Like having a 4 star restaurant in your back yard

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.

The Ultimate Smoker & Grill
on August 26, 2025
Posted by: Mac6920
[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I spent a lot of time researching the different Kamado grills and I finally settled on the Kamado Joe Classic III. I have not been disappointed thus far. I have used it several times over the past month and I am very happy with the results. I love the various cooking methods that you can use on the grill as well as the numerous accessories available to fine tune and customize your cook. The only downside thus far is the fact that my other grills are collecting dust.

A beautiful looking grill with many uses.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose Kamado Joe because of the reviews being better than competitor brands. It is a beautiful grill and very versatile. I have the full grill and the Rotisserie Kit and our favorite accessory, the pizza oven kit. We get many compliments on this grill and people love the ability to cook pizzas!! It does so much. Smoking brisket, cooking prime rib, and so much more. Great investment for our outdoor kitchen.

Worth the money

I was a huge Traeger fan and skeptical on adding the Joe to my cooking station. I am beyond impressed and glad I spent the money. The best part is the rotisserie option!!!

Awesome Grilling!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 3 Kamado Joe grills and cook on them 3-4 nights a week. I recently purchased the Big Joe III and I am very impressed so far. I mostly do hot and fast cooks like steaks, burgers, and chicken. I am starting to tinker with low and slow cooking and this type of grill is very temperature stable once you learn how to properly adjust the dampers (refer to various videos on Youtube). What I was initially wondering is how long it takes to get this bigger grill up to temp. Surprisingly, it warms up to 500 degrees in about 15-20 minutes, which works great for nightly cooks. Everything on these grills is built super heavy duty. There are some occasional maintenance items that you may need to look after, like the dome gasket, which is available for purchase on their parts site. I have had many types/brands of grills over the years and these are by far my favorite.

Does EVERYTHING well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have & have had several other "grills" & cooking devices. Pellets, blackstone, offset, propane...they all have their "thing" they do better than everything else. But this ceramic does everything I've asked it to do as well as or better than the specialty things. Size/capacity is the only downside I've ran into. Sometimes I like to cook for groups & it doesn't have the capacity. But tase is ALWAYS off the charts.
