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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this about 6 months ago and I am so happy I did. Best grill ever. I have done several top-notch cooks, including steaks, pull pork, pizza, bread, lamb shoulder, beef jerky, salmon, branzino, sea bass, tuna, smoked ribs, brisket, vegetables, etc.

A Culinary Marvel for Every Occasion

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Kamado Joe Big Joe III is more than just a grill—it’s a culinary powerhouse that has transformed my cooking experience. As someone who loves hosting family gatherings, neighborhood events, and celebrating special occasions, this grill has become an indispensable part of my outdoor cooking arsenal.
What I Like:
1. Versatility: The Big Joe III is like having a Swiss Army knife for grilling. It’s not just a grill; it’s a smoker, a roaster, and even a pizza oven. From slow-smoked briskets to perfectly seared steaks, this grill handles it all.
2. Generous Cooking Area: With its large cooking surface, I can prepare meals for a crowd without feeling cramped. Whether it’s Thanksgiving dinner or a summer barbecue, there’s ample space to cook everything simultaneously.
3. Smart Design: The fiberglass gasket and thick ceramic shell create a tightly sealed grill that locks in heat and moisture. Plus, the air-lift hinge makes opening and closing the lid a breeze.
4. SloRoller Hyperbolic Smoke Chamber: This innovative feature ensures even smoke distribution, resulting in mouthwatering flavors. My ribs, chicken, and pulled lamb shoulder have never tasted better.
5. Temperature Control: The Big Joe III maintains consistent temperatures, whether I’m slow-cooking overnight or searing steaks at high heat. It’s a precision instrument for grillmasters.

What I Don’t Like (Honestly, It’s Hard to Find Faults):
1. It’s BIG!: Well, the name says it all. The Big Joe III is substantial, so make sure you have enough space in your backyard. But trust me, the cooking real estate is worth it.

Cooking Adventures with the Big Joe III
Let me share some memorable cooking experiences:

2. Pulled Pork: The Big Joe III turned a pork shoulder into melt-in-your-mouth perfection. The bark was incredible!
3. Steaks, Surf and Turf: Whether it’s a ribeye or a lobster tail, the grill’s versatility shines. Perfect grill marks every time.
4. Roast Dinner: Imagine a whole chicken with crispy skin, roasted veggies, and that unmistakable charcoal flavor. The Big Joe III delivers.
5. Moroccan Style Pulled Lamb Shoulder: Exotic spices, slow-cooked tenderness—my guests raved about this dish.
6. Ribs, Chicken Pieces, Rolled Lamb Leg, Even Cold Smoked Bacon: The possibilities are endless.

Worth every penny!
on March 1, 2024
Posted by: DonF.
from South Carolina
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always felt that wood grills have a superior flavor to gas grills, no matter what tricks you try to use with gas grills and wood chunks or smoke generators. I bought my Kamado Joe to reverse sear Sous Vide steaks and man, the flavor is out of this world! There is no char I have ever been able to match against my Kamado Joe. It is simply the best, and I have tried quite a few, including smokers. It has become my favorite grill in a very short time. I would buy this again.

Great Smoker/Grill
on March 1, 2024

from Fort Worth, TX
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this two years ago and have loved it! It is a large smoker/grill but I have been happy I got this size. There are times when I need all of the space. The flavor the Kamado produces is excellent! I am to the point I can cook better tasting food than going out to eat.

The quest for grilling nirvana ends here!
on March 1, 2024
Posted by: AndyB
from Chicago Suburbs
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you're looking for the grill you've always dreamed of, your quest ends with a Big Joe III! It's got everything you'll need: tops in performance, features, capacity, flexibility, quality... It's really hard to hit the bull's eye on three, much less four, of these arenas, but the folks at KJ really nailed with the BJIII: they stuck the landing on all five!
Performance is there: it'll reach- and accurately hold- any temperatures you need, all the way from low-and-slow cooks up to inferno mode and searing. Unlike a lot of other competing grills, BJ III comes with all the features/ accessories you'll need to get started grilling. Of course, you'll want to add accessories, but what comes with the grill will more than get you started on your way to grilling happiness.
Capacity? No problem! This thing is big enough for 5 - 6 (or more) racks of ribs, huge briskets, or maybe even an ostrich. Flexibility for all kinds of cooks (e.g., rotisserie, low-and-slow, open fire, you name it) is easy with this grill.
Finally, quality: you're going to love the fit and finish of this thing. All of the materials and workmanship are first-rate. It's already stood up to the rigors of year-round grilling in the balmy weather of Chicago. Minus 18 degree F outside? That might be a problem for the grill chef, but it won't be for the grill: I know firsthand...
In short, if you're looking for the top of the mountain when it comes to grills, look no further- this is the last grill you'll ever have to buy. Until, of course, KJ comes out with Big Joe IV!
