[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve enjoyed my Big Joe for years! The family knows when I fire it up something great is coming. Once settled, it holds temp great. Very versatile!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this grill in early 2020, at the start of the COVID lockdowns. I figured if I was going to be stuck at home, I might as well enjoy it. Since then, I've used it at least once or twice a week, weather permitting, and have had very few complaints. I've done everything from quick burgers and seared steaks to full-day smoked pork and beef brisket, and have even used it to smoke my Thanksgiving turkey for the last two years. It has handled everything I've thrown at it, and consistently exceeded my expectations. It's expensive, there's no getting around that, but for someone who will use it often and wants a grill that can handle whatever you want to throw on it, it's worth every penny.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While building an outdoor kitchen I decided to add a smoker and started the research. I had used a traditional off-set smoker for years and explored newer offsets, pellet grills, and ceramic eggs. I landed on the Kamado Joe and so glad I did. I selected the “Big Joe” because I wanted the room and flexibility of the larger surface area. I can smoke at least 4 full slabs of ribs with room to spare, no need to rack them. Full turkeys no problems. However while the room is a plus the quality of the build is the reason for this review. Every aspect of the layout is top notch, the locking hardware, seals and gaskets, and springs all make this product very useable. One of the best features is the ash removal system which makes cleanup a snap, simply sweep the ash to the bottom, pull the tray and dump - simple and easy. The other eggs I looked at required removing ash from the inside. One accessory I recommend is the iKamand which helps manage the temperature accurately and provides automated recipes if needed. I highly recommend Kamado Joe,
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have cooked on various grills all my life. My Kamado Joe is by far the best I have ever owned and cooked with. There are no limits to the type of cooking I can do on it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The grill is an investment but endures high temperatures and long and slow sessions alike. Once a small learning curve for heat maintenance is overcome, the stability is easy to keep up. High quality parts.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought in 2018 and haven't been disappointed yet. Plenty of room for anything you need to cook include 6 racks of ribs. Love the accessories you can buy as well.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm an Egg Head and had 3 Big Green Eggs when I bought our Kamado Joe. I was intrigued by the story and design/operastion improvements over the BGE. I have loved my design. The simplicity, design and cook just work. Love to load the box, fire it up and enjoy my Kamado Joe cook!
