I love cooking steaks on this grill. You just can't beat the Divide and Conquer system. A beautiful char on the outside and the inside being a beautiful pink makes for a phenomenal steak.
I have had all types of grills and smokers. I resisted the Joe because I just didn’t think I needed one. I’ve had mine now for a couple years and I love it! I can sneak up to the temperature I want and then hold it effortlessly for as long as needed—even a 14 hour brisket smoke! The quality is fantastic. I will never be without a Joe again.
I looked at a few kamado type grills and went with the Kamado Joe, what a great decision! I am different than most people, I use my grill at least 4-5 times a week year-round. I have the grill under a covered area, I cook with pretty much any weather condition with rain, snow and freezing temps. I purchased my Kamado Joe approx. 3 years ago, after the first ribeye cook on the Joe my wife said "I don't want anything cooked on the gas grill again". I cook everything imaginable on the grill from fish and vegetables to 12-14 hour cooks with pork butts. After 3 years of real use, the Kamado Joe looks and cooks like new. Love it!
I was gifted my Joe 3 years ago. It had only been used once and was essentially brand new. I had used a propane grill up until then and the difference in our meals since has been tremendous. The difference in the quality of the cooking has prompted me to take bbq classes, try smoking new cuts of meat and come up with my own recipes with several rubs and sauces. We used to make steaks, burgers, and chicken and that was it. We now make ribs, roasts, pizza, wings, sausage fatty's, claw tenders, pastrami, beer can chicken, brisket, etc. and keep trying new things The Joe has enhanced the taste of our meals, has given us an opportunity to cook anything and makes getting out on the back deck with the family much more enjoyable. It is one of the best gifts we have received.
Picked this up at road show after switch from a pellet smoker. After my first use, it will be hard to go back to anything else. Kamado support has been excellent and have zero complaints after having to warranty out a heat deflector. The Big Box charcoal is great and goes well with different BBQ styles. Don’t get me started on the accessories.
Well it took me a couple of grilling sessions to understand and control the temperature with more precision, once you get it is a new world of flavors. You can check it out in my Instagram that I exclusively use my Classic ll (@savorysmokeusa)
I've had my Joe II for about 6 months. We're in the middle of Covid-19 and I've been spending a lot of time at home, trying new pizza recipes and smoking various meats. I'm very happy with the Joe. Easy to maintain temperature. Very versatile. I cooked all through the cold winter and it worked perfectly in holding and maintaining temp. I love the slow close and locking lid. I love the vent systems. It's all good!
