The best Grill I have ever owned

I’m 40 and threw down 3k for this monster. I owed it to myself to get this. Once you have enough lump coal set to your standard, you cannot mess it up. I cooked my neighbor the “best baby backs ribs” she had ever had and all I did was just put them on with temperature/ time control.
Buy this masterpiece. What a company.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Way easier than I expected!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was initially reluctant to buy what seemed like a completely different grill because I was concerned I wouldn’t know how to use it properly. So glad I went ahead! The temperature control is SO easy, and its the flame deflectors make it simple to avoid burning. Plus the insulation and inductive heating allows you to keep the meat moist when slow cooking. These grills are brilliant and mine makes me look like an expert!

Great kamado, no assembly or use instructions
on September 12, 2023
Posted by: SFGljfkg
Great kamado. Great build quilt. Very high quality materials all around. Biggest complaint — the user manual is nearly useless. It’s is about 250 pages, but doesn’t even tell you how to put the grill together. 6 pages of some unhelpful drawings, with no assembly instructions. The remaining 244 pages are the same drawings, in different languages (but almost no words. Really bizarre). I literally had to use YouTube for assembly instructions. The manual does not even tell you how to use the various accessories, nor how to install them. Also, the installation of the ceramic “petals” in the fire box is super janky, They don’t really fit together well, so all of the assemblies on top of the fire box are unstable and wiggle around when cooking. After I tho0ught I was done i had left over parts and no idea what they were for. In hindsight, assembly is involved but not terrible. I spent more time watching YouTube videos.

Incredible value!

Posted by: TXJosh
from Houston, TX
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve own my BJ3 for close to 5 years now and can’t recommend it enough. So much so that I also picked up a Joe Jr a year later.
The surface area to smoke a brisket or grill chicken while conserving charcoal is perfect. Ceramic holds the cook chamber temperature incredibly consistent with proper vent adjustment, two fingers open on the bottom and to the first mark on the tower.
The only issues I’ve noticed is how hard it is to align the firebox ceramics with the stainless steel cap after cleaning which needs to be done at least once a year to clean out any ash that has settled behind the ceramics. The steel stand also chips and rusts fairly easily so be sure to take care of your stand.
I spent a lot of time researching and comparing ceramic grills before choosing my BJ3. The included accessories, size and value for the price was unmatched. I couldn’t be happier!

from Tonawanda NY
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my Kamado Joe Classic III 2 years ago WOW what a way to step up your game in the world of smoking. I went with the Classic III because of the accessories that came with it. The sloroller, 3-Tier Divide & Conquer Cooking System,Stainless Steel Charcoal Basket with the 1/2 basket separator. I now have control over all of my cooking / Smoking all on my Kamado Joe Classic III at 3 different levels of heat, This makes everything simple. I have added the Pizza DoJoe & Joetisserie to expand everything I can do with my Kamado Joe Classic III

Cadillac of Grills
on March 1, 2024
Posted by: Janice B
from South Texas
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this grill, I call it the Cadillac bc of how smooth and easy it is to run. Ive never had a grill that was truly this easy. It honestly runs itself once you get your target temp set up which is pretty easy to do. Ive cooked countless meals on this KJC3, both hot & fast and long slow cooks. And while accessories are not needed to put on the table an excellent beautifully cooked meal the accessories are full of fun too. You just can't beat the value you get.

Best Gift Ever Received
on March 11, 2024
Posted by: Dremundo
from Miramar,FL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A very Happy Husband here. My wife bought this as a Birthday gift now 2 years ago. I have not gone one weekend without firing up my Joe III! I have learned to smoke all kinds of meats, and have become that "grill dad". The immense heat that can be built in this thing is amazing. Steakhouse searing for the ribeyes and strips, low and slow for pork butts, and the cast iron plate for smash burgers and seafoods. There is nothing negative to say about the grill, it is used every weekend, heck I even made bread and pizza during Covid days. I hear people say, "oh you have the expensive grill" well the price is paid back at the value and quality of the build and results of amazing foods! I even have gone as far as become a gardener and make smoked peppers and salsa, again, unless possibilities and I LOVE my Kamado Joe almost as much as the person who bought it for me. ;-) Happy Spouse Happy House lol

Best Kamado on the Market!
on August 23, 2024
Posted by: Collins
from Raleigh, NC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nothing better! After hearing my buddies rave about Kamado cooking I bought a Classic 3. The past few months we’ve used it at least once a week. Last night’s spatchcock chicken with salmon appetizer was a hit with my picky 5y/o and more picky wife.
Honestly everything I’ve cooked on the KJ has been some of the best food we’ve prepared at home and rivals local restaurants. There’s no shortage of recipes and tips online through the community.
The Classic 3 has some awesome features between air hinge, lid clasp, mesh gasket, upgraded cart, and the slo roller. Really an awesome value compared to other options on the market. It just feels premium.
Grab one and get outside!
