Love this grill

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a Joe Konnected, and this great is just as amazing. I have mostly used it to start getting into smoking with the new Sloroller and have found it quite enjoyable. The extra layer system for the divide and conquer has also made it a lot easier for me to grill veggies ,and vegetarian proteins, and meats, at the same time without having to start them separately. This has saved me a lot of time and pairing it with cooking with my Konnected has allowed me to grill a traditional simple meal while also trying new and more elaborate recipes.

Great quality inside and out!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Classic Joe III this summer to replace my previous Classic Joe I that I had for 15 years. My Classic Joe I was in need of repairs after being blown over in a wind storm, and I used some gift cards from my company to purchase the new Classic III. I love the new charcoal basket, the lift mechanism, and the new deluxe stand. These upgrades have made my cooking event even better and the results have been outstanding.

amazing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this grill for three months now, and I can confidently say it is the finest grill I have ever owned. It transforms every cut of meat into a masterpiece, cooking them to perfection with tantalizing flavors and incredible juiciness that dance on the palate. Each bite is a delightful experience that leaves you craving more.

Outstanding Cooking Tool

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I spent a few months researching BGE and Kamado Joe as an upgrade to my Traeger and went with the Big Joe III. I'm thrilled with it. Fantastic heat retention and temperature control, sturdy construction, and the Joetisserie and Soapstone are must have accessories. The only slight issue I have with it is the cart is a bit wobbly when moving it and will push down a little when I close the lid. I recommend putting it in one spot, locking the wheels, and leaving it. But overall a great purchase.

Happy after a year!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a kid, my dad picked up a Kamado and he used it for almost 30 years only letting it go because the metal stand rotted away, and he was getting ready to move to Florida. I bought this after using a Weber gas grill for 25 years and an electric smoker for 10 years. While the gas was convenient, I wanted the smoke flavor back and the smoker was not convenient to use. The Kamado Joe replaced both and has performed great will no extra effort. We have cooked Fish, Beef, Poultry, and Pork on the Kamado Joe with excellent result and flavor. I will also point out that we use to use a countertop rotisserie for chick at least once a month and since we go the Kamado Joe, we have only pulled it out twice. I will also add that the Kamado Joe is way more functional and easier to maintain that the old one my father had. I am extremely happy with this unit.

Love My Kamado Joe!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had my Classic III for a couple years now and it has become my go-to grill. I've done everything from overnight low & slow smokes to 800 degree pizza. Everything turns out great. Best grill ever.

Love my KJ3

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased my Kamado Joe K3 smoker three years ago, and I couldn't be happier with my decision! This smoker has truly transformed my outdoor cooking experience. The build quality is outstanding, with sturdy materials that feel incredibly durable. The unique ceramic design not only retains heat efficiently but the slow gives food a fantastic flavor. I've tried various meats, from ribs to brisket, and the results have been nothing short of amazing. The temperature control is spot-on, allowing me to achieve that perfect low-and-slow cook without any hassle. I also love the versatility of the K3; I can smoke, grill, or make pizza with it. Clean-up easy as well. The charcoal usage is efficient, and I appreciate how long it holds the heat. Overall, I highly recommend the Kamado Joe K3 to anyone looking to elevate their grilling and smoking game. It's fun to use, and the flavor it imparts to food is truly exceptional. This smoker has definitely earned a permanent spot on my deck!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgraded from a Chargriller Akron Kamado and love the Big Joe III! The quality, versatility and ability to cook indirect and direct at the same time is unmatched in any other Kamado style grill, highly recommend for anyone who loves grilling! Just get a friend or 2 to help you put it together, because it is HEAVY!

Worth it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had out Classic Joe for over a year and we can't be happy enough with it! We became a Kamado enthusiasts soon as we got it. Nothing compares to it. Grills and smokes very well. Our family enjoys cooking in our patio with our Classic Joe. It's worth it that it makes our family closer as we enjoy the food from our Kamado.

Plenty of space

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had the Big Joe III since 2019 and it still looks great and performs like a champ. Plenty of room for three spatchcock chickens or 4 racks of ribs. It's also easy to light and efficient with charcoal. I love my grill.
