Love My Joe Jr!!!
on March 1, 2024
Posted by: Pat.
from Springville Utah
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Joe Jr to add some quick grilling capabilities to my outdoor set up, and all I can say is I LOVE IT, but I'm going to say more🤣
My initial intentions were to use it on occasions when I wanted to sear something going on or coming off of my pellet smoker and I've found I use it in SO many other ways.
The Jr takes very little time to fire up, heats up quite quickly, and is so efficient I go through charcoal at a much slower pace than firing up the larger ones.
And it has WAY more room than what you would ever expect. I find myself cooking on it at times when I never would have before for these reasons, and as far as the price? Can't beat it! It's a great entry level to ceramic grills and is every bit as high quality as any of the other Kamado Joe product...quite a few people that I've talked to have larger ceramic grills and have still done as I did and purchased a Kamado JR and have had similar comments so I am quite confident in saying you won't regret getting one. Would I recommend it? Yes, and I have! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Long Lasting Grilling Goodness

from Summersville WV
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned my Classic Joe for 11 years now and it still cranks out the same quality of product as it did the first year I had it. If I ever have to to buy a new grill/smoker for any reason it will be a Kamado Joe. Great product with great accessories.

The Kamado Joe has made me a star!
on March 1, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first time I lade my eyes on the 18-inch Kamado Joe Classic I knew I had to have it. How could I miss it with its shinny vibrant red and thick ceramic walls. As a senior citizen, I have been grilling for most of my adult life on typical kettles, gas grills, and other outdoor ranges. The Kamado Joe would give me the opportunity to step up my game especially when it comes to slow cooking and smoking.
Although the Kamado Joe comes with a heavy duty steel cart, I keep it stationary under the roof of my veranda which allows me to cook under any weather conditions.
Even though the top dome is heavy I can open it with just my pinky finger thanks to the well balanced Air Lift hinge.
The three tier Divide and Conquer Cooking System is amazing! The versatile half-moon deflector plates make indirect cooking a breeze.
The two top and bottom adjustable vents along with the thick ceramic walls help in maintaining the desired target temperature. I have slow smoked brisket for twelve hours at 225º F without opening the dome. And I would still have coal left over that I can add to for another cook! That’s how efficient the Kamado Joe is.
I’m not a fan of charcoal, such as Kingsford due to the chemical process to make them, which can add an unwanted flavor to your food. Instead I use hardwood lump charcoal. Depending on what I cooking, I may throw in a chunk of apple wood or hickory. I have other hardwood chunks on hand such as peach, pecan and wild cherry. If I’m doing a quick grill such as burgers I may throw wood shavings of hickory in the drawer of the bottom vent. The burning embers fall into the tray and cause the shavings to smoke.
YouTube has several channels devoted to Kamado Joe which is a great source for tips, recipes and techniques.
The Kamado Joe has made me a star among my friends and neighbors!
I would recommend this to a friend!

from Acworth, Georgia
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this grill for Father's day in 2016 and it has been the bast purchase ever. It will not only increasing what you can cook, it will up your level of grilling. Everything coming off Big Joe is phenomenal. Be careful though, you will soon become your neighbor hood's best friend.

Best do all grill

from Columbia Louisiana
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was skeptical about such a expensive grill but after I started using it I realized how versatile it is. I've slow smoked briskets pork butts whole chickens direct grilled pork chops country style ribs and seared steaks like nobodies business. If you're looking for one grill that will pretty much do anything the Big Joe might be the right grill.
I would recommend this to a friend!
