I purchased my ClassicJoe in January of 2016 and haven’t regretted since. The only downside of the Kamado Joe is my wife continues telling everybody how great the meat is I cook on it. It seems like I’ve got too many new friends. All kidding asides the ClassicJoe is the real deal, it does everything it is touted to do and it does it all very well. Here in Maryland we get some wild seasonal weather changes. More than once I have shoveled snow in the winter around the Joe just to cook pork chops or chicken on it. We enjoy the flavor and dependable results of everything we cook on the ClassicJoe, from slow smoke pork shoulder, to brisket to steaks to pizza to burgers to veggies and on and on. If you need something to put on your Christmas list, a Kamado Joe is a good choice. Maybe Santa will bring me a BigJoe for Christmas.
I came from the Traeger Pellet Grill family - thought it was three best since sliced bread... later added a Blackstone griddle... well then if course had to research more into these Kamado type grills...
After intensive research through internet, YouTube and more, started narrowing it to the KJ... although I liked the features of the newer models: air hinge, etc..., the lower cost of the Classic I allowed me to buy a ton of accessories....
Long story short, I've had a blast learning the ins and outs of Kamado cooking... very well insulated, easy to get the hang of whether low and slow, grilling a burger, spinning a chicken or making a pizza - my KJ is ang awesome and fun tool!
My wife bought this for me several years ago for my birthday. After decades of cooking on gas grills, I needed to get back to my basics of cooking on charcoal like I did before gas grill were even available. This unit has has all the basics covered and more. Accessories such as the Do Joe, Jotisserie, Napolean basket make this about as versatile as you can get if you are a backyard barbecue wanna be like me.
My husband and I got a great deal on the Kamado Joe and we are so happy we got it. We have made a range of meals including steaks, vegetables, pork butts, napolean-style pizza, turkeys, beer can chicken, etc. The Kamado Joe is high quality and puts out excellent food. We are happy with the features and have even purchased some of the accessories. Our next grill will definitely be a Kamado Joe - we are hooked!
