Worth the money

I was a huge Traeger fan and skeptical on adding the Joe to my cooking station. I am beyond impressed and glad I spent the money. The best part is the rotisserie option!!!

The Way to Go! ...Let's Go!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my pick! Its a much bigger cooking surface, which is nice to have when people come over or have a growing family. You'll want the grill to deliver and feed the people.

Great overall Grill

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had this Grill for a while and the Family has been loving all of the meals. The consistency in temps and the taste of food with lump charcoal can't be beat!

Rollin Rollin Rollin Keep that Smoke a Rollin KJ

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my Kamado Joe Classic III 2 years ago WOW what a way to step up your game in the world of smoking. I went with the Classic III because of the accessories that came with it. The sloroller, 3-Tier Divide & Conquer Cooking System,Stainless Steel Charcoal Basket with the 1/2 basket separator. I now have control over all of my cooking / Smoking all on my Kamado Joe Classic III at 3 different levels of heat, This makes everything simple. I have added the Pizza DoJoe & Joetisserie to expand everything I can do with my Kamado Joe Classic III

Great kamado, no assembly or use instructions

Great kamado. Great build quilt. Very high quality materials all around. Biggest complaint — the user manual is nearly useless. It's is about 250 pages, but doesn't even tell you how to put the grill together. 6 pages of some unhelpful drawings, with no assembly instructions. The remaining 244 pages are the same drawings, in different languages (but almost no words. Really bizarre). I literally had to use YouTube for assembly instructions. The manual does not even tell you how to use the various accessories, nor how to install them. Also, the installation of the ceramic “petals” in the fire box is super janky, They don't really fit together well, so all of the assemblies on top of the fire box are unstable and wiggle around when cooking. After I tho0ught I was done i had left over parts and no idea what they were for. In hindsight, assembly is involved but not terrible. I spent more time watching YouTube videos.

What an incredible grill

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've always been a charcoal guy but this is my first ceramic grill and I adore it - from grilling to using the slo-roller to smoke its so versatile and delivers on every thing I put on there. Did a 33lbs turkey spatchcocked for thanksgiving. Plus is looks great in the yard too

Wow, Just Wow!

I purchased a propane grill this year, hated that it didn't have the charcoal taste so I purchased a cheaper charcoal grill and I was happy to get that smoked flavor back. I gave away the propane grill then purchased the Big Joe III. Oh my God! This baby holds the heat, steadily over a extended period of time. I grilled a baby back rib and chicken wingettes for my wife and the food turned out super delicious. I love it so much, I just purchased a Classic I to replace my cheaper charcoal grill. I am sold and now I will have two Kamado Joes to grill accordingly.

Awesome ....

I bought this last fall. KJ is addicting ... pizza perfect ... rotisserie ... perfect .... smoking perfect ... with the ikammad it will be ready for cooking in about same time as a gas grill. The flat cast iron grate. Additional cast iron pots make the uses endless... my 2 gas grills moved on to other homes this is all you need. Uses very little fuel, love the ash bucket, all the extra items that came with that were extras on the bge... was very much worth every penny. My other half tells everybody nothing has gone on there that has not come out perfect... he even eats veggies now. Overall i love it... did i mention the top is very easy to open and close ... i am older and not so strong.

Best Gift Ever Received

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A very Happy Husband here. My wife bought this as a Birthday gift now 2 years ago. I have not gone one weekend without firing up my Joe III! I have learned to smoke all kinds of meats, and have become that "grill dad". The immense heat that can be built in this thing is amazing. Steakhouse searing for the ribeyes and strips, low and slow for pork butts, and the cast iron plate for smash burgers and seafoods. There is nothing negative to say about the grill, it is used every weekend, heck I even made bread and pizza during Covid days. I hear people say, "oh you have the expensive grill" well the price is paid back at the value and quality of the build and results of amazing foods! I even have gone as far as become a gardener and make smoked peppers and salsa, again, unless possibilities and I LOVE my Kamado Joe almost as much as the person who bought it for me. ;-) Happy Spouse Happy House lol
