[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had my Classic Joe III for 8 months and I love it! I’ve been a loyal Big Green Egg owner until now. The Kamado Joe has so much included. The Kick Ash basket is easy to use. The divide and conquer system allows for multi-level cooking. The one finger open hinge is easy to operate, and latch seals the Kamado Joe closed. Finally, the included SLO Roller enhances the smoking experience.
I decided to bite the bullet about 2 years ago and get my classic 3. I did a ton of research prior to buying one. I watched several YouTube channels including kamado's official channel and I even did research on some of the major competitors like the green egg. In my opinion, the kamado joe is just a superior grilling experience. There is a learning curve, as with all grills, but with the kamado joe you are truly only limited by your own patience and skills. I've smoked and prepared a ton of food items. Some of my foods include ribs, brisket, fajitas, steaks, burgers, snapper, salmon, pancakes, chicken wings, thighs, whole chickens and turkeys. Where I feel kamado beats there competition is in the accessories. There truly is an accessory for anything you can think of. And it holds its temperature perfectly for hours upon hours once you learn how to build the right fire. And yes it was expensive but you get what you pay for and I've actually saved money in the long run because I've been cooking my own meals a lot more since I purchased my kamado joe instead of eating out. It's also nice knowing exactly how much sodium or other ingredients are in my food since I'm preparing it myself. It's also much easier to clean than previous grills that I've owned. If you are thinking about buying one think of it more like a long term investment that can literally last a lifetime.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cooking on the Kamado is so awsome. Get the coals up to 350. Put on king crab legs. Bast with butter. Flip every so often. The meat has such a nice Smokey taste. I did a 3 way taste test. Boil, oven or Kamado. Hands down Joe won. Made me take the rest an smoke on the Joe before they would eat.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great grill. Got it few months back after my previous small camado cracked. also had as too small for paella plate. This one is just perfect size. Wife happy me happy.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought my Joe 4 years ago and couldn’t be happier with the decision. Everything is still like on day one, working just as efficient and as perfect.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Classic III about 2 months ago and love it. The online help for recipe's (Kamado Joe website or Youtube Kamado Joe influencers) is great and makes it very easy for a beginner. Every meal has been perfect - I cooked everything = whitefish, smashburgers, seared ribeye's, pizza, rotisserie chicken, beer can chicken.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased my Kamado Joe K3 smoker three years ago, and I couldn't be happier with my decision! This smoker has truly transformed my outdoor cooking experience. The build quality is outstanding, with sturdy materials that feel incredibly durable. The unique ceramic design not only retains heat efficiently but the slow gives food a fantastic flavor. I've tried various meats, from ribs to brisket, and the results have been nothing short of amazing. The temperature control is spot-on, allowing me to achieve that perfect low-and-slow cook without any hassle. I also love the versatility of the K3; I can smoke, grill, or make pizza with it. Clean-up easy as well. The charcoal usage is efficient, and I appreciate how long it holds the heat. Overall, I highly recommend the Kamado Joe K3 to anyone looking to elevate their grilling and smoking game. It’s fun to use, and the flavor it imparts to food is truly exceptional. This smoker has definitely earned a permanent spot on my deck!
