Bought this smoker over a month ago, wish I would have purchased it years ago. I am finally able to control temperatures within a few degrees. So far my longest cook has been 6 hours and temp never varied once set adjusted to 220 degrees.
I bought my first Kamado Joe a month ago and was surprised how easy it was to control the temperature and use. Our maiden voyage was to reverse searing a NY Strip and was blown away of how good it was!! Highly recommend this to anyone who likes to grill, smoke and all of the above.
I started with a steel kamado, and while it worked ok, nothing replaces ceramic. Temp control, insulation, heat retention, and a sealed environment are the reasons I was interested (along with grilling versatility) and I was not disappointed. It’s been a short while but so far this grill can handle everything. I am very happy with my purchase.
I have used many different types of grills over the years and always preferred to use natural woods or charcoals instead of manufactured chips or pellets. I have finally found the "Holy Grail" of grills that allow me to do just that and have incredible control over the temperatures with such versatility. Low and slow or hot and fast. All possible in one unit. While not inexpensive, you get what you pay for!
slo roller disfigured and didn't go over the max temp.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I am so sorry to hear your SloRoller is damaged. We would be happy to assist with a warranty claim. Our team has reached out through your email to begin service. Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance.
Everything went great except for never receiving the fire starts and due to covid the driver signing the ticket so no way to get a refund but other than that everything was fine
I have been following Kamado Joe for a couple of years. My WSM had become too leaky and it was tough to maintain temps. It’s expensive but such a joy to cook with. I’ve started to rearrange my weekends for my cooks. It’s easy to use and very versatile. In the first six weeks I’ve done the slow and low using the slo roller (tri tip, pork shoulder, brisket), pizza (using the DoJoe at 600°!), and roitisserie (wings and al pastor tacos using the Joetisserie). I can’t adequately explain how awesome each of these turned out. I follow some YouTube videos and the rest is easy. I even enjoy cleaning it out! So again, don’t hesitate, just buy it!
