[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I started to experiment with a gas grill as a step up from a regular charcoal grill. I thought that this was a little expensive for a grill, but after grilling chicken, various meats, and a Thanksgiving turkey, I realized that it was worth it. I would never go back to using only gas or other grills entirely. Love the way the meat falls off the bones when cooking chicken or turkey, and how the meat is tender and juicy. If a grill could get a Michelin star, this would have at least 3.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not only is the quality of the food amazing, but the prep time and cleanup process is super easy. I use a small amount of charcoal (way less than I used in my old smoker). The fire starts quickly and stays hot the entire time I am smoking. I've had meat smoking for 16 hours and never had to add more charcoal. Keeping the temperature at the recommended level is a lot easier that I thought. By simply adjusting the top and bottom vents it's very easy to hold your desired temperature overnight. These smokers are well worth the money. My Kamado Joe is the highlight of my cooking station. My only regret is not buying one sooner!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very pleased with this purchase. I was gifted it by my wife for my birthday and I have enjoyed it ever since. so much fun from starting it up to cooking on it. My only complaint comes to the placement of the ceramic parts to form the firebox. To get the ring to slide down and fit snuggly on the parts for a proper base, I need to utilize paper towels to push the ceramic parts in which sit there until I next I have to remove the ceramic pieces to clean the system.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After moving into our new house, we had a built in outdoor kitchen added. We built in our new Kamado Joe Classic III. It's a first time for me with the Kamado Joe, but wow what a difference over my former (Weber) gas grill. The flavor that it imparts just can't be beat. Something about cooking over charcoal that you just can't duplicate with propane. I'm also extremely impressed with how it retains the cooking temperature internally. It's so good, that my wife who likes her steaks well done is extremely happy with the fact they are well done and very juicy. A fine line I couldn't quite get on a gas grill. Burgers, chicken, steaks, veggies, everything so far has been Wonderful. Thank you KJ.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Kamado Joe is everything it says it is! The red ceramic just looks so promising and all the features! I recently just bought the digital big joe and can’t wait to try it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Kamado Joe BJ3 is the best grill/smoker I currently own. With a 24 inch grill, it has plenty of room to fit whatever you need and the additional height in this model separates itself from BGE. Air lift hinge, gasket, cart and side tables are all premium quality. Can dial in anything from 225 to 900 degrees with ease! Built to last a lifetime.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had this Grill for a while and the Family has been loving all of the meals. The consistency in temps and the taste of food with lump charcoal can't be beat!
