Cart is absolutely terrible

The grill is fine, but I can't believe with all the engineer attention this was given, KJ would plop a 500 lb grill into a cart made this cheap. Maybe they're hoping everyone breaks the ceramic and has to buy a new one. If you're doing anything other than rolling across baby butt smooth concrete, this cart is probably going to break.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A Symphony of Culinary Experience
on September 14, 2023
Posted by: Deletzel
from Virginia
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Kamado Joe Grill isn’t just another grill; it’s a masterpiece of design and functionality that caters to the very soul of barbecue enthusiasts.
Smoking Meat:
Diving deep into its prowess, I first tested the Kamado Joe’s smoking abilities. The thick ceramic walls trap heat, moisture, and flavor, ensuring an even and consistent temperature throughout the cooking process. This translates to beautifully smoked meats that are tender, juicy, and infused with that authentic smoky flavor. Whether it’s ribs, brisket, or poultry, this grill handles it all with ease, offering a robust flavor profile that puts conventional smokers to shame.

High-Temperature Steaks:
Transitioning from low and slow to searingly hot, the Kamado Joe’s capability to achieve incredibly high temperatures is awe-inspiring. Achieving that perfect Maillard reaction on your steaks becomes child’s play. The intense heat sears the meat quickly, locking in juices and creating a mouth-watering crust, giving you steakhouse-quality results in the comfort of your backyard.

Pizza Perfection:
But this grill isn’t limited to just meats. I was pleasantly surprised at its proficiency with pizzas. Using the Kamado Joe is akin to having your very own wood-fired oven. The ceramic dome reflects heat, which crisps up the base while ensuring an even bake on top. The result? A pizza with a perfectly charred crust, molten cheese, and toppings cooked to perfection. It’s a game-changer for homemade pizza nights.

Final Thoughts:
The Kamado Joe Grill isn’t just a grill, it’s an experience. It takes you on a culinary journey from the art of smoking to the thrill of high-heat grilling and the joy of wood-fired baking. Whether you’re a weekend griller or a seasoned pitmaster, the Kamado Joe is a worthy addition to any outdoor cooking setup, promising not just meals, but memories

Big Joe lll Review
on April 5, 2020
Posted by: Kevin
from Saginaw, TX
Gender:Male
I bought the Big Joe lll in January 2020. What intrigued me the most was the addition of the SloRoller. The technology of the SloRoller was to distribute smoke and heat in recirculating waves resulting in enhanced smoke flavor. This new technology works as advertised. I had a previous ceramic grill/smoker and didn't feel the smoke flavor was as good as on my offset stick smoker. That is no longer the case.
Also the new Big Joe lll requires very little assembly unlike many of the Kamado Joe competitors. Since purchasing the Big Joe Im haven't looked back and use it as may primary grill and smoker.

Watch videos online before trying to do anything

Verified Purchase:Yes
The instructions for unpacking the Kamado Joe are _inside_ the grill, so you won’t be able to read them until _after_ you’ve unpacked it! Watching an inboxing video would probably help a lot.

Kamado Joe Classic III - Awesome unit
on October 19, 2021
Posted by: C's BBQ
from North Potomac, MD
Gender:Male
Unit came packaged well, easy to assemble (you will need a friend to help move) and easy to use. Heavy duty metal on all grates, charcoal basket and side shelves. Smoked and grilled food are really moist and the slow roller makes for a nice smoke to food.

Love the grill. It came with a rusty spot and I'm still waiting for the new ring. For the price I expected no defects so that was disappointing and the reason for the lower rating. The grill itself is doing great things.

Last grill in my life
on August 22, 2024
Posted by: a780604a
from Frederick, MD
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Several times moving through states. I abandoned or sold old grills each time but I decided not to change any longer and to find very durable, heavy duty and worthy grill to be a last grill in my life. That was Kamado Joe Classic. No matter what I need if long time smoked or fast grilled, it works for everything at best condition at all the time. It also makes anything juicy, smoky and tender if it is on the grill. My guys always take a picture of steak on the Kamado Jo when I invited them at home. I REALLY love my grill and highly recommend it if you like to enjoy your own steak or any other smoked food with your family or friends at home.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Greatest Grill EVER
on March 31, 2020
Posted by: C4jokerkkrider
from Kaukauna, WI
Gender:Male
This grill is, without a remotely close second, the best grill I have ever owned.With as well built as it is, am likely to not likely to ever need to purchase another one. I can easily smoke a full brisket & a spatchcocked 20 lb turkey on this Bad Boy----need I say more. I recently did a Snake River Farms Wagoo Gold Briskett that I would have won The American Royal with had I been able to enter it!
