Love My KJ III

I absolutely love my Kamado Joe!! It is a great smoker and grill compared to Big Green Egg. (which I have owned two over the years). I bought my Big Joe III last year for my birthday. It is a superior grill in every way...from the one finger lifting of the top to the heavy duty seal it provides, I can't say enough good things about my KJ. IT ROCKS!

Limitless possibilities

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This grill has replaced more than just my gas grill. It has replaced my oven for many other things. It produces immensely flavorful juicy food. It takes a little more time and patience, but the results speak for themselves. If you are on the fence, just do it.

Love this guy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice to get back to my roots of charcoal cooking. I've tried everything from low and slow brisket to ribs chicken and reverse sear steaks and tri tip. Still lots to learn but getting there. Very happy to have it and I get to acquire all these cooking accessories which drives my wife crazy!

Simply the best most versatile grill.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It didn't take long for me to decide the KJ was the best grill ever. This grill runs like a clock, consistent and efficient. I can dial it in and walk away. I used to have to babysit my stick-burner (which shut down my day), the Kamado just works like a charm. I have the Classic but also bought a Jr. as a gift for my father - he loves it! The accessories are a blast too.

Kicks my gas grill to the curb!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my Kamato Big Joe 24 2 months ago and I cook every day on this grill. Ive learned that it's a very simple to use grill. I'm 68 years old and have had from Kalamazoo to Holland, this Kamato is amazing. It holds temp just perfect. I've cooked ribs to brisket, turkey, to tomahawk. By far this is the best grill I have ever had.

Best investment ever

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Most fun I have had barbecuing in my 72 years, people think I have been doing this for years because the food comes out tasting so great, truth is it's all the grills doing I just watch it do it's thing

Does EVERYTHING well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have & have had several other "grills" & cooking devices. Pellets, blackstone, offset, propane...they all have their "thing" they do better than everything else. But this ceramic does everything I've asked it to do as well as or better than the specialty things. Size/capacity is the only downside I've ran into. Sometimes I like to cook for groups & it doesn't have the capacity. But tase is ALWAYS off the charts.

5 years going strong

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After going through many different styles of grills and attempting to cook amazing BBQ, nothing has compared to my Big Joe III. I've owned cheaper offsets, numerous different pellet smoker grills, and none have them have blown me away as much as this grill. We've stopped going out to eat for BBQ since I can now make better BBQ, for cheaper, then going out. Not only that, with the rotisserie attachment and pizza attachment I don't need to go out for delicious wings or pizza anymore either. This has easily been one of the best purchases I've made in the last 5 years.

Never going g back...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ...to my old bbq ever again. I was so happy whenI was unpacking this thing. All the parts are made with high quality craftsmanship. Thick stainless steel pieces. Smooth working hinge. Heavy and thick ceramics. You will not be let down after spending a nice chunk of change for this bbq. The heat control alone is unparalleled to any other grill I've used. 3 hour 6 hour 9 hour cooks no problem for the Big Joe. A must have for any family man or woman that loves to cook mouth watering BBQ. The only conI can think of is I wish the cart was made out of heavier duty steel. It barely holds up to the weight of the Big Joe.
