The Kamado Joe has made me a star!
on March 1, 2024
Posted by: Bower

[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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] loved my classic ii so much, decided to add a joe jr since i found a great deal on one. can hang with the bigger options, but works out to save time and fuel when cooking a small meal. don’t be fooled by the size, it’s a great grill

Best grill in the world

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.

Kamado Joe Jr
on March 1, 2024

from Nevada
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have not used my Kamado Joe Jr yet and it is already showing signs of many small crack lines on the glazing throughout the lid. I have seen you tube videos from Smoking Dad BBQ. So I am hoping the first time i use it it wont fully crack. I am waiting on the arrival og the new Kamado Joe Jr stand to arrive.

Great Grill and smoker

from Noblesville In.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Joe 5 years ago and enjoy grilling, smoking and also using it for a flat top with the 1/2 moon cast iron. It is so versatile. I use my wok on it also. I took the grill out east with me at Thanksgiving one year and now I can not go out there with out bringing the Joe. 4 day weekend of Pork butt, Smoked Salmon, smoked turkey, Pizza and wings. Versatile! I just love to cook on it. coming up is making bacon and smoked Corned beef.
