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!

Perfect for Slow Cooking
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have own this Kamado Joe for years now. We have smoked, grilled and roasted everything. We now cook most every meal on our Joe. Family members always ask, "whats next". Love it!!!

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.

amazing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this grill for three months now, and I can confidently say it is the finest grill I have ever owned. It transforms every cut of meat into a masterpiece, cooking them to perfection with tantalizing flavors and incredible juiciness that dance on the palate. Each bite is a delightful experience that leaves you craving more.

Plenty of space
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had the Big Joe III since 2019 and it still looks great and performs like a champ. Plenty of room for three spatchcock chickens or 4 racks of ribs. It’s also easy to light and efficient with charcoal. I love my grill.

5 years going strong
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After going through many different styles of grills and attempting to cook amazing BBQ, nothing has compared to my Big Joe III. I've owned cheaper offsets, numerous different pellet smoker grills, and none have them have blown me away as much as this grill. We've stopped going out to eat for BBQ since I can now make better BBQ, for cheaper, then going out. Not only that, with the rotisserie attachment and pizza attachment I don't need to go out for delicious wings or pizza anymore either. This has easily been one of the best purchases I've made in the last 5 years.

Love this Grill
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I started to experiment with a gas grill as a step up from a regular charcoal grill. I thought that this was a little expensive for a grill, but after grilling chicken, various meats, and a Thanksgiving turkey, I realized that it was worth it. I would never go back to using only gas or other grills entirely. Love the way the meat falls off the bones when cooking chicken or turkey, and how the meat is tender and juicy. If a grill could get a Michelin star, this would have at least 3.

Totally amazed by this Smoker
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not only is the quality of the food amazing, but the prep time and cleanup process is super easy. I use a small amount of charcoal (way less than I used in my old smoker). The fire starts quickly and stays hot the entire time I am smoking. I've had meat smoking for 16 hours and never had to add more charcoal. Keeping the temperature at the recommended level is a lot easier that I thought. By simply adjusting the top and bottom vents it's very easy to hold your desired temperature overnight. These smokers are well worth the money. My Kamado Joe is the highlight of my cooking station. My only regret is not buying one sooner!

Great Grill
[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.

Wonderful Joe!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After moving into our new house, we had a built in outdoor kitchen added. We built in our new Kamado Joe Classic III. It's a first time for me with the Kamado Joe, but wow what a difference over my former (Weber) gas grill. The flavor that it imparts just can't be beat. Something about cooking over charcoal that you just can't duplicate with propane. I'm also extremely impressed with how it retains the cooking temperature internally. It's so good, that my wife who likes her steaks well done is extremely happy with the fact they are well done and very juicy. A fine line I couldn't quite get on a gas grill. Burgers, chicken, steaks, veggies, everything so far has been Wonderful. Thank you KJ.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Kamado Joe is everything it says it is! The red ceramic just looks so promising and all the features! I recently just bought the digital big joe and can’t wait to try it!

Best Grill I own
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Kamado Joe BJ3 is the best grill/smoker I currently own. With a 24 inch grill, it has plenty of room to fit whatever you need and the additional height in this model separates itself from BGE. Air lift hinge, gasket, cart and side tables are all premium quality. Can dial in anything from 225 to 900 degrees with ease! Built to last a lifetime.

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!

Kicks my gas grill to the curb!!
[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.

Love It!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been using the Classic III for almost five years now. Use it for everything from brisket or ribs for a longer smote to smash burgers on the cast iron half-moon accessories. I also cook the bacon on the cast iron...fantastic results. (bonus -it keeps the bacon smell out of the house) Love the high-temp searing on the grill for a quick steak.. The ease of temp control is fantastic when compared to the side smoters I had previously.

Love the rotisserie and the flame boss
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this grill in 2018 on the advice of a friend who owns 3 green eggs.😆 He says it’s a great grill plus it comes with extra accessories. I was impressed with the lid hinge and how easy it was to lift. My friends grill is heavy to lift the lid. He too was impressed. I cook just about everything on this grill. I love the rotisserie which I use often. I like doing chargrilled oysters when the weather gets cooler. I have always used Weber grills too many to count and will never look back. My wife of 45 years and I absolutely love these Kamado grills.

classic joe III
[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.
