Just can let it cool down!!!!

I received this as a gift from my wife 4 years ago to be part of my newly built outside kitchen and it has been a treat for an simple day dinner or the main attraction during a friends get-together. From a brisket to a carne asada or a rotisserie with a pizza as an appetizer it has been a great addition to our home as is hard to believe that we prefer our Big Joe over the other available options we also have such as the gas grill or the pizza oven, I can't even remember if in the whole last year had to buy any propane for these as the Big Joe hardly cools down when is ready to go again!
I would recommend this to a friend!

For the past 8 years We have grilled , smoked, slow cooked, & made amazing pizza's ( Mac and Cheese , & Alfredo pizzas are the bomb) and our KAMADO JOE has never let us down . With no more then the basic care and maintenance ,cleaning and covering ( we did replace the lid gasket) . This grill is BULLET PROOF.

I’ve had Little Joe Jr for 4 yrs now. Awesome little smoker/griller. Easy to load up in the Truck/RV for camping or any other event you might have goin on. At the beginning I was a little worried about keeping the temp were it needed to be but it’s right on every time. I’ll take BIG RED over Big green any day

I thought about buying this grill for probably 6 years. I finally got around to it last year. My steaks are so good now that I refuse to buy one at a restaurant, Mine are much better. This grill has changed cooking for me.

Awesome grill stands the test of time

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Big Joe is a fantastic grill for the money. My grill is over ten years old with hundreds of cooks and im only now having to do work on it. Holds temp perfectly with long cook times!

Small Size. Serious Performance.

I've owned a few barbecues over the years, but the Joe Jr with cast iron stand genuinely surprised me. For a compact unit, it delivers exceptional heat control and consistency. It comes up to temperature quickly, holds it effortlessly, and the ceramic build quality feels solid and premium.
The cast iron stand gives it real presence and stability, and it's ideal for smaller gatherings, quick weekday cooks, or taking away if needed. I've used it for steaks, chicken, low and slow cooks and even pizza, and it performs brilliantly every time.
What stands out most is the flavour. The airflow control makes a noticeable difference, and once you learn the vents, it becomes incredibly intuitive to manage.
Compact, powerful and beautifully made. I would absolutely recommend it.
