[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this kamado for about a year, it's been amazing so far! First time I ever used a kamado, I burnt it all! But then at my uncle's I was converted from Argentinian grills. I immediately bought one after researching all kamado grills. I knew I had to have a kamado joe and I have loved every second of it. I grill almost every week, whether it's smoking, or cooking, or grilling, I turn that on every weekend. The amount of heat it retains is great and the slo roller definitely infused the meat with a significant amount of smoke.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a few months ago and have cooked on it 3-4 x per week ever since. It takes some time to get used to but once you do you wont get any better food from any other cooker. I highly recommend it. All the available accessories are just cherries on top.

I received the Kamado Joe III as a gift after several years of asks. My first cook, which was a slow cook Prime Rib made converts of wife and family. When I slow cooked Salmon I converted my mother-in-law that never enjoyed salmon until this cook. I look like a pro; we and our guests love the meals prepared. I recommend the Kamado to everyone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this set three years ago and have cooked thousands of pounds of meats of all kinds. Amazing flexibility and quality. Yes, expensive, but if you have the budget go for it! I'd buy it again if I had to. Make sure to have at least 3-4 strong people to place this if it's going to sit on a counter. The size allows me to make large size pizza and breads. Countless benefits and possibilities.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my Big Joe Series III, I use it 2 to 3 times every week. It is so easy to use, once you get the hang of it. My kids were not big red meat eaters before getting the Big Joe, but now they love the Steaks, Brisket, Ribs, and pretty much everything else I cook on this grill.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I own many different smokers and grills. After 6 months of smoking and grilling on my KJ Classic 3 I have one regret, that I didn't buy it sooner! After learning the start up process I love the ease of cooking wings, ribs, steaks, and pork butt. I have only done two briskets and they both came out great compared to my pellet smoker. I have added several accessories to add to the versatile of this amazing cooker. Don't wait, just order it already.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you never cooked or smoked with a kamado joedon't be intimidated. I was a avg. gas griĺler and de ided to buy a classic joe 3 and it has been a life changer for me and the family. I was nervous about the iniitail spend, but the amazing foodyou can make off a kamado is so worth it.
