Customer Reviews for KAMADO JOE - Big Joe grill pizza ring and baking stone - Black

I am very disappointed with this product. Not worth the money. looks nice but you can get the pizza stone for much cheaper and save some money and it will do exactly the same. I have a difficult time getting the heat over 550F. I guess I expected much more, from this
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for taking the time to review this product. The grill should heat to higher temperatures, even with the DoJoe in place. The unit should be preheated before adding the pizza stone, as this will block some heat from rising above. Please contact our Support team so we can troubleshoot and rectify this temperature variation you are seeing.

It’s the expected high quality materials from Kamado Joe. As a rookie pizza griller, I find it difficult to manage the pizza in the narrow opening, which was made easier when I got a peel that actually fit (as opposed to the one they sell). My only other issue is that it’s a bit difficult to get the heat deflectors in and out. But my pizzas have turned out good, despite my issues loading/unloading the grill. Any issues are largely my lack of experience and not the DoJoe.

Great attachment for pizza lovers but not perfect

Having used this attachment 4 times I can confidently say that it is worth it. The flavor of the pizzas coming out the DoJoe is delicious (woodfired pizza). We can't go back to the kitchen oven again. There are a couple of things I don't like which may/may not be a deal breaker for some: There is a design flaw on this attachment - to get the best use of the hot surface, there is need to load a lot of coal in the basket (my Classic 3 needs almost the entire basket to reach 500F). Once I finish my cook (2 Pizzas), there is no way to block airflow completely so ~50% of the coal goes to waste. I have to believe there is a way to design the DoJoe with a lid or something to help shut down the unused coals. My second issue is the coating - it peels off easily. After my last cookout, I realized that my aluminum pizza peel (needed to turn and take out the pizzas) completely peeled off the coating in several places - my hope is that this area doesn't rust (I doubt it).
I would recommend this to a friend!

This product is easy to use. Cooking a pizza is a breeze and a lot of fun.
I have a big Jimie so I can cook large pizza.

Works even better than I expected. Kept a perfect 650 degrees for 5 pizzas and I could have kept on going!

Absolutely a disaster

I bought this after having a classic II for two years. Love the Kamado otherwise. Tried pizza on it for a few years with the pizza stone and deflectors with mixed results. So I thought it would be an upgrade. The biggest challenge was getting the pizza on and off the grill. So I thought the front opening would be compatible with the pizza peel they sell. Nope. Not at all. So now trying to get the pizza off is a disaster
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Make better pizza without the dojoe

The dojoe is a capable tool for making pizza, but I'm not sure it's necessary. There's multiple videos online with people making pizza without a dojoe where the user can achieve higher temperature than what the dojoe allows. Regularly using the dojoe will probably mean you'll be replacing your gaskets regularly as well as it seems to cause them to detach/burn the adhesive. Using a dojoe requires a massive load of lump, and there's no easy way to shut down the fire when you're done without letting your whole load burn unnecessarily (I use bbq pit gloves to pull it off and even though I only lift it for about three seconds before setting it on my cast iron table it still burns through them despite being rated for 1400°). The thing is big, and you'll need somewhere to store it.
As for the good about the dojoe, well, it works as advertised. Just don't go above 550 or you'll lose a gasket.
I regret purchasing the dojoe. Not because it doesn't work, but because of how limiting and unnecessary it is.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
