I bought my Big Joe III from a guy moving and he could not take it with him. This thing is a tank! The grill sips on charcoal so it is economical to run. The mass of ceramic maintains a very steady heat for hours! It is so easy to adjust temperatures with the air vents. I can seer, flame cook, slow cook or smoke on this... so the versatility is everything i need. Everybody comments on how great the food I cook on this tastes.

I bought the grill a couple months ago and it works as expected. Temperature control is very easy and it is a jack of all trades. I expected some of the features to work better like the air hinge has needed tightening multiple times and the smoke roller is a pain to clean. That being said, I would buy the grill again.

It's not mine, its my brother's Classic Joe. Yeah, he rambles on about how easy it is to use. It's his favorite grill of all time. (he's 71, he's had a few) Personally, Idk.... It's the food he pulls off that baby...juicy, delicious, amazing, totally drool worthy creations. The Classic Joe can turn the worst cooks into Michelin worthy chefs.

I am new to kamado style grilling and it is awesome! I've been a charcoal griller for a long time and so the learning curve was not as steep as I thought it would be. Controlling the temp is easy, the food is wonderful and the features that persuaded me to buy the Joe instead of the egg have proved to be worth it. Spending 2K on a grill is steep for me and about four times more than I've spent before so I was hesitant to upgrade to the Big Joe III but I am so glad I did. The Big Joe allows me to cook multiple things at once and the upgraded features are well worth it. The sloroller is easy and does a great job at smoking. I love my Big Joe III and wouldn't trade it!

I was deciding between the KJ and the Egg and I went with the KJ and I'm so glad I did. I would rather pay one price and get all the accessories rather than have to pick and choose à la carte. The KJ is just better designed, the easy open lid is fantastic as is the seal which keeps all the heat in. My cousin has the Egg and he dropped the lid as he was closing it and it broke. Steady temps. Sturdy design. Heavy metal stainless steel grates. She's a beast.

I bought the grill 2 weeks and cooked on it 3 times, during the second cook I noticed that the top vent was stuck when I tried to adjust it. After the third cook, I looked at the vent and found that the paint inside and out was peeling off. For the price that I paid for the grill, I was expecting a better quality.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Kamado Joe Grill isn't just another grill; it's a masterpiece of design and functionality that caters to the very soul of barbecue enthusiasts. Smoking Meat: Diving deep into its prowess, I first tested the Kamado Joe's smoking abilities. The thick ceramic walls trap heat, moisture, and flavor, ensuring an even and consistent temperature throughout the cooking process. This translates to beautifully smoked meats that are tender, juicy, and infused with that authentic smoky flavor. Whether it's ribs, brisket, or poultry, this grill handles it all with ease, offering a robust flavor profile that puts conventional smokers to shame. High-Temperature Steaks: Transitioning from low and slow to searingly hot, the Kamado Joe's capability to achieve incredibly high temperatures is awe-inspiring. Achieving that perfect Maillard reaction on your steaks becomes child's play. The intense heat sears the meat quickly, locking in juices and creating a mouth-watering crust, giving you steakhouse-quality results in the comfort of your backyard. Pizza Perfection: But this grill isn't limited to just meats. I was pleasantly surprised at its proficiency with pizzas. Using the Kamado Joe is akin to having your very own wood-fired oven. The ceramic dome reflects heat, which crisps up the base while ensuring an even bake on top. The result? A pizza with a perfectly charred crust, molten cheese, and toppings cooked to perfection. It's a game-changer for homemade pizza nights. Final Thoughts: The Kamado Joe Grill isn't just a grill, it's an experience. It takes you on a culinary journey from the art of smoking to the thrill of high-heat grilling and the joy of wood-fired baking. Whether you're a weekend griller or a seasoned pitmaster, the Kamado Joe is a worthy addition to any outdoor cooking setup, promising not just meals, but memories

This is my first and very happy with his performance

My wife purchased the Kamado Joe for our anniversary because i would not stop talking about it, i try to cook every weekend

Love this grill. So many different set ups and uses. Comes up to temperature so much faster than my visions grill. It's just a pleasure to use.
