!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used a pellet grill for over a year and it produced good results for me, no shade about that. But, I've looked at Kamado Joe grills for years and I finally got the grill of my bbq dreams - the Big Joe 3. We splurged and picked up the largest version in order to cook many things at once. It's the perfect addition to my outside kitchen as we entertain family and friends. I totally love it. Kamado grills are high quality and they thought of everything! I highly recommend this grill to all my friends and family!

Best Grill - Period

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Classic III about 2 months ago and love it. The online help for recipe's (Kamado Joe website or Youtube Kamado Joe influencers) is great and makes it very easy for a beginner. Every meal has been perfect - I cooked everything = whitefish, smashburgers, seared ribeye's, pizza, rotisserie chicken, beer can chicken.

Love the rotisserie and the flame boss

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this grill in 2018 on the advice of a friend who owns 3 green eggs.😆 He says it's a great grill plus it comes with extra accessories. I was impressed with the lid hinge and how easy it was to lift. My friends grill is heavy to lift the lid. He too was impressed. I cook just about everything on this grill. I love the rotisserie which I use often. I like doing chargrilled oysters when the weather gets cooler. I have always used Weber grills too many to count and will never look back. My wife of 45 years and I absolutely love these Kamado grills.

Premium Quality Komado Experience

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I studied the product offerings in detail for the classic 18" size Classic Joe and I'm thrilled to have purchased the premium series III. Great quality made to last. Could not be more excited to become an expert user.

Totally amazed by this Smoker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not only is the quality of the food amazing, but the prep time and cleanup process is super easy. I use a small amount of charcoal (way less than I used in my old smoker). The fire starts quickly and stays hot the entire time I am smoking. I've had meat smoking for 16 hours and never had to add more charcoal. Keeping the temperature at the recommended level is a lot easier that I thought. By simply adjusting the top and bottom vents it's very easy to hold your desired temperature overnight. These smokers are well worth the money. My Kamado Joe is the highlight of my cooking station. My only regret is not buying one sooner!

Great cooker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my Big Joe! Features are so much better than Green Egg. It is easy to clean, the slider drawer makes it so easy to remove used charcoal. The divider is nice for small cooks and the temperature control is uncanny when the pit is clean. Easy to relight used charcoal. Split grill is very cool. If I would change anything it would be to have some sort of locking mechanism to hold grates in place.
