I'm in love with my Kamado
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first started looking at kamado style grills, I was hesitant because of one brand that is really expensive. It was about that time I discovered the Kamado Joe series and did my homework on them. To say the least, I was quite impressed with everything you can do with these wonderful cookers.
Since then, I have grilled, smoked meats and made pizza on mine and it keeps on doing a great job.

Great Features
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife bought me this Kamado Joe to replace a cheaper grill. It works great and I’m very pleased with it.

GO BIG OR GO HOME!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I cook for 2 people and love the multi zone cooking on my BIG JOE III but have the flexibility to cook a large group if needed. This is the only way to go!

Happy after a year!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a kid, my dad picked up a Kamado and he used it for almost 30 years only letting it go because the metal stand rotted away, and he was getting ready to move to Florida.
I bought this after using a Weber gas grill for 25 years and an electric smoker for 10 years. While the gas was convenient, I wanted the smoke flavor back and the smoker was not convenient to use. The Kamado Joe replaced both and has performed great will no extra effort. We have cooked Fish, Beef, Poultry, and Pork on the Kamado Joe with excellent result and flavor. I will also point out that we use to use a countertop rotisserie for chick at least once a month and since we go the Kamado Joe, we have only pulled it out twice. I will also add that the Kamado Joe is way more functional and easier to maintain that the old one my father had. I am extremely happy with this unit.

Great cooker
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my Big Joe! Features are so much better than Green Egg. It is easy to clean, the slider drawer makes it so easy to remove used charcoal. The divider is nice for small cooks and the temperature control is uncanny when the pit is clean. Easy to relight used charcoal. Split grill is very cool. If I would change anything it would be to have some sort of locking mechanism to hold grates in place.

Classic Joe III
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great value as compared to BGE. We use our KJ at least 4 nights per week grilling chicken, salmon, pork tenderloin, and others. Weekends are great for smoking a butt or shoulder, or ribs. Food tastes fantastic. They stand by their product too. I just had two pieces down in the bottom replaced under warranty due to cracks. No questions asked.

Consistent Heat/Burn
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had the BigJoe for a few years now and love everything about it. But I think the best is the consistent heat and burn of the charcoal. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing smoker!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been part of the Kamado Joe for 5 years now…first with the classic and now with the Big Joe III and I can’t say enough about them! Amazing quality, both in the grill itself and the bbq I’m able to achieve. Would recommend to anyone serious about bbq!!

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.

Great quality inside and out!
[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.

Game changer for backyard BBQ
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used plenty of grills and smokers over the years, but the Classic Joe III is on a whole different level. If you’re just getting into BBQ, don’t be intimidated by the ceramic style—this thing makes it easier, not harder. The heat holds steady like an oven, so you’re not babysitting the fire every 10 minutes.
I’ve smoked ribs low and slow for 6 hours, seared steaks at 700°, and even baked pizza on it. Everything comes out with that wood-fired flavor that’s impossible to fake. The divide-and-conquer system lets you cook multiple ways at once, one side hot and fast, the other low and slow. It’s like having two grills in one. Build quality is rock solid. The lid feels balanced, the seals are tight, and the rolling cart makes it easy to move around even though it’s heavy. It’s not cheap, but the value is there because it replaces a smoker, a grill, and even an oven. If you’re on the fence, this grill makes you look like a pro from day one. Highly recommend it.

Cannot love this more
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this for my husband for Father's Day. He absolutely loves it! It has been a fun project between him and I, and with him and our adult son, to learn to use it and try new things out of the smoker. It was pretty easy to set up (did use some YouTube help) and he was able to do a big boston butt the first day. We have since done several types of meats, burgers and the best briskets we have ever eaten. He hardly uses the gas grill anymore and is making plans for Thanksgiving. I very much recommend this product!

My most versatile grill
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my Big Joe III. I use it for everything from low and slow cooks, grilling, cooking pizzas, and rotisserie over a live fire. It performs great and always gives an awesome flavor. I have a ton of grills but if I could only keep one, it would be this.

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

Great, versitile grill
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had my Big Joe Series 3 for over 2 and a half years and I LOVE it! I'm able to do so much more than I ever was on any of my gas grills - grill steaks, burgers, etc; roast chickens; smoke ribs, pork butts, etc; even bake in it! Once you get the hang of temperature control, it's so easy to make a wide variety of delicious food that has that authentic outdoor, charcoal/wood fire flavor. I would suggest Smokin' Dad BBQ's temperature control guide & videos to shorten that learning curve. I have recommended a Kamado Joe to several people and will continue to do so without hesitation. It was somewhat expensive, but I'm pretty sure that it's the last grill I'll ever need to buy. No replacing gas grills that rust away every few years.

Big Joe Series III wins HANDS DOWN!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used a pellet grill for over a year and it produced good results for me, no shade about that. But, I've looked at Kamado Joe grills for years and I finally got the grill of my bbq dreams - the Big Joe 3. We splurged and picked up the largest version in order to cook many things at once. It's the perfect addition to my outside kitchen as we entertain family and friends. I totally love it. Kamado grills are high quality and they thought of everything! I highly recommend this grill to all my friends and family!

Big Joe is what you need when the family arrives
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had my Big Joe III since early summer, and it is incredible the amount of food you can cook. For July 4th had 6 slabs of St Louis ribs on, enough for 8 adults and my 6 grandkids. It heats up faster than I would have thought for its size, and the heat retention and temperature stability are a game changer. I have an offset smoker that I have used for years, and while it is awesome it is a labor of love, feeding new wood in every 30 min or so and constantly tending the fire to maintain temp. If all you have to do is sit by the smoker that is fine, but that stopped working for me at least with the grandkids wanting to play and have fun. I can now get the Big Joe to temp in about 15-20 minutes, put on the food, insert a probe and go have fun. Even coming back 2 hours later the Big Joe is sitting nicely at the desired temp, and don't even get me started on how good the food is! So far 3 beer can chickens at same time, amazing, slow roller (yep, comes with the Big Joe III) pork, reverse sear steaks and for this weekend (Labor Day) a pair of Joetisserie chickens are on tap (smaller crowd this time). Clean up is so easy compared to my offset smoker, and the quality of the Kamado Big Joe is superb. Clear instructions for assembly, heavy duty materials, and a terrific design add up to this is a grill that is going to go the distance for me (my offset is 22 years old and still going strong, and I have no doubt the Kamado will still be cooking up great meals for my kids and grandkids when I'm gone. If you like the flavor of food cooked over charcoal and smoke (which should be everyone who has ever compared something from a Kamado to same food from a propane grill) then get on board and join team Kamado! Now if only it came in blue (GO BLUE), yea, I went to U of Michigan and I do have an issue with silver and red (if you know you know).

Great Grill
[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.
