You won be disappointed

The Classic Joe III is amazing. As the owner of another brand in the past, th temp control and food has been wonderful. Looking forward to more fine cooks on the Joe.

Best grill I have ever owned.

I love cooking on the Kamado Joe III. Everything has turned out perfectly, from Pork butter, chicken thighs, reverse-seared T-bones and sirloin steaks, to spatchcocked chicken. This grill is crazy easy to adjust and maintain cooking temperatures. The sloroller has me speechless on the quality of my smoked dishes. The quality of the grill and the included accessories are first-rate and are worth the expense, compared to other ceramic grills. I'm ready to buy a second Kamado Joe now!

Third one!

I love my KJBJ3. The first one I received was slightly cracked, it was replaced immediately. My second one recently had a neighbors tree fall on it, as well as demolish a new shed, fence, and dining set. Insurance replaced that one, and there is something to say about the brand and product. I use mine all the time. I referred my neighbors to them, now there are several in the neighborhood(5 as of writing this) and we have cook-offs frequently. I have all the accessories and it is amazing that you can go from a pizza oven, to a rotisserie to smoking in minutes. The versatility and quality are second to none. The way it holds heat, circulates smoke, has an efficient burn and ember, I am a strong believer! Love experimenting with various lump charcoals from KJ's own, to Fogo, to so many more. Buy once, never cry, best investment and couldnt speak highly enough of my KJBJ3.

Friends undersold greatness of kamados

I have to say I am mad at my friends that have a kamado grill they have totally undersold them to me. I had a weber kettle and a weber kettle with a smoking expander ring and the big joe 3 easily replaces both of them. Here are the big things for me personally: 1) Temperature control and even heating inside the grill is amazing so the cooking consistency which results in more evenly cooked food. 2) The ceramic shell retain moister during a cook which seems to keep food from drying out as quick. 3) I personally went with the largest Kamado because I didn't want to lose any cooking area. 4) The family has not complained about any bitter smokey taste on the food whether I am cooking burgers, lasagna, veggies, pizza.... which was not always the case with my kettle. This grill is perfect for how and what I like to cook on a grill. It is very versatile

My only regret is waiting this long

I have used egg smokers in the past and they are my preferred version of smoker. But Komodo Joe makes an egg smoker that's just a cut above the rest. Every single detail is meticulously thought out. It seals better. It holds temperature more consistant. It's more versatile with the multi-shelves. I couldn't be happier with the decision I made

It was an epic job to get my Kamado Joe Classic III. Now that it's here, I couldn't be happier. I really can't find a flaw or negative aspect! It's QUALITY BUILT , and will last a lifetime. I can dial in a temperature and hold it for hours, it's easy! I'm in love!!!

Love the Big Joe

This is the 2nd Big Joe I have purchased in 2 years. We sold our house and the buyer requested my smoker so i decided to buy another once we moved. I absolutely love them. The ceramic is way better than metal smokers, and its simple assembly allows you to smoke day 1. Enjoy.

Tip Top

Our Joe Classic arrived two days before Christmas. So far I have cooked; bone on prime rib, ribeyes, chicken, filet mignon, pizza, smash burgers, pork ribs, round roast, baked potatoes and vegetables. It is hands down the best and most versatile piece of cooking equipment I have owned.

The perfect grill!

I have used many different types of grills over the years and always preferred to use natural woods or charcoals instead of manufactured chips or pellets. I have finally found the "Holy Grail" of grills that allow me to do just that and have incredible control over the temperatures with such versatility. Low and slow or hot and fast. All possible in one unit. While not inexpensive, you get what you pay for!

Sam's Failed Us

Sam's absolutely failed us and the customer service they “provided” was abysmal. I placed this order for shipping and they called the day the item was going to be shipped saying that they were canceling our order because they were unable to coordinate shipping of the item. They gave us a general “don't care not my problem” attitude. The solution they offered us was come pick it up or they were canceling the order. The item was on sale when I purchased it and I lost that sale price. I called the 800 number and they had no clue what to do saying there was no record the store called me and there was nothing they could do because they were not able to see the order was canceled. We're done with Sam's.
