Love my Kamado Joe!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had my Classic III several years ago and it changed my bbq experience for the better! The ability to set and hold smoking temperatures with ease has revolutionized my bbq menu! With the divide and conquer rack system, this bbq provides unmatched flexibility! Every cook is a new adventure!

Big Joe 3

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased my Big Joe 3 November 2022 and have used it several times per month since then. It is great for big cooks and I always try to have multiple meats on each time I fire it up to optimize charcoal usage. I've added the cast iron grates and half moon griddle for more flexibility as well as the Joetisserie. It does take a lot longer to come up to temperature due to it's size so I'll be keeping my original “large” kamado for faster small cooks.

Excellent Grill

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This grill has been an excellent investment for me and I have been very pleased with the results. Cleanup is a breeze and is easily reassembled to include the ring that holds the ceramic plates in place. The grates can fit in the dishwasher after a little cleaning prior. Some people wouldn't be as meticulous as I am but I enjoy using clean equipment for my food.

Great all around outdoor cooking machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is so much more than just a grill. It really is an entire outdoor kitchen cooking device that churns out amazing food. Sure, it is a grill, but it also is a pizza oven and smoker. Once it heats up to temperature, your options are endless. I was using another brand of grill as my brisket smoker, but after using the KJ3, the results are clear and I sold my non-Kamado grill. It also looks fantastic in your backyard. I look forward to using it each time.

Easily the best kamado there is!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Kamado Joe, with its superior build quality and top of the line accessories is not only the best performing kamado grill on the market, it's also the best value on the market. Kamado Joe hands down outlooks the rest! I highly recommend this product.

Classic Joe 3

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had a Joe Jr for 5 years but needed a larger grill also. The Classic 3 has everything I need and does everything smokes, bakes, roasts, pizza, I mean everything. The other egg grills do not compare.

Jack of all trades, master of every single one

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased my Big Joe 3 in July of 2023 after selling my Traeger Timberline 1300 and haven't looked back since. One of the big considerations for me was versatility. The Joe has delivered on so many different levels here. From smoking a brisket at 250° F, searing chicken thighs for chicken souvlaki, to reverse searing a steak (start out low and slow, pull the steak and finish on high heat) this grill has delivered beyond all of my expectations. The other major consideration for me was temperature regulation. Absolutely phenomenal in this case. Once you get your temperature honed in, the grill does a fantastic job of holding steady. The third callout is flavor. The ability to leverage charcoal and wood chunks was a huge driver for me to make this move, and I've not been disappointed. Finally, the Slo Roller. This has been pretty great for longer cooks, combined with the deflector plates for a “double indirect” heat. All in all, I can't recommend this grill enough. Any opportunity I get I find myself trying to sell friends and family on converting, and the ones that have, share my sentiment.

excellent tasting food

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had my grill for a couple years and I have found that it is hard to make a bad rotisserie Chicken. They turn out great every time. I stack two together and it works great. Love the grill. I've also grilled some amazing Brisket.

Isn't Just a Grill — It's a Lifestyle Upgrade!

I never imagined a grill could change the way I cook, entertain, and connect with people — until I met the Kamado Big Joe Series III. This isn't just a backyard cooker. It's a culinary powerhouse that delivers unmatched flavor, control, and versatility. The moment I fired it up, I knew I was working with something special. From tender smoked brisket to high-heat seared tomahawks, it handles it all with absolute precision. What truly sets the Big Joe Series III apart is its thoughtful engineering: The SlōRoller® delivers perfect smoke distribution — it's like having a built-in smoke master. The Divide & Conquer® system lets me cook an entire meal — proteins, sides, and more — all at once, all at different temps. And the Air Lift™ Hinge? Genius. Smooth, effortless, and solid. But here's the truth: it's more than performance. It's about experience. Every time I cook on this grill, it draws a crowd. Friends linger longer. Conversations deepen. Meals turn into memories. It makes me feel proud — not just of the food, but of the ritual behind it. The Kamado Big Joe Series III didn't just exceed expectations. It redefined them. If you want to elevate your cooking, your hosting, and your lifestyle — this is the grill. Not a purchase. An investment. And one that pays off every single time you lift that lid.
