[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just stared on my kamado journey last week and I’m already cooking some of the best food. This grill makes great food easy.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had my Joe for around 7 years. It blows smoke like the day I bought it. Easy to regulate temp. Easy to clean. Smoking all night? No problem. Searing some steaks? Piece of cake. Covid sucked but I went through 200 lbs of Joe charcoal. You can't go wrong if you enjoy cooking!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was a gift and has been in heavy rotation. Holds temp for hours, burns hot when I want or low and slow either one.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was a general manager of a hardware store for a number of years and we were an authorized dealer for the Big Green Competitor. I must have built hundreds of the other guys grills, but at the end of the day I bought a Kamado Joe for myself. One of the most common ceramic components to crack inside the green guys grills was the firebox or the ceramic bowl at the bottom that holds the majority of the charcoal. The reason for that is because their firebox was all one piece. But with my Kamado Joe Classic, the firebox was engineered to be multiple pieces which reduces the likely hood of cracking over time. I’ve had the grill for over 6 years and use it year round in all temperature ranges and never have I had a single crack in the ceramics. I attribute it to the engineering of the interior pieces. On top of that, the Joe Classic came standard with side tables whereas the other guys grill you had to purchase those separately. Overall it’s a better design and the price you pay is great for what you get. I would buy this grill all over again but I’ll never have to thanks to the lifetime warranty!! Thanks Kamado Joe!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Initial impressions: Just recently bought this grill and it is so much more heavy duty than my old steel grill. My grill was missing the shelves, but warranty was quick and painless to get the replacement parts. Looking forward to testing out the grill.
