I got mine at the end of last summer in the fall. Got a pretty great price as closeouts were on. It does so many things well, smokes, roasts, bakes, and grills. Overall quality is great. It did take some effort to get the new style firebox properly assembled.
Have never had a better steak than ones cooked up on this grill. And I have had the pleasure of dining at most of the highest steak restaurants across the USA.
I have been a gas griller for years using Weber products. Chose to move into a charcoal smoker, to enhance the beef brisket recipe our family has. Kamado Joe was a fantastic choice for high quality that will last. The BJII provides additional space for when cooking for a larger group! Still learning, but enjoying it thus far!
Read a lot of positive reviews before purchasing. Debated whether to spend this much money on a grill, but after a few months decided to pull the trigger. Went with the Kamado Joe because of the advanced features like the counterbalance hinge and the oven type gasket. I have to admit that I love the Red color as well. This grill arrived well packaged, is solidly built, and was easy to assemble. Look forward to many years of outdoor cooking.
This is my first Kamado style grill. I was a little worried that I wouldn’t like it so I did a lot of researching before deciding. My friend has a BGE so he urged me to get one also. After discovering Kamado Joe I read tons of reviews and watched countless videos comparing KJ & BGE. The things that sold me on KJ were the color (BGE green is atrocious), much better fiberglass gasket vs felt on BGE, the BGE doesn’t come with a stand or any of the extras you get with Kamado Joe, and the Classic Joe II was $200 less than the same size BGE. I ordered my Classic Joe II directly from KamadoJoe.com and they threw in a free bag of big block charcoal and free shipping!! I’ve had it for only a month, but I’ve used it 8 times already. I knew nothing about cooking this way and now I’m turning out great ribs, brisket, steaks and smoked Thank you Kamado Joe for making such an awesome product!!
