The Best

I got my Kamado Joe Classic II in 2019. Couldn’t be happier. I’ve had the different colored ceramic cooker of the same size for many years prior. Hands down the Kamado Joe was it not only better on press, but also accessories out of the box. No need to buy tons of accessories to get started. I was skeptical of the multi-piece firebox at first, but it’s so much better than the one piece firebox the competition offers that will crack into multiple pieces. If you’re looking at getting a ceramic cooker, Kamado Joe is the way to go. If you’re looking at an outdoor cooker, Kamado Joe is the way to go. I live in Wyoming that has extreme temperatures and wind. The weight and insulation factor of a ceramic cooker is tops. I’ve Smoked and grilled in temperatures well below zero. The typical thin metal smokers have challenges holding heat in the frigid temperatures. I leave my Kamado Joe out all year. It’s been through 80mph winds and still standing. The neighbors cannot leave their grills out or they tip over or blow away.

Had a Big Green Egg and Converted to the Kamado Jo

The features that convinced me to switch to the Kamado Joe included the air lift hinge which made it so easy to open and close the top without fear that the top would come crashing down, the divide and conquer cooking racks which allowed me to cook several different items at different temperatures, the control tower vent system that allowed me to open the grill without losing the vent position, the mesh gasket that provided a superior seal to the grill, and the stainless charcoal basket that collected the charcoal remains easily making cleaning a breeze. The Kamado Joe is a game changer. I have been so pleased with the grill that I’ver recommended it to all my friends who now use the Kamado Joe.I

Smoking Grill!

I'm 2 weeks into the KJII; I absolutely love it. It makes me wonder how I got along with the gas grills all these years. I find it very versatile with the smoking options and with just plain grilling and cooking.

Next Level Grilling!
on April 23, 2025

I've had my KJ ClassicII since early January of 2025. I'm learning how to best utilize my KJ by trying different kinds of meats to grill, using both indirect and direct/indirect methods. I have YET to make a disappointing meal with my KJ, and I'm looking forward to many more cooks on it - in fact, my wife's birthday is this weekend, and she's getting a plate of beef short ribs that I'll fire up very early and hopefully smoke to perfection - the KJ makes that task so much easier than any grill I've ever owned before!
I'd been looking at, researching, and wanting a ceramic grill for several years now, and I'm more than happy with my purchase of the KJ ClassicII. The thing is even self-cleaning! As a huge seafood fan, I'm looking forward to getting the half moon soapstone for Salmon and other fine fish, as well as scallops and anything else I can use it for!
I have no accessories to review except what the KJ ClassicII came with, but am very much looking forward to adding KJ accessories to my grilling arsenal. The Joetisserie is way up high on my list of add-ons, as are the soapstone and the cast iron griddle, as time and funding permits.
Thanks for a Great Product, Kamado Joe! BEST GRILL I'VE EVER OWNED.

I bought this about a month ago and couldn’t be happier. I’m 65 and have been grilling since I was 13 yrs old. Love the juicy flavors I easily get when using this grill. Can’t wait to see what awesome things I can cook up with it!

Changes the way you cook!

Have owned my big Joe for about 3 years. Was new to ceramic style grills and to slow cooking. Learning curve to figure out heat control but once you do, can’t be easier or safer. And the quality becomes restaurant quality right away. I will say the big Joe may have been overkill for us and does need a good amount of fuel to heat up - but love it when we have a gathering !

I have 5 grill options between a smoker, gas Weber, Blackstone and 2 Kamado's(Classic II and Joe Jr.) The Classic II is my go to option for most of my cooking. If I had to only keep one grill this would be the one!! You can cook anything on it and gives you the ultimate control and does well to feed my family of 6.
