Fire it Up with the Big Joe Series III Grill

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this awesome grill a few years ago. It is very easy to smoke any variety of meats, salmon or macaroni cheese. The grill body holds cooking temperatures very well and produces high quality results. The Kamado brand is phenomenal and delivers exceptional results.

Great Grill!

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!

definitely worth the price

Have owned kamel joe jr for two years. definitely the best grill and smoker I have ever owned over 50 years. The flavor you get from smoked meats is incredible, something I could never get on my gas or regular charcoal grill. Definitely worth the price. Quality is excellent.

Most Versatile Grill Ever

I have owned my Big Joe III for several years and continue to enjoy its quality and versatility. I use the Joe-Tisserie and the DoJoe accessories all the time as well as the SloRoller. Temperature control is simple and predicable which allows for great cooks every time.

Worth every penny!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always felt that wood grills have a superior flavor to gas grills, no matter what tricks you try to use with gas grills and wood chunks or smoke generators. I bought my Kamado Joe to reverse sear Sous Vide steaks and man, the flavor is out of this world! There is no char I have ever been able to match against my Kamado Joe. It is simply the best, and I have tried quite a few, including smokers. It has become my favorite grill in a very short time. I would buy this again.

More room

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought it a few months ago, finally got around to using it, was everything I was told and then some. Very easy to control the temperature and very accurate. Smoked two racks and a pork loin to perfection, everyone enjoyed, and I think my brother in law was a little jealous 😊 Next on the menu is a brisket. Thoroughly enjoy the Big Joe 3, thanks, it's a great product.

Changed my life

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Classic 3 Grill has completely transformed my grilling experience. From the moment I started using it, I realized just how effortless and enjoyable BBQing could be. The grill's design makes it nearly impossible to mess up, even for those who aren't seasoned pitmasters. One of the standout features is its exceptional heat retention and precise temperature control, allowing for both low-and-slow smoking and high-heat searing. Whether I'm cooking ribs, brisket, or even pizzas, everything turns out perfectly every time. The build quality is also top-notch, with durable materials that hold up well over time. What I love most is how easy it is to use. The airflow adjustments are intuitive, and once it's set, it maintains a steady temperature without constant babysitting. Cleanup is a breeze, making the entire BBQ process hassle-free. Since getting the Classic 3, I've been BBQing every weekend, and it has truly become the highlight of my week. If you're looking for a grill that delivers restaurant-quality results with minimal effort, this is it. Absolute game-changer!

Worth it's weight in…charcoal

I grew up on charcoal but as an adult went propane. In past 30 years haven't enjoyed the experience or flavor. Kept eyeing the Kamado grills. After extensive research went with the Classic III. Haven't failed a dinner yet. Everything we cook is loaded with flavor and moist! And the ability for it to pizzas is an added bonus. I was nervous about the time it would take to regulate and cook but that is not an issue. It maintains temps better than any propane grill I have ever owned. I enjoy cooking on it. I am super excited to be able to extend my grilling season through the winter as a north eastern gal transplanted from Fl , this really added the icing on the cake!

Best Grill - Period

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Classic III about 2 months ago and love it. The online help for recipe's (Kamado Joe website or Youtube Kamado Joe influencers) is great and makes it very easy for a beginner. Every meal has been perfect - I cooked everything = whitefish, smashburgers, seared ribeye's, pizza, rotisserie chicken, beer can chicken.

Clearly a better choice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased my Classic Joe III 2 months ago and have been very impressed. First the ability to precisely control cooking temperatures is astonishing. Whether it is low and slow or screaming hot the Joe can do the job. Many of the most useful accessories come standard. The lid can be raised or lowered with my little finger. On a low and slow smoke it maintains temperature for hours without further attention. This is my first experience with a Kamado type grill and I could not be more happy. The results simply speaks for themselves. Delicious and perfectly cooked BBQ. Thank You Kamado Joe! Stephen Smith
