Ratings & Reviews for Kamado Joe undefined

Great and versatile

I love my Kamado Joe! It allows me to do anything, including smoking brisket, grilling steaks, and roasting turkey.

New Grilling experience

Great product. Very well designed, retains the heat easy to use. Materials used are f high quality. Really like the ability too do different things like cooking on different levels

The Best

I have 5 grill options between a smoker, gas Weber, Blackstone and 2 Kamado's(Classic II and Joe Jr.) The Classic II is my go to option for most of my cooking. If I had to only keep one grill this would be the one!! You can cook anything on it and gives you the ultimate control and does well to feed my family of 6.

My new favorite

I bought this about a month ago and couldn’t be happier. I’m 65 and have been grilling since I was 13 yrs old. Love the juicy flavors I easily get when using this grill. Can’t wait to see what awesome things I can cook up with it!

Changes the way you cook!

Have owned my big Joe for about 3 years. Was new to ceramic style grills and to slow cooking. Learning curve to figure out heat control but once you do, can’t be easier or safer. And the quality becomes restaurant quality right away. I will say the big Joe may have been overkill for us and does need a good amount of fuel to heat up - but love it when we have a gathering !

Next Level Grilling!

I've had my KJ ClassicII since early January of 2025. I'm learning how to best utilize my KJ by trying different kinds of meats to grill, using both indirect and direct/indirect methods. I have YET to make a disappointing meal with my KJ, and I'm looking forward to many more cooks on it - in fact, my wife's birthday is this weekend, and she's getting a plate of beef short ribs that I'll fire up very early and hopefully smoke to perfection - the KJ makes that task so much easier than any grill I'...

Smoking Grill!

I'm 2 weeks into the KJII; I absolutely love it. It makes me wonder how I got along with the gas grills all these years. I find it very versatile with the smoking options and with just plain grilling and cooking.

Had a Big Green Egg and Converted to the Kamado Jo

The features that convinced me to switch to the Kamado Joe included the air lift hinge which made it so easy to open and close the top without fear that the top would come crashing down, the divide and conquer cooking racks which allowed me to cook several different items at different temperatures, the control tower vent system that allowed me to open the grill without losing the vent position, the mesh gasket that provided a superior seal to the grill, and the stainless charcoal basket that col...

The Best

I got my Kamado Joe Classic II in 2019. Couldn’t be happier. I’ve had the different colored ceramic cooker of the same size for many years prior. Hands down the Kamado Joe was it not only better on press, but also accessories out of the box. No need to buy tons of accessories to get started. I was skeptical of the multi-piece firebox at first, but it’s so much better than the one piece firebox the competition offers that will crack into multiple pieces. If you’re looking at getting a ceramic coo...

Kamado Joe Family

We are a BBQ family and love to grill. We have started competing a couple years ago and started with a a classic series 1. We couldn’t have asked for a better grill. We own 3 Kamado’s and love each one. Everything is cooked to perfection. Even got a Jr. to take camping. Both our kids love to cook on the grill. One loves to cook ribs which she can beat most adults and our oldest loves Friday night pizza on the grill. Brings together our family one something we love and enjoy!

So excited to use it!

Can’t wait to up our grilling game! Will be a great addition to our patio.

Replaced Cap Gasket

Has been an awesome experience except for having to replace cap gasket after 5 months.

Great Feature

I’ve had this grill for a year and am extremely happy with how the grill performs. I upgraded from a Green one feel that there is a whole lot of innovation integrated into the Kamado Joe versus the Green one that I previously used.

Kamado Joe Classic II review

Upgraded to the Kamado Joe from the weber kettle. Would have done this years ago if I knew the advantages. Was able to keep temperatures within 15 degrees of where I wanted with my second cook.

From skeptic to fanatic

Let me start by confessing that I didn't but my Joe new. I was skeptical about people's claims that Kamado grills were almost as easy as pellet grills and I always felt like people were over selling the their cooking results for Youtube fame. However, after hearing a trusted friend explain what he was doing with his Big Green egg, I had to try it for myself. Weary as I was, I didn't want to spend the big $ for a new Kamado. You know, in case I hated it. So, I found myself a used Kamado Joe Class...

Versatile Classic Joe

I have had my Classic Joe for several years. It has never disappointed me. Easy to light my coals and versatile. I have several accessories and use them often. I am able to cook with to different heat zones. I really love it and use my Joe usually 3 times a week.

Everything grill

Kamado style grills first caught my attention watching BBQ videos on YouTube. I had a Weber gas grill and a Weber Kettle in my back yard. I was intrigued by the traditional cooking style along with the modern features. After I bought it, it became the only grill I used. I eventually gave away my two Weber grills and relied only on my KJ Classic 2. I really appreciate the ability to close the vents to save charcoal for later cooks. Besides being a great grill, it is a superior smoker and a grea...

So easy to use!

I've now had this for 4 years and can't believe I lived with a gas grill for so long.

Good Starter Kamado Joe

Great Grill for getting started in outdoor cooking! Looking back, I do wish I would have bought the Big Joe just for the amount of food I cook.

Change of heart....

I bought this smoker for my husband for Christmas and he swore I bought it for myself -- this smoker has changed his thoughts on smoked meats. Now, I can barely even get to use it, he's using it so often!!! We love it!
