[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this right after it was released years ago. It's been 5 years and still going strong. Very well made, easy to clean and the best part is it stays hot due to the unique shape and holds the heat very well. I purchased different cooking grates and stones and they are well worth the extra cost as it becomes only more fun. I also added the rotisserie tool and the pizza oven. This thing is an all in one grill that can cook anything you throw to it. A first timer or a an experienced bbq person, it is something anyone should have.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased series 3 grill about 4 months ago and am very happy with purchase. Item was excellently packaged and due to it being very susceptible to breakage, I was very concerned. Could not of been packaged any better. Grill works great, just taking time to find out best way to control heat. Just smoked some salmon for 8 hours and it turn out perfectly. Very happy with my purchase.

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used every type of grill and barbecue pit out there and recently purchased a Big Joe III. This pit is amazing. My briskets come out with great bark, super tender and juicy pork butts pull easily, and my steaks get the perfect sear. I've also baked bread, enchiladas, and amazing pizza. Everything's better on the big Joe. My only regret is I didn't buy one 10 years ago.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Classic Joe III this summer to replace my previous Classic Joe I that I had for 15 years. My Classic Joe I was in need of repairs after being blown over in a wind storm, and I used some gift cards from my company to purchase the new Classic III. I love the new charcoal basket, the lift mechanism, and the new deluxe stand. These upgrades have made my cooking event even better and the results have been outstanding.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first luxury grill/smoker. My first attempt to grill was a amazing experience. Even my neighbor who is very experience with other smokers was in shock of the heat retation and the ease of use.

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very pleased with this purchase. I was gifted it by my wife for my birthday and I have enjoyed it ever since. so much fun from starting it up to cooking on it. My only complaint comes to the placement of the ceramic parts to form the firebox. To get the ring to slide down and fit snuggly on the parts for a proper base, I need to utilize paper towels to push the ceramic parts in which sit there until I next I have to remove the ceramic pieces to clean the system.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was originally a Christmas gift from my parents when I moved into my first college house. Now it's a staple of my young adult life. Rather it's grilling something for a quick and nice weeknight date night with my girlfriend or a smoking some meat with my friends on the weekend. This grill has been a gathering spot for me and my circle for years and will be for years to come.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you never cooked or smoked with a kamado joedon't be intimidated. I was a avg. gas griĺler and de ided to buy a classic joe 3 and it has been a life changer for me and the family. I was nervous about the iniitail spend, but the amazing foodyou can make off a kamado is so worth it. Cuicken, pizza, steaks, ribs, roasts and veggies taste so awesome my family just gobbles it up and the leftovers the next day are gone by noon!
