We have owned a Kamado Pot for over 40 years. Last year we decided we deserved an upgrade, even though our old Kamado pot was still good (we passed it on to a family member). I LOVE all the new additions to the Kamado Joe; the exterior temperature gauge, the top vent, the hydraulic lid, the cart and side racks, etc., etc. We have always loved the flavor Kamado gives to food of any kind. Of all the different meats and vegetables we cook in it, I guess I’d have to say my two (sentimental) favorites are meatloaf and Thanksgiving turkey. Family and friends love having a turkey made in the Kamado so much that we have to do the turkey whether we are hosting Thanksgiving dinner or not. We don’t mind because we love it too.
I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend. He loves it, but we are still learning on how to work it correctly. From what we gather, there doesn't seem to be anything it CANT do.
We are super excited to use it in the coming summer months.
Bought this about a month ago and the only downside is that I wish I had gotten one a year ago. I have loved having the KJ (my family has too). It can make you seem like a better cook than you really are because it is such a high quality grill! It is very versatile, holds heat incredibly well, provides great flavor, etc. It is just really fun to use. I have enjoyed learning the ins and outs of this cooker and am hooked on watching Youtube videos on everything Kamado Joe. I would not hesitate to recommend this grill to anyone.
I bought the Classic II and the only problem thus far that I have is that the dome will not stay open. When I lift the dome, it immediately starts closing. It is very difficult to smoke when the you are holding the dome up with one hand and trying to do everything else with the other hand. Please advise. I don't want to base my review on that alone because everything else seems fine.
I have owned my Red Headed Girlfriend for a while now. I was reluctant at first because this is the most money I have ever spent on a BBQ. This was the best decision I have made in some time. From the quality of the product to the customer service at Kamado Joe. You will not find a better product, it is my favorite BBQ!
