[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great grill my husband loves it. I got for Christmas and he was surprised He cooks chicken ,steaks ,and does great with hamburgers
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got my first Kamado saved up for it for almost 2 years ! Very pleased and I always recommend it to my peers
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given my KJ from a cousin who had been given it from my great uncle. They both said it took too long to heat up to cook and said I could have it. My dad has a BGE so I knew the magic of Kamado grills. I got the grill from my cousin and realized that he had been using briquettes and that all the ash kept the air holes of the charcoal plate clogged. It's hard to make heat without air! I love the grill and cook on it every week. Anything from Eastern NC bbq to leg quarters and meatloaf. The only upgrade that I've added was a stainless steel top vent in case it rained during a cook and it has worked out great. Now I want Big Joe for larger gatherings!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After years of wanting a Kamado Joe I was finally able to get one. I love it! Plus it's always great hearing my wife say worth it every time I cook on it.
Awesome KJ JR grill! Package was over the top. Value superlative. Have owned BGE that now lives with my son in law. He is jealous of my KJ JR! Would buy again!
I have owned my big Joe for more than 10 years, I think. I’m completely satisfied with it. I have cooked just about every kind of meat. You can imagine on it, from brisket to salmon, and it has never failed me. It comes up to the right temperature quickly and easily, and it holds that temperature literally for half a day. On some cooks that have gone six hours or more, I’ve set the temperature and put the meat on, and left the house to go play golf all day. When I come back, the temperature in the Joe is just where I left. It’s quite amazing.
I have owned a large BGE for about 15 years and wanted a smaller BBQ for our cottage. I purchased a Joe Jr. I am amazed at the quality of the BBQ and it is a perfect size for two people to make a full out BBQ with steaks, potatoes and veggies. If you have a few friends over it will hold 7 large burgers. The price was more than fair, quality exceptional and the extras that came with it (grill lifter, ash rod cleaner and round cooking stone) are awesome. The BGE came with no options. If I were buying a new large BBQ, it would not be the BGE! The Joe Jr. cooks flawlessly and the only bad thing about it is I have put on weight because of the great meals I have made. You will not go wrong buying a Joe Jr. or any of their other BBQs. Love my Joe Jr.!
