[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose Kamado Joe because of the reviews being better than competitor brands. It is a beautiful grill and very versatile. I have the full grill and the Rotisserie Kit and our favorite accessory, the pizza oven kit. We get many compliments on this grill and people love the ability to cook pizzas!! It does so much. Smoking brisket, cooking prime rib, and so much more. Great investment for our outdoor kitchen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I started to experiment with a gas grill as a step up from a regular charcoal grill. I thought that this was a little expensive for a grill, but after grilling chicken, various meats, and a Thanksgiving turkey, I realized that it was worth it. I would never go back to using only gas or other grills entirely. Love the way the meat falls off the bones when cooking chicken or turkey, and how the meat is tender and juicy. If a grill could get a Michelin star, this would have at least 3.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me start from the outside and work my way in. The exterior is so stylish: our friends and neighbors are enamored of it from first sight. That scarlet red, that shape, that sense of serious cooking. And as you move in, a great versatility of configurations -- one grill, two; deflectors, separator, drip pan holder. There is no dogmatic aspect to this and you can configure it according to needs and desires. It builds up great heat. We've had it only a few weeks but have used it for great dishes ranging from crusty pizza to perfect steak. I so look forward to getting into it more.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After moving into our new house, we had a built in outdoor kitchen added. We built in our new Kamado Joe Classic III. It's a first time for me with the Kamado Joe, but wow what a difference over my former (Weber) gas grill. The flavor that it imparts just can't be beat. Something about cooking over charcoal that you just can't duplicate with propane. I'm also extremely impressed with how it retains the cooking temperature internally. It's so good, that my wife who likes her steaks well done is extremely happy with the fact they are well done and very juicy. A fine line I couldn't quite get on a gas grill. Burgers, chicken, steaks, veggies, everything so far has been Wonderful. Thank you KJ.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had my Big Joe III since early summer, and it is incredible the amount of food you can cook. For July 4th had 6 slabs of St Louis ribs on, enough for 8 adults and my 6 grandkids. It heats up faster than I would have thought for its size, and the heat retention and temperature stability are a game changer. I have an offset smoker that I have used for years, and while it is awesome it is a labor of love, feeding new wood in every 30 min or so and constantly tending the fire to maintain temp. If all you have to do is sit by the smoker that is fine, but that stopped working for me at least with the grandkids wanting to play and have fun. I can now get the Big Joe to temp in about 15-20 minutes, put on the food, insert a probe and go have fun. Even coming back 2 hours later the Big Joe is sitting nicely at the desired temp, and don't even get me started on how good the food is! So far 3 beer can chickens at same time, amazing, slow roller (yep, comes with the Big Joe III) pork, reverse sear steaks and for this weekend (Labor Day) a pair of Joetisserie chickens are on tap (smaller crowd this time). Clean up is so easy compared to my offset smoker, and the quality of the Kamado Big Joe is superb. Clear instructions for assembly, heavy duty materials, and a terrific design add up to this is a grill that is going to go the distance for me (my offset is 22 years old and still going strong, and I have no doubt the Kamado will still be cooking up great meals for my kids and grandkids when I'm gone. If you like the flavor of food cooked over charcoal and smoke (which should be everyone who has ever compared something from a Kamado to same food from a propane grill) then get on board and join team Kamado! Now if only it came in blue (GO BLUE), yea, I went to U of Michigan and I do have an issue with silver and red (if you know you know). Steve

I decided to bite the bullet about 2 years ago and get my classic 3. I did a ton of research prior to buying one. I watched several YouTube channels including kamado's official channel and I even did research on some of the major competitors like the green egg. In my opinion, the kamado joe is just a superior grilling experience. There is a learning curve, as with all grills, but with the kamado joe you are truly only limited by your own patience and skills. I've smoked and prepared a ton of food items. Some of my foods include ribs, brisket, fajitas, steaks, burgers, snapper, salmon, pancakes, chicken wings, thighs, whole chickens and turkeys. Where I feel kamado beats there competition is in the accessories. There truly is an accessory for anything you can think of. And it holds its temperature perfectly for hours upon hours once you learn how to build the right fire. And yes it was expensive but you get what you pay for and I've actually saved money in the long run because I've been cooking my own meals a lot more since I purchased my kamado joe instead of eating out. It's also nice knowing exactly how much sodium or other ingredients are in my food since I'm preparing it myself. It's also much easier to clean than previous grills that I've owned. If you are thinking about buying one think of it more like a long term investment that can literally last a lifetime.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I spent a lot of time researching the different Kamado grills and I finally settled on the Kamado Joe Classic III. I have not been disappointed thus far. I have used it several times over the past month and I am very happy with the results. I love the various cooking methods that you can use on the grill as well as the numerous accessories available to fine tune and customize your cook. The only downside thus far is the fact that my other grills are collecting dust.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been using the Classic III for almost five years now. Use it for everything from brisket or ribs for a longer smote to smash burgers on the cast iron half-moon accessories. I also cook the bacon on the cast iron...fantastic results. (bonus -it keeps the bacon smell out of the house) Love the high-temp searing on the grill for a quick steak.. The ease of temp control is fantastic when compared to the side smoters I had previously.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cooking on the Kamado is so awsome. Get the coals up to 350. Put on king crab legs. Bast with butter. Flip every so often. The meat has such a nice Smokey taste. I did a 3 way taste test. Boil, oven or Kamado. Hands down Joe won. Made me take the rest an smoke on the Joe before they would eat.

I love my Kamado Joe, it makes the perfect meals every time !
