[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After trying several different types of smokers (propane, electric, etc.) I finally took the dive and bought the classic 3 kamado joe and believe me I have never looked back. I compared this to the large big green egg but it just couldn't stand up to all the features and accessories provided by the KJ all in one package. You can save yourself some time by getting the KJ believe me the BGE just doesn't stand up. Love this thing thinking of getting one of the big Joe's Don't have any pictures of the grill itself but here is a few of the product that was cooked on it. Smoked Meatloaf and smoked turkey breast. Anybody hungry?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have had this in my backyard now for about two years. It weathers harsh New England winters with grace, can rip a full basket for 18 hours straight, and can serve so many functions in an outdoor kitchen with the great attachment ecosystem. Love being part of the KJ family.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had the big joe III for 8 months. I used it at least 3 times a week, I love it. I does everything grill, low and slow smoke and bake. I have the rotisserie attached and it's great. Once you stabilize the grill at the desired temp it's a dream. No temp fluctuations. My stick burner smoker hasn't seen any action since we made our joe part of the family

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have had the classic Joe 3 for a little over 2 years now and am a raving fan. Low maintenance for the most part as I've only had to change the gasket once in that time. Ash removal is pretty simple and giving this thing a deep clean isn't all that tough with some extra charcoal. That said, a full basket of coal will last you through an entire brisket. Cook in the dead of winter if need be.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned my Big Joe for 2.5 years and it has bested my expectations I owned a large Big Green Egg and a Large Vision Kamado grills before relocating and deciding to try a Big Joe. The slow smoker and easier grill positioning features sold me. The slow smoker is beyond fabulous and the grill grates positioning is a huge improvement over my other grills. The top grill hinges are far superior to the Big Green Egg and the cooking area is also superior to both other grills I've owned.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned my Big Joe iii for over 2 years and also have a Traeger ironwood 1300. Big Joe blows the Traeger away when it comes to wanting that smoke flavor. Big Joe is easy to get started and hold the temperature like a charm. The divide and conquer system makes it a breeze to cook the main meal and sides at the same time. Even without using the slow roller, the smoke flavor is by far the best I have ever tasted. All I can say is that I love, love, love this grill!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was tired of the inconsistency and poor quality of my gas smoker and did my research and The Kamado Joe came out on top. My wife picked up one for a Father's Day gift and we love it! I wish the manual had a bit better instructions for use setup, but with some practice we had it down. Accessories have made it even better. Do Joe is the best

Quick to heat and eager to please, look no further for your next grill. Kamado reaches the temperature your looking for in no time and it holds it steady within minutes... The lid opens wide and it with the new springs it holds up without any give. The new top has resisted some pretty tough storms leaving the inside of the grill dry as it can be, and the latch holds everything down with minimum effort. Light it, Grill it, Love it. Bom apetite!
