Kamado Joe Classic - Great. I bought my Joe 3 years ago and couldn't be happier with the grill. I used to smoke ribs, brisket and port butt several times. It holds the temperature consistently without having to check up on it like my past smokers. For all purpose grilling, you can use it to sear and grill without flaming up if you close the lid. It's easy to take care of if you clean after each use and perform a deep burn at least once or twice a year if you are using it often to smoke. I couldn't be happier with this product

Never going back to pellet grills. I absolutely love my Kamado Joe! After buying it a month ago, I’ve already switched from pellet grills back to charcoal because the flavor is just unbelievable. The multi-zone cooking setup is a massive benefit, allowing me to keep one side cooler for delicate meats and vegetables. I've been trying out Eric Gephardt’s recipes, and my family and friends are highly impressed with the results. If you love grilling, I highly recommend this setup.

The Apex of cookers! I’ve had my Big Joe 3 for several years now. I live in East Central Missouri and cook on it year round. It holds temps like a dream and even better when you pair it with a FireBoard 2 Drive, which does an amazing job of virtually eliminating temp swings. The SLO-Roller works exactly as advertised too. I was fortunate enough to find a round 20” anodized aluminum pan on closeout at Hobby Lobby for I think $5 which coupled with foil, makes clean up a snap. Also, with regards to the slo-roller, I found it to be a hassle to store. My solution was a 24” plastic wreath case from Home Depot (I think). It has little latching tabs on it, but they aren’t real secure, so I just drilled 4 holes around the edge so I can zip tie it closed without any chance of it coming out. I also bought the Rotisserie for it and it perfect as well. Thinking about buying the Dough-Joe for pizzas in the near future instead of just using a stone (although that works well) I have run over 24 hours on a single load of lump and actually shut it down because I was comfortable with the fact that it is that efficient. The KJ is a way better deal than the Big Green Egg because Kamado Joe comes with a ton of accessories. They are not cheap by any means, but you certainly get what you pay for, and it’s guaranteed forever. Cleaning it is simply opening it up wide and letting it get to 800° or 900° and then just brush it out with an old paint brush, use a shop vac, or even a leaf blower (warning, t

My Three-Year Kamado Joe Apprenticeship. I’ve owned my Kamado Joe for a little over three years now, and I can honestly say it has changed my life.
Not necessarily for the better during Year One.
The first year was less “barbecue enthusiast” and more “terrified man guarding a ceramic volcano.”
There were nights when I got very little sleep because I was convinced the temperature was going to change for absolutely no reason. I’d wake up in the middle of the night, stumble outside, check the vents, check the thermometer, check the meat, stare into the fire like I was negotiating with it, and then make some tiny adjustment that I was convinced would either save dinner or destroy civilization.
I didn’t yet have all the accessories the pros had. No fancy remote temperature monitoring. No fan constantly babysitting the fire. No sophisticated gadgets sending updates to my phone.
I had a thermometer, a pair of nervous eyes, and absolutely no confidence.
There were also nights when I was convinced the fire was going to go out. Other nights I was convinced the fire was going to get too hot and turn my brisket into an expensive piece of charcoal.
Basically, the brisket slept peacefully while I stood watch.
Year Two was different.
By then, I had acquired a few more toys, gained some confidence, and—most importantly—I finally figured out that those little vents on the Kamado Joe actually serve a purpose beyond making the grill look complicated.
I learned how

Great product! Awesome features and build. The top is mis aligned and I need to push the top sideways for it to click into place but no complaints on the functionality of the unit.

Incredible versability. Bought it 2 months ago and I already used it for pizza (with the dojoe accessory), smoking brisket (with the included slo-roller accessory) and grilling direct/indirect all kinds of meat. This thing can do it all and feed my entire family and friends easily. Heat is extremely stable on low and slow cooks and can go much higher than what my previous kettle BBQ could ever do. Highly recommend

Built by Tradition. Fueled by Fire. Some of the best lessons I ever learned came standing next to my dad at the grill. He had this beer‑chicken recipe he never wrote down, just a rhythm and instinct you only learn by watching. That’s where my love for live‑fire cooking started.
As I got older, I pushed myself to try new styles, new fuels, new techniques — and eventually found my way into competitions, community cooks, and now helping plan grilling events for families across our area.
Today I cook on a Big Joe III, Classic II, and my Joe Jr, and every time I light charcoal I’m reminded that what Dad passed down wasn’t just a recipe — it was a way of bringing people together.
That’s why we are Fireborn.
Because the flame doesn’t start at the grill… it starts with the people who taught us.

The Be(a)st! I've allready purchased a KJ Clasic 2 which turned out a bit to small when grilling a bunch of Veal Ribs which the misses likes so much. This was the perfect excuse to go bigger! When we went to the store KJ Big Joe III didn't looked that Big. But when it arrived home and we filled it up with charcoal it came "alive alive". It's a beast of a grill! What ever you place on it there is plenty of space. No need for stacking or placing the ribs side ways anymore. Multiple dishes vegies, fish, meat all can go together, multiple zones, you name it. Low and Slow or Hot and Fast. The Big Joe III is tha Be(a)st!

This thing is a tank!
The grill sips on charcoal so it is economical to run.
The mass of ceramic maintains a very steady heat for hours!
It is so easy to adjust temperatures with the air vents.
I can seer, flame cook, slow cook or smoke on this... so the versatility is everything i need.
Everybody comments on how great the food I cook on this tastes.

Great investment! I purchased my Kamado Joe Classic III last year, and after plenty of cooks, I can confidently say it’s one of the best outdoor cooking investments I’ve ever made. The overall build quality is outstanding—from the thick ceramic body to the stainless steel components, everything feels solid, thoughtfully engineered, and built to last. Temperature control is incredibly precise, whether I’m doing low-and-slow BBQ or cranking it up for high-heat cooks.
One of my favorite accessories has been the Joetisserie. It’s an absolute game-changer for whole chickens and turkeys. The motor runs smoothly, the balance is excellent, and the results are consistently juicy with perfectly crisped skin. It’s one of those add-ons that genuinely expands what the grill can do. I look forward to purchasing a basket attachment soon for wings.
I also want to highlight my experience with Keystone BBQ Supply. They were fantastic to work with—knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about helping customers get the right setup. From purchase to support, the experience was smooth and reassuring, which made a big difference for a premium product like this.
Overall, the Kamado Joe Classic III delivers exceptional performance, versatility, and craftsmanship. Combined with great service from Keystone BBQ Supply, it’s been a top-tier experience from start to finish. Highly recommended for anyone serious about outdoor cooking!

Best Grill. I had bought a Kamado Joe Jr several years ago and fell in love with it. I wanted to get a Big Joe III but just couldn’t talk myself into spending that much money. Last fall I found the BJ III on sale that I was willing to take the plunge. I absolutely love both of these grills. The Jr is great for quick cooks and the Big Joe is just a workhorse that can do it all.
★★★★★ JDEBERT77 February 4, 2026 · Texas
Game Changer. I’ve owned my Big Joe for about six years now, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with it. I’ve cooked on heavy-duty offset pits in the past, and while they’re great, the versatility and flavor I get from my Big Joe simply aren’t comparable.
From low-and-slow smoking, to searing steaks, to making what I can confidently say is the best pizza I’ve ever had, this grill does it all, and does it exceptionally well. It has completely changed how I cook and how my family eats. Any time we have friends or family over, the Big Joe is the center of attention.
On top of that, Kamado Joe’s customer service has been outstanding, and the warranty gives real peace of mind.
If you’re on the fence, don’t be. Even my wife agrees, it’s absolutely worth the money.
★★★★★ driller64 February 4, 2026 · Northern Michigan
Very happy with the switch. Bought a year ago for an outdoor kitchen. Had used a BGE for years but a friend told me to look into Kamado Joe. Very happy with the purchase. I like the latch and seal as well as the charcoal basket. The larger size allows me to cook and smoke more food at one time.
★★★★★ Ilikebigribs February 4, 2026 · Boerne, Texas
Workhorse of a grill. My wife bought it as a surprise birthday gift in 2019 because I had been comparing to the Green Egg. It has since been a focal point of our backyard patio. This Kamado has handled 3 20-pound turkeys, wings on a rotisserie basket, over-the-top chili, fajitas, fish, vegetables and basically anything I’ve been able to throw at it. 7 years later, it’s barely showing any abuse, needing just a gasket replacement. It has brought so much joy and utility and we can’t imagine not having it.

Best Tasting Food Ever! I wanted a grill that cooked a variety of food with the best flavor and quality possible. The Kamado Joe did not disappoint. Best Steaks, Best Salmon, Best Chicken, Best Pizza, Best Bacon, Best Veggies and so much more. The Kamado Community is very forthcoming with amazing recipes. Looking forward to trying the unending options. Once you get through the basics of firing up your Kamado Grill, you will find the extra effort more than pays off. The quality of the grill is top-notch. The customer support is awesome as well. I had an issue with Hyperbolic Chamber and there was no hesitation in resolving the issue. The Hyperbolic Chamber is one of my favorite features as smoked meats is one of my favorites. I can say anyone who has tried my smoked turkey on Thanksgiving as told me it's the best Thanksgiving turkey they have ever had. I do have a great recipe but the Kamado makes it work! Can't say enough about it.

Happy after a year! As a kid, my dad picked up a Kamado and he used it for almost 30 years only letting it go because the metal stand rotted away, and he was getting ready to move to Florida.
I bought this after using a Weber gas grill for 25 years and an electric smoker for 10 years. While the gas was convenient, I wanted the smoke flavor back and the smoker was not convenient to use. The Kamado Joe replaced both and has performed great will no extra effort. We have cooked Fish, Beef, Poultry, and Pork on the Kamado Joe with excellent result and flavor. I will also point out that we use to use a countertop rotisserie for chick at least once a month and since we go the Kamado Joe, we have only pulled it out twice. I will also add that the Kamado Joe is way more functional and easier to maintain that the old one my father had. I am extremely happy with this unit.

Great cooker. I love my Big Joe! Features are so much better than Green Egg. It is easy to clean, the slider drawer makes it so easy to remove used charcoal. The divider is nice for small cooks and the temperature control is uncanny when the pit is clean. Easy to relight used charcoal. Split grill is very cool. If I would change anything it would be to have some sort of locking mechanism to hold grates in place.

Outstanding Cooking Tool. I spent a few months researching BGE and Kamado Joe as an upgrade to my Traeger and went with the Big Joe III. I’m thrilled with it. Fantastic heat retention and temperature control, sturdy construction, and the Joetisserie and Soapstone are must have accessories. The only slight issue I have with it is the cart is a bit wobbly when moving it and will push down a little when I close the lid. I recommend putting it in one spot, locking the wheels, and leaving it. But overall a great purchase.

Game changer for backyard BBQ. I’ve used plenty of grills and smokers over the years, but the Classic Joe III is on a whole different level. If you’re just getting into BBQ, don’t be intimidated by the ceramic style—this thing makes it easier, not harder. The heat holds steady like an oven, so you’re not babysitting the fire every 10 minutes.
I’ve smoked ribs low and slow for 6 hours, seared steaks at 700°, and even baked pizza on it. Everything comes out with that wood-fired flavor that’s impossible to fake. The divide-and-conquer system lets you cook multiple ways at once, one side hot and fast, the other low and slow. It’s like having two grills in one. Build quality is rock solid. The lid feels balanced, the seals are tight, and the rolling cart makes it easy to move around even though it’s heavy. It’s not cheap, but the value is there because it replaces a smoker, a grill, and even an oven. If you’re on the fence, this grill makes you look like a pro from day one. Highly recommend it.

Cannot love this more. We purchased this for my husband for Father's Day. He absolutely loves it! It has been a fun project between him and I, and with him and our adult son, to learn to use it and try new things out of the smoker. It was pretty easy to set up (did use some YouTube help) and he was able to do a big boston butt the first day. We have since done several types of meats, burgers and the best briskets we have ever eaten. He hardly uses the gas grill anymore and is making plans for Thanksgiving.

The Way to Go! ...Let's Go!!! This is my pick! Its a much bigger cooking surface, which is nice to have when people come over or have a growing family. You'll want the grill to deliver and feed the people.

My most versatile grill. I love my Big Joe III. I use it for everything from low and slow cooks, grilling, cooking pizzas, and rotisserie over a live fire. It performs great and always gives an awesome flavor. I have a ton of grills but if I could only keep one, it would be this.

Customer Service/grill. We are in love with the grill. Love the way it cooks and all the possible options for using the grill. However, we purchased the accessory for temperature and never did work. We reached out to customer service and nothing was ever done about it.

Go to for long cooks. I typically use my big Joe for long cooks. The most fuel efficient cooker I’ve ever used.. I’ve got a big family and typically cook for 30ish people. I wind up doing the cooking because everyone loves the flavor and tenderness that comes off this grill. Once I get my temps set, I rarely adjust the vents. If you like long cooks and want capacity, this is the most fool proof grill you could own

Great, versitile grill. I've had my Big Joe Series 3 for over 2 and a half years and I LOVE it! I'm able to do so much more than I ever was on any of my gas grills - grill steaks, burgers, etc; roast chickens; smoke ribs, pork butts, etc; even bake in it! Once you get the hang of temperature control, it's so easy to make a wide variety of delicious food that has that authentic outdoor, charcoal/wood fire flavor. I would suggest Smokin' Dad BBQ's temperature control guide & videos to shorten that learning curve. I have recommended a Kamado Joe to several people and will continue to do so without hesitation. It was somewhat expensive, but I'm pretty sure that it's the last grill I'll ever need to buy. No replacing gas grills that rust away every few years.

No question. Best Ever. You can literally do it all, smoke, bake, slow cooker, etc. Love love love how dope this thing is.

Big Joe Series III wins HANDS DOWN! I've used a pellet grill for over a year and it produced good results for me, no shade about that. But, I've looked at Kamado Joe grills for years and I finally got the grill of my bbq dreams - the Big Joe 3. We splurged and picked up the largest version in order to cook many things at once. It's the perfect addition to my outside kitchen as we entertain family and friends. I totally love it. Kamado grills are high quality and they thought of everything! I highly recommend this grill to all my friends and family!

Perfect for Slow Cooking. We have own this Kamado Joe for years now. We have smoked, grilled and roasted everything. We now cook most every meal on our Joe. Family members always ask, "whats next". Love it!!!

Big Joe is what you need when the family arrives. I have had my Big Joe III since early summer, and it is incredible the amount of food you can cook. For July 4th had 6 slabs of St Louis ribs on, enough for 8 adults and my 6 grandkids. It heats up faster than I would have thought for its size, and the heat retention and temperature stability are a game changer. I have an offset smoker that I have used for years, and while it is awesome it is a labor of love, feeding new wood in every 30 min or so and constantly tending the fire to maintain temp. If all you have to do is sit by the smoker that is fine, but that stopped working for me at least with the grandkids wanting to play and have fun. I can now get the Big Joe to temp in about 15-20 minutes, put on the food, insert a probe and go have fun. Even coming back 2 hours later the Big Joe is sitting nicely at the desired temp, and don't even get me started on how good the food is! So far 3 beer can chickens at same time, amazing, slow roller (yep, comes with the Big Joe III) pork, reverse sear steaks and for this weekend (Labor Day) a pair of Joetisserie chickens are on tap (smaller crowd this time). Clean up is so easy compared to my offset smoker, and the quality of the Kamado Big Joe is superb. Clear instructions for assembly, heavy duty materials, and a terrific design add up to this is a grill that is going to go the distance for me (my offset is 22 years old and still going strong, and I have no doubt the Kamado will stil

best and most universal clay grill ever. bought the Classic Joe in 2021, and have never looked back, best decision ever

Great Grill. This was originally a Christmas gift from my parents when I moved into my first college house. Now it's a staple of my young adult life. Rather it's grilling something for a quick and nice weeknight date night with my girlfriend or a smoking some meat with my friends on the weekend. This grill has been a gathering spot for me and my circle for years and will be for years to come.
★★★★★ DTM1 August 27, 2025 · Pineville
amazing. I’ve been using this grill for three months now, and I can confidently say it is the finest grill I have ever owned. It transforms every cut of meat into a masterpiece, cooking them to perfection with tantalizing flavors and incredible juiciness that dance on the palate. Each bite is a delightful experience that leaves you craving more.

Kamado Joe Grills are Awesome. Kamado Joe's are the best grills. They have the best accessories and have high ratings from everyone thst reviews them.

Plenty of space. I’ve had the Big Joe III since 2019 and it still looks great and performs like a champ. Plenty of room for three spatchcock chickens or 4 racks of ribs. It’s also easy to light and efficient with charcoal. I love my grill.

5 years going strong. After going through many different styles of grills and attempting to cook amazing BBQ, nothing has compared to my Big Joe III. I've owned cheaper offsets, numerous different pellet smoker grills, and none have them have blown me away as much as this grill. We've stopped going out to eat for BBQ since I can now make better BBQ, for cheaper, then going out. Not only that, with the rotisserie attachment and pizza attachment I don't need to go out for delicious wings or pizza anymore either. This has easily been one of the best purchases I've made in the last 5 years.
