[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this Joe for years and it never disappoints me. You can go low and slow for great Texas Brisket or crank it up for steak. Once you learn to control the air, it is almost set and forget. It will easily go all night on a load of lump charcoal too.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] versatile, you can fit a lot of food on a small footprint smoker/grill. fantastic with expansion upper level grate addition
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had my Kamado Joe classic I for 3 years. I use it at least twice a week and my food is consistently great. I have had propane, pellet, charcoal grills and none of them can compare with my Kamado Joe. I was intimidated when I first bought it, but there are so many YouTube tutorials to get me started. I wish I would have bought one sooner and my family prefers to eat at home instead of going out.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought our Kamodo Joe last summer. It was to be used for occasional smoking on a long weekend. We use it all of the time! Love this thing and can’t wait to keep exploring with it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I finally bought the Classic Joe after months of research. I wanted a grill/smoker that I could learn on considering I’m overall new to smoking. I knew I wanted a kamado and I knew I wanted it to last since there are so many cheap versions on the market.
4 months later and I couldn’t be happier about my decision. I use this thing about 4x a week and I don’t ever get tired of the results. Once you get the hang of controlling your temps you’re only limited by your own stomach. I’ve smoked the best whole chickens, pork butts, briskets (well brisket still needs work but you get the point). Don’t even get me started on the perfect searing I’ve been getting. Regardless of if I’m smoking or grilling I have yet to find a downside to this grill.
I am so addicted to the results and I just keep buying more attachments for this thing. The half-moon griddle attachment lets me create my breakfast sandwiches on the weekend and the pizza attachment now saves me from mediocre/expensive pizza places.
Overall the kamado joe has blown away my expectations. I can’t say enough good things and I think this a perfect start to my addiction.
