Great Product. Love my new Kamado. I have owned a Large Big Green Egg for years and decided to go with the Big Joe this time. because of the extras being included making the final cost of the product less than going with the Big green Egg. I really don't care for the firebox on the Big Joe compared to the Big Green Egg. You have to worry about knocking the metal ring off the petals and its a pain to put together but I will get used to it. The deflector plate system does work better than the plate setter on a Big Green Egg since it covers more area and you can use just one for 2 zone cooking compared to the plate setter on the Big Green Egg.
I love this grill. This is the upgrade I been waiting for from the weber kettle. I only have one recommendation instead of two catches to hold the grill grates add 4-6 to secure the grates.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the Classic Joe I for the first time and it impressed me! Everything about it was great and it’s so enjoyable to use. Every other grill seems like it would be a downgrade.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The support community is great! The Big Joe is huge! I look forward to many years of cooking for the family
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My brother in law gave me the Joe Jr as a housewarming gift. I recently fired it up and smoked Dino Ribs on it then pulled out the deflector plate and grilled hamburgers, hotdogs, and sausages. This little grill flat out amazed me! It kept a perfect 250 degrees throughout the time I was smoking the ribs and then after adding a few more coals I was able to get it up to a nice hot temperature for grilling. I would say this is perfect for my wife and I and maybe another couple but would be small for a family gathering. For that I would definitely recommend the Original Joe or larger. Looking forward to many more outing on the Joe Jr!
