Amazing cooking/smoking results

definitely a steep initial learning curve to understand how to cook with lump charcoal, but once you get the basics (and watch a few youtube tutorials), you will love this cooker. Highly recommend it!

Versatility

Very versatile grill. In the past 3 weeks we have grilled salmon, tuna steaks, smoked chicken and ribs, cooked burgers and used the Do Joe for pizzas. Looking forward to using the JoeTisserie.

My favorite go to smoker/grill.

On this grill, I have cooked everything from wings, to 2 Boston butts (at the same time), ribs, burgers, pizzas, and even biscuits. My previous ceramic grill was oval shaped and it wasn't as versatile.

Heat retention

The kamado Joe classic 3 is my first introduction to smoking food, I didn't bother buying something cheaper first and work my way up to a premium unit. Glad I didn't waste my money on anything else!

My Big Joe Review

Out of my three grills the Big Joe gets the most use. Purchased during the beginning of COVID and still going strong with no issues to report. Thank you, John

Looking forward too many years of smoking meats.

I've done 4 cooks on it in the past few weeks and the food tastes amazing each time even though my first cook didn't go great. It's being a bit of a learning curve but Smoking Dad BBQ on YouTube really helped learn how to control the heat.

We LOVE it!

This was a GREAT purchase! Our kamado grill cooks so efficiently and is easy to clean. It offers many desired features and we couldn't be happier! We will step outside the boundaries soon and start purchasing grilling accessories. It's fantastic!

Love Kamado Big Joe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the Komodo Joe so much that I bought one for my trailer and one for the house. I can't believe how delicious everything is. People always say it's the best ribs they've ever had.

Best Grill I've Ever Had

The best Father's Day gift I've ever received. After 3 uses, I'm blown away by the flavor and quality of this grill. I highly recommend the Kamado Joe to any grill enthusiast looking for a high-quality and versatile piece of equipment.
