Great grill

This grill is massive and I love how easily it maintains the temperature without using much charcoal. It’s heavy but if well maintained it feels like it will last forever.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have nothing but success using this smoker. And when someone else eats from it, it sparks lots of conversation.

Having a great time but, regardless of how many video clips you watch, temperature control takes practice. Get the Junior

I have 6 smokers/ grills. Even though I have none of the accessories besides a nest. My Kamado Joe junior will always be my favorite.

Great Features!

We have had our Komodo Joe for a few years now and still love it as much as the day we got it. Very easy to use and set up for each cooking session. The temperature is easy to maintain using both the upper vent and the lower vent. It maintains the heat of the wood charcoal as we sometimes will cook a couple of dishes or more for a meal or event. Love ours and recommend to many friends and family.

I have 2 Joe Jr's. These are incredibly fuel efficient and easy to use grills. They're quick to get up to temp and quick to shut down. Because of this I often use the Jr along side my Classic 1 to cook a side dish while I'm using the rotisserie on the Classic. The Jr on the Kamado Joe Jr cart is also where my 11 yr old daughter learned how to grill because the overall height is perfect for her.
In my opinion there are still a few cons to the Jr. One is, this actually applies to all Kamado Joe grills, the inability to pick up/out the entire grate assembly (the rack, grates with food on them, whatever deflector setup you're using) to either add more lump charcoal or add smoking wood if needed. You basically have to perform open heart surgery with 200-500 degree objects mid-cook to adjust/fix any issues you may have. The doesn't happen all the time but it would be nice if grate assembly's already accounted for this.
Another con is when you want to travel with the Jr. I always have to completely remove all ceramic parts from each other in fear of breaking. I wish there was a slightly oversized padded object that would be placed in the dome with straps to hold the dome closed with enough pressure to keep ceramics from moving too much.

Overall, there are far more pros than there are cons with any of the Kamado Joes.
