[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!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Where do I start. This is by far the best grill I have ever purchased. Nothing short of spectacular. I think that everyone should have the opportunity to cook on the Big Joe. It has a large capacity charcoal basket and cooking surface. The best part is that heats up easily and holds heat extremely well.

I upgraded from a PRIMO XL to the Big Joe Series III last month and have really enjoyed the extra surface area, better freatures, and superior temperature control. I used the Big Joe multiple times a week, and it is great for cooking for my family of eight.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have now had my Big Joe III for 3 years. I can honestly say it's the one stop shop for all your needs. Grilling, Baking, Cooking Pizza, Smoking and so on. Do understand there is a learning curve to these cookers. They can get out of hand while grilling if you are not watching your food or put the right amount of charcoal. I have fed 80ppl easily off of this bbq. Smoked butts over night, grilled during the party and I served all my guest a delicious meal. Remembe, practice makes perfect. If I had one draw back, I would say having to switch out the accessories while cooking can be a big pain at times. Buy some welders gloves to protect your hands and forearms. They work the best out of all the gloves I have used.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So, I was on the edge - should I keep the gas grill, or make the leap. Well. I am now feet first. It took me two cooks to get the charcoal ration correct, but I could not have been more pleased. I have grilled, smoked, seared, rotisseried (is that a word?) The versatility, flavor and results are all the BOMB!! I am a complete and utter convert. I have had gas, pellet and regular charcoal grills in the past. I am a Certified BBQ Judge, former restauranter, and you average Joe. I could not have asked for a better unit for all the attributes. So not hesitate, jump on into the deep end!

There's enough cooking surface to feed a family of 7 or a party of 20. The quality of the grill is enough that requires little to no maintenance. The company is innovative with more accessories than you can imagine with all being functional. If you want to buy a grill and never have to replace then this is for you. The quality allows this to be a generational grill.

My only regret is waiting so long to buy it. I was intimidated and wasn't sure how easy it would be to move from my old pellet grill to the Kamado but the learning curve was simpler than I expected and my family has raved about the flavor of food compared to pellets. Definitely worth the investment.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The size is a bit shocking when arrived. Works great, but takes a bit of use to understand how different it is compared to the classic Joe. The size makes it somewhat difficult to use only half of the surface. overall great purchase once adjusted to fuel use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After smoking on a cheaper kamado style grill for years I decided to upgrade to the Kamado Joe and am thrilled that I did! Assembly was a breeze and while the unit is heavy I was able to easily move it up several stairs to set it up on my deck. The quality is unmatched in terms of features and so far I have had unbelievable results on a variety of different proteins. I am only a couple of weeks into its use but it has been easy to clean, holds temperature very well, and the various features it comes standard with have made cooking a breeze. Highly recommend!

Before owning the Kamado Joe Big Joe III, I had zero experience with grilling or barbecuing. Fast forward four years, and now I'm confidently making everything from wood-fired pizzas to rotisserie chicken—all thanks to the versatility and ease of use this grill offers.

Want to sear a steak at 700°F? Done. Want to slow-cook kabobs on a rotisserie? No problem. Craving a crispy breakfast on a griddle? Easy. Pizza night with a blistered crust and bubbling cheese? It delivers every time. The JoeTisserie kit is perfect for whole chickens and kabobs, while the griddle insert makes some of the best smash burgers and breakfast spreads I've ever had. Beginner-Friendly, Pro-Level Results Even though I was a complete beginner, the Big Joe III made learning simple. It's intuitive, forgiving, and incredibly fun to experiment with. The Air Lift Hinge, Kontrol Tower top vent, and Divide & Conquer® cooking system make managing heat and zones almost foolproof. Built to Last, Built to Shine I've kept my Big Joe III outside for over 4 years, through all kinds of weather. After a good wipe, it still shines like day one. The ceramic body, stainless steel hardware, and heavy-duty components are made to last, and they absolutely do.
