Best purchase ever!!

After owning several grills, smokers and pellet grills I finally bought a Kamado Joe. I can tell you with 100% accuracy I will never buy another grill! The simplicity and ability to control all aspects of the cook is beyond anything else on the market. I use it several times a week in all kinds of weather and my food always comes out perfect.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome grill

My wife got this for me as a Father's Day gift and it immediately became my favorite grill. Also purchased the rotisserie and DoJoe accessories, makes the grill much more versatile. DoJoe cooks a pizza in 5 minutes and the flavor is phenomenal, and have made many meals with the rotisserie with all coming out fantastic. The multi tier grate system is the only way I cook steak now, could not possibly be happier with this grill

I bought this smoker for my husband for Christmas and he swore I bought it for myself -- this smoker has changed his thoughts on smoked meats. Now, I can barely even get to use it, he's using it so often!!! We love it!

Great Grill for getting started in outdoor cooking! Looking back, I do wish I would have bought the Big Joe just for the amount of food I cook.

Everything grill

Kamado style grills first caught my attention watching BBQ videos on YouTube. I had a Weber gas grill and a Weber Kettle in my back yard. I was intrigued by the traditional cooking style along with the modern features. After I bought it, it became the only grill I used. I eventually gave away my two Weber grills and relied only on my KJ Classic 2. I really appreciate the ability to close the vents to save charcoal for later cooks. Besides being a great grill, it is a superior smoker and a great oven. I’ve even made cookies in the KJ. The only thing is if you are going to use the divide and conquer for two zone cooking, the classic 2 can be tight for more than two steaks. Families of 4 or more may want to consider the Big Joe.

From skeptic to fanatic

Let me start by confessing that I didn't but my Joe new. I was skeptical about people's claims that Kamado grills were almost as easy as pellet grills and I always felt like people were over selling the their cooking results for Youtube fame. However, after hearing a trusted friend explain what he was doing with his Big Green egg, I had to try it for myself. Weary as I was, I didn't want to spend the big $ for a new Kamado. You know, in case I hated it. So, I found myself a used Kamado Joe Classic 2, for a couple hundo and hauled it home. I performed a cleaning burn as my friend suggest and got it ready for my first cook.
I'm known for my ribs which I've always cooked in a wood fired smoker or pellet grill with a smoke tube. So, after watching a few instructional Youtube videos, I fired it up and threw on a rack of pork spare ribs.
Using only the standard rack and heat deflector setup with a drip pan, and nothing but the leftover Big Block and a few small chunks of hickory that came with the grill, I produced a flawless rack of the best ribs I've ever made. You can't beat the flavor of a charcoal fire and the moisture that the food holds while cooking in this thing is amazing.
Since that fateful day, I haven't even taken the cover off my gas grill or my pellet smoker. I've since invested in a Joetisserie, pizza stone, grill expander, Kickash can, charcoal basket with divider, and the soapstone, with which I am producing some absolutely fantastic steaks and chops.
I'm am now "all in" on the Kamado thing, and currently saving my ducats for a new series 3.
I glad that I found a Kamado Joe rather than a Green Egg because I absolutely love the versatility of the divide and conquer rack system and the control tower top vent. With a hand torch and just a little TLC, this grill is so much easier to operate than I thought it would be and really not hard to clean at all.
Now I'm addicted to Kamado cooking and stoked to continue finding new and unique ways to cook my favorite meals. Hopefully I can save up enough money to upgrade this year.
