Superb Grill
Would RecommendAfter having the Big Joe 3, Classic and Joe Jr for almost 4 years, I gave away the Classic and purchased the Classic 2. My Classic was my workhorse, followed by the Big Joe then the Joe Jr. Now with the Classic 2 filling in for the Classic with its additional features, I’m back in action. Grilled 3 baby backs its first cook and they were delicious.

So fun to cook on
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This took a few weeks for it to be delivered, but it was well worth the wait. I don't have a ton of experience in grilling, so this was a bit of a leap of faith. But I made the best potatoes of my life on this thing. And it was so fun to cook over an open flame. The setup can be a little daunting, so I'd recommend watching a YouTube video. But overall, I'm so happy I bought this. I can't wait to try out additional recipes in the future.

My favorite way to cook
Would RecommendI have it all. Smoker, grill, Griddle, and my Classic II is my favorite way to cook. Accessories are great and the grill is very versatile, although I will admit I have not used it as a classic smoker yet.

Best Smoker I Have Ever Owned
Would RecommendThe Kamado Joe has elevated my smoking experience. Briskets come out tender and juicy, with just the right amount of smoke. Ribs do NOT burn and turkey on Thanksgiving has never been better. I even do Pizzas for the gang as an appetizer and all love it. Best grill ever.

Super versatile and easy to use
Would RecommendI have had the Classic Joe for 3 years and has been my primary cooking grill during that time, taking the place of my propane BBQ and Trager pellet grill. Once the temp is set you can walk away, knowing that everything is going to be alright.

Texas Grilling Done Right
Would RecommendWe absolutely love our Kamado Joe charcoal grill — it’s the only grill we use anymore. My husband is a true Texas griller, and this grill delivers every single time. There is just something about cooking over real charcoal, and the Kamado Joe makes it incredibly easy to control temperature while still giving you that authentic wood-fired flavor. It especially shines with tomahawk steaks — perfectly seared on the outside with a deep, rich crust and unbelievably juicy inside. But it’s not ju...

8 years and going strong!!
Would RecommendI purchased my KJ Classic Joe II in 2018 and I have ran way over 1,000 cooks on it. From quick cooks to low and slow cooks, this KJ II has been on point each time. Proper maintenance has kept my KJ in tip top form.

Just about 10 years old and still going great

Best investment for my backyard!
Would RecommendI’ve had my Classic Joe Series II for a few years now, and it has completely changed how I cook outdoors. The air lift hinge is a total game-changer—I can lift the lid with a single finger. It holds temperatures incredibly well, whether I'm doing a low-and-slow brisket or searing steaks at high heat. The Kontrol Tower top vent is also great for keeping settings consistent even if it’s raining. If you’re on the fence, just get it. The build quality is top-notch and the food tastes significantly b...

Simply Incredible
Would RecommendFantastic looking, incredibly efficient and creates some of the best food we've ever eaten. Great for smoking, cooking and warming food. Absolutely stunning piece of kit.

Very versatile, but with a couple quirks
Would RecommendWorks great at from low to high temps (250 F to 800+ F). The two tier cooking is nice and use of the deflector plates offers a lot of versatility for direct and indirect smoking to high temp grilling. Very solid and when adjusted properly, it will be airtight when finished cooking to save charcoal. The quirks are having the side tables made of plastic, rather than heat proof metal, and especially having all four wheels able to spin making it sometimes squirrels to maneuver, especially into a sma...

Easy to use!
Would RecommendSo glad I finally bought one! By far the easiest grill I’ve owned to maintain a temperature over a long period of time. Wether cooking burgers or ribs they come out perfect every time. I use it all year round. In summer and in the snow of winter! Works great all the time!

Best Ceramic grill on the market!
Would RecommendI have had my Kamodo Joe classic for about 9 years now.I bbq a lot at least once and sometimes more during my week. Even in the winter time. Kamodo Joe charcoal gives great flavor and heat to your grill. I have all the accessories too and they are fabulous! I use my dojo a lot for pizza and it comes out amazing. The rotisserie is my favorite accessory and I use it a lot too.i recommend Kamodo Joe grills and accessories very high quality products.
