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!

Bakes a great pizza, but it WILL ruin your Kamado.

We used this on 4 occasions, and it cooked great pizza each time. However after the that 4th cook our lower gasket, on a pretty new Kamado Joe Classic II, just fell off. After researching this more, I found this is pretty much to be expected if you use the DoJoe. If you can accept this, and don't mind frequently re-gasketing your Kamado, then the DoJoe is excellent, as it does bake great pizza. I am only giving it a poor rating for design because it damages the Kamado, not because it doesn't function well.

Thank you for taking the time to review our product. The high heat used for cooking pizza can dry out the adhesive and we would recommend keeping glue on hand to reapply. We offer a 2 year warranty on our gaskets. Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance.

Makes a great pizza

We have used this 3 times. It makes great wood-fired pizzas. When it is 500-550 deg. F, it takes about 8 minutes per pizza. I have had a little trouble keeping it up to 500 deg. Seems to need quite a bit of charcoal. Maybe I just need to load it up more. It is quite heavy to insert and take out. Maybe it is more of a 2 person job. Can be done while hot. Quick-start instructions were good.

Killer pizzas!

Makes great pizzas, love how you don't have to fiddle around with the lid. Just get it rolling and your good to go. I got this so I could make multiple pizzas for the kids and family quickly and conveniently. I would recommend a longer pizza peel especially if your using this on the big joe. My only issue is that you can't close the dome up after cooking. End up wasting a lot of charcoal, especially on the big joe. Would love to see some sort of cover for the front to seal it up.

Love the DoJoe! Pizza tastes like classic wood fired pizza! Few concerns: 1) the stone gets hot over time, so you have to find the sweet spot to not burn your crust. 2) when your finished, the fire goes until you are out of fuel because of the open front. You can’t snuff it out early, an add-on of a front opening closure would be great!

Thought it would be great, but realized it wasn't.

I think I was just excited to be able to use the Kamado as a pizza oven. I should have done more research. This thing really beat up the gasket and the felt appears to be coming up near the back of the Kamado. I'm considering not ever using it again as I don't think I want to replace the gasket prematurely. During the cook, it started to not fit properly and there were gaps opening around the area of the Kamado that met with the top of DoJoe. I tried to reset it but it did not help. I realized afterwards that this was the gasket getting beat up. I'm disappointed in this product. The Kamado (big Joe) is amazing and I think these types of gimmicks are just not worth it. I see that it would just cause unnecessary wear. I'll just try to make pizza without this accessory (expen$ive lesson learned). Others noted you cannot properly cool down the coals which is 100% correct. I think this added to the gasket damage. Maybe it works well for others, but I know over time the gasket will need replacing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

No Go DoJoe

Great concept but lacking a key flaw to be considered a true pizza oven. To cook traditional Neapolitan pizza temperatures need to be in excess of 750 degrees and while the Kamado Joe can reach that temp; cooking pizza requires the heat to radiate from above the pie. When the temp in the kamado is high the stone gets to temp but the dome does not and you end up with a burnt crust on the bottom before the ingredients on the top cook. Probably better used for deep dish pizza.

the DoJoe is not strictly necessary (you can rig a setup with the pizza stone alone), but it sure is a fun accessory. Worked really well and kept the bottom of the pizza evenly crispy. Can be a little hard keeping the temperature from dropping after cooking more than 3 pizzas
