A grillers delight!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased my big Joe about a year ago. I have cooked smoked baked pretty much anything you can think of especially like cooking. Homemade pizzas in the Joe. Quality is second to none as I have maintained a 225° cook for over 20 hours without adding additional coals. Product is well worth the investment!!

Game Changer for Outdoor Cooking!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Living in Alaska, I've had the pleasure of using the Kamado Joe Classic III, and I can't say enough good things about it! This grill has truly elevated my outdoor cooking game. I've cooked a variety of dishes, including mouth-watering brisket, delicious pizzas, tender pork shoulder, impressive tomahawk steaks, and whole chickens that turn out juicy every time. One of the standout features of the Kamado Joe Classic III is the exceptional flavor that comes from using lump charcoal. Unlike electric smokers, the lump charcoal imparts a rich, smoky taste to the food that simply can't be replicated. With the various accessories available, like the plate setter for indirect cooking and the baking stone for perfect pizzas, I can experiment and create elevated flavors and tenderness in nearly any dish. The versatility of this grill has me excited to experiment with even more recipes in the future! If you're looking for a high-quality, multi-functional grill, the Kamado Joe Classic III is an investment worth making. I can't wait to continue my grilling adventures with it!

Love this grill!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this grill. We do a lot of steaks and this grill gives them such a good flavor. Everyone always asks me to cook because they love the flavor of the food. I really only use it as a bbq grill and not a smoker with the accessories.

Kamado Joe - Classic Joe - Series II

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This grill has exceeded all my expectations. It is very versatile whether you are smoking something for 12+ hours or cooking something quick. The grill hold temperature great for longer cooking sessions and is easy to control the temperatures by adjusting the air flow slots. Everything that is cooked on this grill has great taste and the different types of grates/accessories that you can buy can basically make it the only grill that you need in your out door kitchen. Additionally the build quality of the grill is great. I've cooked on my grill for the last 4 years and haven't had any issues. One last thing that I really enjoy about the Kamado Joe is that it comes with everything you need when you buy it and the hydraulic assisted lid makes it very easy to open and shut the grill.

Classic Joe III

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great value as compared to BGE. We use our KJ at least 4 nights per week grilling chicken, salmon, pork tenderloin, and others. Weekends are great for smoking a butt or shoulder, or ribs. Food tastes fantastic. They stand by their product too. I just had two pieces down in the bottom replaced under warranty due to cracks. No questions asked.

Great Grill

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had my KJ for a few months. I chose the classic 3 because of the accessories. The accessories and better stand are worth the money. The grill is quality made. I really like the gasket versus other kamodo style grills. The air hinge makes opening the grill easy. Great Kamado grill fro. Great price.

Your family and friends will love you

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I did so much research on the smoker I wanted to buy. And after 3 years I'd have to say it's probably one of my best purchases. It's paid for itself because now we don't go out to eat. And if we do I never get the high dollar steak because it's never as big or good as what I can make for a fraction of the price. If you don't get the big Joe you'll wish you did later. Check out chef Eric Gephart and you'll be a pro in no time!

Game-Changer Grill – Worth Every Penny!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased the Kamado Joe Classic III, and I couldn't be more impressed. Before this, I used a gravity-feed charcoal grill, but the Classic III is simply in a league of its own. The craftsmanship, design, and overall quality far exceed any grill I've ever owned. The SloRoller is a complete game-changer. It has taken my smoking results to a whole new level. The very first brisket I cooked on my Classic Joe turned out to be the best I've ever made — incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. Setup was a breeze, from unboxing to lighting the first fire. The packaging is secure, and everything about the process reflects Kamado Joe's attention to detail. Overall, this is a tremendous product, and I would recommend it to anyone — whether you're a weekend griller, a low-and-slow smoker, or a BBQ enthusiast looking to elevate your cooking.

Great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this a few years now. I've used it for grilling, smoking, frying etc. It performa well with it all. I've had can smokers, offsets but this is one of the easiest smokers to manage as a busy individual. Typically I like to say use the right tool for the job as multi tools are always only okay. In the case of the big Joe I don't feel like you suffer once you dial in your process.
