Make your friends jealous

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Every party we host at our house, the Big Joe 3 is the star of. Whether it's prime rib or wings on the joetisserie, pizzas with the dojoe, smoked pork or brisket, or just old fashioned burgers and dogs, everyone gathers around the Big Joe III and wishes they had one. Thanks for making the best grill in the world!

Great Grill

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was originally a Christmas gift from my parents when I moved into my first college house. Now it's a staple of my young adult life. Rather it's grilling something for a quick and nice weeknight date night with my girlfriend or a smoking some meat with my friends on the weekend. This grill has been a gathering spot for me and my circle for years and will be for years to come.

Love my Joe Classic III

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had my Joe Classic III for a year and I can't believe how much I use it. I was worried about the firing up time when I switched from gas. It has not been an issue st all. Recently I added the Joetisserie and it has taken my barbecuing to whole another level.

Limitless possibilities

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This grill has replaced more than just my gas grill. It has replaced my oven for many other things. It produces immensely flavorful juicy food. It takes a little more time and patience, but the results speak for themselves. If you are on the fence, just do it.

Wish I'd of bought sooner!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a Kamado Joe classic for my husband for Father's Day this year and it's been nothing short of amazing! The recipes on the website have all turned out delicious! I don't think I'll ever make chicken using any other grill again. We couldn't believe how amazing and juicy it turns out every time!

High buy in but worth the investment

Have had my Classic II for 3 years now and am very satisfied. It has done just about all I have asked of it. Once the temperature is dialed in, it will hold there for hours with no maintenance. It is much easier to cook at high temperatures (>600) than low (<250). I still have not figured that out. The only complaint I have is with the fire ring. They are prone to cracking. I am on my Third one in 3 years, but KJ has been great about replacing it with the lifetime warranty.

Great at making me look like a good cook

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Moved to Texas and was quickly reminded that I needed to know how to bbq. Not just any bbq, a terrible cut of meat that is known to be tough or prone to being dry, a brisket. My Kamado Joe will just not let my brisket get dry, even if I tried. My Joe helps my bbq stand out within our neighborhood bbq community.

Best investment

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this 2 years ago and it still looks and functions like brand new, it has lasted me longer than any other grill I have ever owned in my 73 years on this earth and little did I know that this could possibly be the only appliance that may be left to cook on if the worst case scenario happens.

Very Pleased

I have had the Big Joe III for 3 years. It has served me well form low and slow cooks to high heat searing. The only negative thing I can say is the bad quality of the paint on the side shelves and control tower peeling off. I did have to get a new hinge and I do have some small cracks in the firebox walls. Everything else has worked well.

Awesome Grilling!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 3 Kamado Joe grills and cook on them 3-4 nights a week. I recently purchased the Big Joe III and I am very impressed so far. I mostly do hot and fast cooks like steaks, burgers, and chicken. I am starting to tinker with low and slow cooking and this type of grill is very temperature stable once you learn how to properly adjust the dampers (refer to various videos on Youtube). What I was initially wondering is how long it takes to get this bigger grill up to temp. Surprisingly, it warms up to 500 degrees in about 15-20 minutes, which works great for nightly cooks. Everything on these grills is built super heavy duty. There are some occasional maintenance items that you may need to look after, like the dome gasket, which is available for purchase on their parts site. I have had many types/brands of grills over the years and these are by far my favorite.
