Love our Big Joe
on August 27, 2025
Posted by: Quint
from Nashville, Tennessee
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this kamado. We cook four butts or four racks all the time. Our neighbors are thankful for the extra capacity! We originally purchased in 2020 after having owned a few akorn's. Researched a few years before pulling the trigger. I wish I had gotten sooner. Once you get the vent settings you like, the Big Joe can run unattended for the duration of cooks. We use a fireboard to monitor temps for longer cooks b/c Big Joe can run 18+ hours without ever needing to add lump.

One and done cooker.

from KC Mo
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve cooked on this weekly for several months. I’ve had them all, pellet grills, off sets, propane, ugly drum smokers… and this replaces them all but provides a better smoke, grill, and roast than all they other types of grill. It is incredible how well this thing maintains temperature and how efficient it is with charcoal. From smoking at 225f for 8 hours to a 700 degree sear. An incredible value. Pro tip. Don’t hesitate, get the joetisserie it’s incredible.

I'm ALL IN!!!
on August 27, 2025
Posted by: timm747
from St. Augustine, FL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my KJ Classic II 3 years ago and can honestly say, this grill is incredible. I initially dipped my toe in the water and bought a cheaper "box store" brand kamado. I had it for about a year and couldn't get the temps to even out, so started doing some research online. That's when I stumbled upon Smoking Dad BBQ. After watching all of his content, I was sold on KJ. I ended up selling my junk kamado along with the table I made for it and bought a Classic II. After one cook on the KJ I was hooked. I ended up building a table for it and it has been on my back patio ever since. The grill is extremely flexible and can do anything you throw at it. Steaks, Ribs, Pulled Pork, Brisket, Burnt Ends, Burgers, Chicken Wings, you name it and it comes off the Joe perfect! It is so easy to get to a temperature and it just stays there. I've had several friends buy a Joe after seeing mine in action. Writing this review has me thinking I need to go out and make some pork belly burnt ends. Happy smoking everyone!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this grill for a year now, it’s become my favorite because of its consistency and great tasting food. From time to time I have to tighten up the latch but other than that, I’ve had no problems.
