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.

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

Big Joe Grill - Series III

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased my Big Joe June 7th 2025 and have literally used it all but a handful of days since purchase. The Big Joe has performed flawlessly and I have had so much fun grilling and smoking on it. If you want American made quality equipment that cooks your food to perfection get a Kamado Joe!

Kamado Joe Classic Joe III made me a Meat Lover!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my Kamado Joe Classic Joe III about 2 years ago, and followed the "Smoking Dad BBQ" video "The FIVE COOKS that will help you MASTER your Kamado Joe", along with many other videos on You Tube. I am someone who rarely eats pork, doesn't really like chicken, and maybe once a year eats red meat. I don't eat smoked food much because... well, it's just to smokey. I thought I always hated the taste of charcoal. Enter the Kamado Joe Classic Joe III. My husband talked me into it, since I do all of the cooking including the BBQ, you can imagine it took awhile! Well the way this cooks, is amazing. I love it from the wonderful addition of the slow roller, to the rotisserie, and the 3-Tier Divide & Conquer Flexible Cooking System. The kontrol tower makes keeping a steady temperature so simple, and I love the ease of ash clean up! Also I am a woman, with minimal upper body strength, and it is so easy to lift the Dome with the air lift hinge. Last year, 3 weeks before Fathers Day I started cooking the 5 cooks to help you master the Kamado Joe. They all came out pretty well, then I tried the Brisket, which is something my Dad loves, and I almost died when I made it, I Was In LOVE! I made it twice before Fathers Day and then brought it for Fathers Day. My Dad thinks I can cook anything now! Then 2 weeks later we had our Summer party and I made it again, I am not sure if I will ever get tired of Brisket! The reverse seared Ribeye was amazing. Kamado Joe has opened up my eyes to so many possibilities with charcoal and wood. And of course my old standbys, Fish and vegies, are great on it as well!

Love the versatility, temp control, and results!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was hesitant at first to spend the money on my Classic III, but am glad I did! I have had it for a couple of years now and done many different cooks, and every time have enjoyed the process and the results!

Best Ever

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned virtually all types of outdoor cookers in the past. Stick burners, electric smokers, regular charcoal grills, pellet grills, But I finally got the KBJIII and it does it all! No need for any other grill ever again. Super easy to maintain the temperature I want, which is what I was always afraid of before. The beatuiful Kamado Joe brings my family together over fabulous meals with wonderful BBQ flavor. Never dry meat due to the superb efficiency.

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.

Go to for long cooks

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I typically use my big Joe for long cooks. The most fuel efficient cooker I've ever used.. I've got a big family and typically cook for 30ish people. I wind up doing the cooking because everyone loves the flavor and tenderness that comes off this grill. Once I get my temps set, I rarely adjust the vents. If you like long cooks and want capacity, this is the most fool proof grill you could own
