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.

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 Grill. Moved up from an offset smoker. The first couple of cooks were intimidating, however this grill is fantastic, it is versatile and maintains temperature quite well. My family is loving the delicious meals I have prepared. The Joetisserie is an excellent accessory.

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!

My favorite go to smoker/grill. On this grill, I have cooked everything from wings, to 2 Boston butts (at the same time), ribs, burgers, pizzas, and even biscuits. My previous ceramic grill was oval shaped and it wasn't as versatile.

Not me, but my baby brother. It's not mine, its my brother's Classic Joe. Yeah, he rambles on about how easy it is to use. It's his favorite grill of all time. (he's 71, he's had a few) Personally, Idk.... It's the food he pulls off that baby...juicy, delicious, amazing, totally drool worthy creations. The Classic Joe can turn the worst cooks into Michelin worthy chefs.

Absolutely love it! I was deciding between the KJ and the Egg and I went with the KJ and I’m so glad I did. I would rather pay one price and get all the accessories rather than have to pick and choose à la carte. The KJ is just better designed, the easy open lid is fantastic as is the seal which keeps all the heat in. My cousin has the Egg and he dropped the lid as he was closing it and it broke. Steady temps. Sturdy design. Heavy metal stainless steel grates. She’s a beast.
★★★★★ Brudude February 4, 2026 · San Diego
Smoking Joe! We have owned the Classic Joe 2 for many years now. One of the best “food” investments we have made. We’ve done lots of experimenting and will tell you that the tri tip smoked using a certain TV personalities’s rub is the bomb! We use predominantly wood for the fuel source now. We still have some lump charcoal but wood is our preferred fuel now. We have the Joe Tisourie (sp), the Joe Dough, and the Smoker attachments. Love this thing!

★★★★★ Tryon Santa September 17, 2025 · Tryon, NC
I'm in love with my Kamado. When I first started looking at kamado style grills, I was hesitant because of one brand that is really expensive. It was about that time I discovered the Kamado Joe series and did my homework on them. To say the least, I was quite impressed with everything you can do with these wonderful cookers.
Since then, I have grilled, smoked meats and made pizza on mine and it keeps on doing a great job.
★★★★★ Coachmojorizn September 17, 2025 · Columbiana, Alabama
Great Features. My wife bought me this Kamado Joe to replace a cheaper grill. It works great and I’m very pleased with it.
★★★★★ Petfish September 17, 2025 · Knoxville TN
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.
★★★★★ Bunker September 17, 2025 · Woodstock, GA
Classic Joe III. Great value as compared to BGE. We use our KJ at least 4 nights per week grilling chicken, salmon, pork tenderloin, and others. Weekends are great for smoking a butt or shoulder, or ribs. Food tastes fantastic. They stand by their product too. I just had two pieces down in the bottom replaced under warranty due to cracks. No questions asked.

Great quality inside and out! I bought the Classic Joe III this summer to replace my previous Classic Joe I that I had for 15 years. My Classic Joe I was in need of repairs after being blown over in a wind storm, and I used some gift cards from my company to purchase the new Classic III. I love the new charcoal basket, the lift mechanism, and the new deluxe stand. These upgrades have made my cooking event even better and the results have been outstanding.
★★★★★ Thedude September 17, 2025 · Palm Springs, CA
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.
★★★★★ CurryL September 17, 2025 · North Carolina
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. I very much recommend this product!

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.

★★★★★ Pumba August 27, 2025 · Bossier City, LA.
Totally amazed by this Smoker. Not only is the quality of the food amazing, but the prep time and cleanup process is super easy. I use a small amount of charcoal (way less than I used in my old smoker). The fire starts quickly and stays hot the entire time I am smoking. I've had meat smoking for 16 hours and never had to add more charcoal. Keeping the temperature at the recommended level is a lot easier that I thought. By simply adjusting the top and bottom vents it's very easy to hold your desired temperature overnight. These smokers are well worth the money. My Kamado Joe is the highlight of my cooking station. My only regret is not buying one sooner!
★★★★★ Dan4355 August 27, 2025 · Yorktown, VA
Great Grill. I am very pleased with this purchase. I was gifted it by my wife for my birthday and I have enjoyed it ever since. so much fun from starting it up to cooking on it.
My only complaint comes to the placement of the ceramic parts to form the firebox. To get the ring to slide down and fit snuggly on the parts for a proper base, I need to utilize paper towels to push the ceramic parts in which sit there until I next I have to remove the ceramic pieces to clean the system.
★★★★★ Wonderful Joe August 27, 2025 · Atlanta, GA
Wonderful Joe! After moving into our new house, we had a built in outdoor kitchen added. We built in our new Kamado Joe Classic III. It's a first time for me with the Kamado Joe, but wow what a difference over my former (Weber) gas grill. The flavor that it imparts just can't be beat. Something about cooking over charcoal that you just can't duplicate with propane. I'm also extremely impressed with how it retains the cooking temperature internally. It's so good, that my wife who likes her steaks well done is extremely happy with the fact they are well done and very juicy. A fine line I couldn't quite get on a gas grill. Burgers, chicken, steaks, veggies, everything so far has been Wonderful. Thank you KJ.

★★★★★ G Laz August 27, 2025 · Chesterfiled MO
Love It!! Been using the Classic III for almost five years now. Use it for everything from brisket or ribs for a longer smote to smash burgers on the cast iron half-moon accessories. I also cook the bacon on the cast iron...fantastic results. (bonus -it keeps the bacon smell out of the house) Love the high-temp searing on the grill for a quick steak.. The ease of temp control is fantastic when compared to the side smoters I had previously.

Very happy with my purchase.
★★★★★ Johnz August 27, 2025 · Richmond, tx
Best Charcoal Grill in the market. I bought this right after it was released years ago. It’s been 5 years and still going strong. Very well made, easy to clean and the best part is it stays hot due to the unique shape and holds the heat very well. I purchased different cooking grates and stones and they are well worth the extra cost as it becomes only more fun. I also added the rotisserie tool and the pizza oven. This thing is an all in one grill that can cook anything you throw to it. A first timer or a an experienced bbq person, it is something anyone should have.

Quality All Around! I spent a lot of time researching the different Kamado grills and I finally settled on the Kamado Joe Classic III. I have not been disappointed thus far. I have used it several times over the past month and I am very happy with the results. I love the various cooking methods that you can use on the grill as well as the numerous accessories available to fine tune and customize your cook. The only downside thus far is the fact that my other grills are collecting dust.
★★★★★ Mac6920 August 27, 2025
The Ultimate Smoker & Grill. I’ve had my Classic Joe III for 8 months and I love it! I’ve been a loyal Big Green Egg owner until now. The Kamado Joe has so much included. The Kick Ash basket is easy to use. The divide and conquer system allows for multi-level cooking. The one finger open hinge is easy to operate, and latch seals the Kamado Joe closed. Finally, the included SLO Roller enhances the smoking experience.
★★★★★ Grillman 2025 August 27, 2025 · Houston Tx
Like having a 4 star restaurant in your back yard. I decided to bite the bullet about 2 years ago and get my classic 3. I did a ton of research prior to buying one. I watched several YouTube channels including kamado's official channel and I even did research on some of the major competitors like the green egg. In my opinion, the kamado joe is just a superior grilling experience. There is a learning curve, as with all grills, but with the kamado joe you are truly only limited by your own patience and skills. I've smoked and prepared a ton of food items. Some of my foods include ribs, brisket, fajitas, steaks, burgers, snapper, salmon, pancakes, chicken wings, thighs, whole chickens and turkeys. Where I feel kamado beats there competition is in the accessories. There truly is an accessory for anything you can think of. And it holds its temperature perfectly for hours upon hours once you learn how to build the right fire. And yes it was expensive but you get what you pay for and I've actually saved money in the long run because I've been cooking my own meals a lot more since I purchased my kamado joe instead of eating out. It's also nice knowing exactly how much sodium or other ingredients are in my food since I'm preparing it myself. It's also much easier to clean than previous grills that I've owned. If you are thinking about buying one think of it more like a long term investment that can literally last a lifetime.

Love my KJ3. I purchased my Kamado Joe K3 smoker three years ago, and I couldn't be happier with my decision! This smoker has truly transformed my outdoor cooking experience. The build quality is outstanding, with sturdy materials that feel incredibly durable. The unique ceramic design not only retains heat efficiently but the slow gives food a fantastic flavor. I've tried various meats, from ribs to brisket, and the results have been nothing short of amazing. The temperature control is spot-on, allowing me to achieve that perfect low-and-slow cook without any hassle. I also love the versatility of the K3; I can smoke, grill, or make pizza with it. Clean-up easy as well. The charcoal usage is efficient, and I appreciate how long it holds the heat. Overall, I highly recommend the Kamado Joe K3 to anyone looking to elevate their grilling and smoking game. It’s fun to use, and the flavor it imparts to food is truly exceptional. This smoker has definitely earned a permanent spot on my deck!

Versatile cooking. I got the classic joe seris 3 for my birthday last year. Moved up from a pellet smoker and a weber and never looked back. This grill does it all.

★★★★★ Cooking Pilgrim June 28, 2025 · Bloomfield, NM
Very versatile grill. I am an old Weber smokey Joe guy. I was wanting to take it to the next level. So, I researched all the different options available and really gravitated towards what a kamado grill has to offer, it smokes, it bakes, and it bar b q's. So, I researched all the options of kamado grills and saw the advantages that the Kamado Joe Classic III had. I can’t be more pleased with my decision. I haven’t had a bad cook yet and they seem to only keep getting better. It’s just the right size for what I do. Big enough to cook for a group but not crazy when I’m only cooking for 2.

Game-Changer Grill – Worth Every Penny! I recently purchased the Kamado Joe Classic III, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Before this, I used a gravity-feed charcoal grill, but the Classic III is simply in a league of its own. The craftsmanship, design, and overall quality far exceed any grill I’ve ever owned.
The SloRoller is a complete game-changer. It has taken my smoking results to a whole new level. The very first brisket I cooked on my Classic Joe turned out to be the best I’ve ever made — incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with flavor.
Setup was a breeze, from unboxing to lighting the first fire. The packaging is secure, and everything about the process reflects Kamado Joe’s attention to detail.
Overall, this is a tremendous product, and I would recommend it to anyone — whether you’re a weekend griller, a low-and-slow smoker, or a BBQ enthusiast looking to elevate your cooking.

Not your average Joe! I purchased my Classic Joe III with Joe tisserie and half moon soapstone several years ago and am supremely satisfied. This grill and the accessories deliver every time and help me to produce food that wows all of our guests. From smoking brisket, chuck roast, pork butts, meatloaf to using the rotisserie for roaster chicken or picanha, to grilling fish, burgers, vegetables, etc., there is nothing this product can't do. I have family and friends that have Green Eggs, and while that is a fine product, in my opinion it doesn't hold a candle to the Kamodo Joe and the amazing accessories. Very well done, Kamodo Joe; keep innovating, keep the products coming, and keep "grilling" your competitors!!
★★★★★ Joseph1001 May 19, 2025 · Germany
Excellence Reliable Very Tasty. Now I‘m cooking 5 years on my KJ. It's a very reliable kamado. Once set up, my grill runs like a Swiss watch. The coal consumption is unbeatable. I'm very satisfied with the value for money.
The range of applications, from cold smoking, roasting, baking, long jobs, to searing, is also very interesting to me.
If you ask me, I would buy my CX III again in a heartbeat.
★★★★★ ChurrascoIsLife May 19, 2025
Great Grill! Quick to heat and eager to please, look no further for your next grill. Kamado reaches the temperature your looking for in no time and it holds it steady within minutes... The lid opens wide and it with the new springs it holds up without any give. The new top has resisted some pretty tough storms leaving the inside of the grill dry as it can be, and the latch holds everything down with minimum effort.
Light it, Grill it, Love it.
Bom apetite!

Beyond Expectations ! This is the best grill I have ever owned.. I have been using this grill for almost 2 years now. I had little experience before owning KJ and this one makes it for you, I was able to grill and smoke various recipes while KJ was doing its magic for me.
What really makes this grill shines is that it allows you to make your best recipes without the need to constantly check on the temperature. It reserves the desired heat and distribute it for even cooking. I have invited many friends and despite my little experience first, they told me it tastes better than most restaurants. Made me proud of owning and using it.
I have developed lots of experience in no time using this grill and will definitely continue to cook my best food in it!
Also KJ has one of the best customer service. So I definitely recommend it for all skill levels!

Most versatile grill out there. This is my second kamando joe, the first one was destroyed in a hurricane. My Joe is great for smoking and low and slow cooks. I use the rotisserie and pizza additions. And of course searing steaks and bbq. I use to have a smoker and rotisserie I've thrown them out. My Joe does it all. I highly recommend it.

Incredible Kamado Grill. I bought this grill last year on Father’s Day and without a doubt, one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. It took some learning but I use it about every other day at this point to make so many things. Everything that goes on it is 10/10 for the family.

High buy in but worth the investment. Have had my Classic II for 3 years now and am very satisfied. It has done just about all I have asked of it. Once the temperature is dialed in, it will hold there for hours with no maintenance. It is much easier to cook at high temperatures (>600) than low (<250). I still have not figured that out. The only complaint I have is with the fire ring. They are prone to cracking. I am on my Third one in 3 years, but KJ has been great about replacing it with the lifetime warranty.

Best grill and smoker known to (wo)man! Purchased over a couple years ago, it is the most consistent grill performer I have out of my line up. Never fail, always on point and accurate, easy to use, just perfect! It's also amazing the wide range of how you can cook on the KamadoJoe, it's not just a smoker, and not just a grill, not just a flat top, or pizza oven, or rotisserie, its EVERYTHING!

Love my Kamado. I’ve had mine for 2 years, couldn’t be happier with my purchase.

Up your Game with a real Smoker. Moving up to my Classic III was a total game changer in my smoking skill's. It's fun to experiment with all the types of different foods and how I can improve from my last cook. from Slo Roll, Do Joe, Spinning on a Rotisserie, Grilling and more !!!!!. it's amazing how your neighbors all just happen to be walking by to see what you have on the Kamato Joe that day ;). I just tell them if they want to watch and learn they need to BRING BEER.

The grill of my dreams. Received this grill from Santa and can't remember being so happy with a product. The airlift hinge, ample coking space, and consistent heat retention have made a kamado convert out of me. I love the ability to smoke, grill, and sear, and the ease of starting and maintaining temperature.

Versatile cooking. I like how it smokes great by also works as a grill. Multi platform functions good for cooking different kinds of food at once.

Easy to lift lid. I've had my Classic Joe III for two years now - I does not disappoint! Great smoke on brisket, ribs, etc. Keeps temperature constant with very little maintenance during cook. Love this thing..

Better than any other ceramic grill I’ve owned. Love this grill. So many different set ups and uses. Comes up to temperature so much faster than my visions grill. It’s just a pleasure to use.

Love this grill. I bought this grill Dec 2024. Love it wasn't much to assemble I was cooking on it in less then a hour.
Does everything you need. Bake,grill, low and slow with ease. holds temp easily and very well built probably the last grill you will ever purchase.

So far so good. I was tired of the inconsistency and poor quality of my gas smoker and did my research and The Kamado Joe came out on top. My wife picked up one for a Father’s Day gift and we love it! I wish the manual had a bit better instructions for use setup, but with some practice we had it down. Accessories have made it even better. Do Joe is the best

Love my Classic Joe. I've had my Joe for a few months and really like it. Great features like the ash drawer and slo roller make smoking much more user friendly. I find it easier to light and to get to and keep temperatures. Going to smoke a brisket tomorrow since I've had such good luck with pork butt and ribs. A fine piece of cooking equipment.

Changed my life. The Classic 3 Grill has completely transformed my grilling experience. From the moment I started using it, I realized just how effortless and enjoyable BBQing could be. The grill's design makes it nearly impossible to mess up, even for those who aren't seasoned pitmasters.
One of the standout features is its exceptional heat retention and precise temperature control, allowing for both low-and-slow smoking and high-heat searing. Whether I'm cooking ribs, brisket, or even pizzas, everything turns out perfectly every time. The build quality is also top-notch, with durable materials that hold up well over time.
What I love most is how easy it is to use. The airflow adjustments are intuitive, and once it's set, it maintains a steady temperature without constant babysitting. Cleanup is a breeze, making the entire BBQ process hassle-free.
Since getting the Classic 3, I've been BBQing every weekend, and it has truly become the highlight of my week. If you're looking for a grill that delivers restaurant-quality results with minimal effort, this is it. Absolute game-changer!

Never enjoyed grilling before my Kamado Joe! Used this all last season and even during the winter! Nothing beats the heat this baby produces. Low and slow to searing hot and everything in between!

So excited, have wanted a Kamado Joe for years. My husband and I have wanted a Kamado Joe for years, and bought this as a retirement gift to ourselves. We have used it many times over the past 2 months. Cooked a wonderful filet meal for New Year's Eve, rotisseries chicken wings, loved the pizza!! The more we use it, the better we get, and our guests are very impressed with the wonderful meals that we are sharing with them, provided only on our Kamado Joe!!
★★★★★ Bob24 February 22, 2025 · Tampa,fl
New level of cooking! Been using my classic 3 for about 4 months now and every type of dish that I have prepared has been elevated in flavor.. I thought that using a Kamado style grill would be difficult and would need to be constantly baby sat, but I was so wrong! Temperature control is so easy and the results have been amazing! I gave away my smoker, my pizza oven, and my Weber gas grill!!!

Great Grill. I bought this grill a month ago and I love it!! Best Grill I ownwd
★★★★★ Rshir84 February 18, 2025 · Ridgeville, South Carolina
Great customer service. Used the grill a couple of times but had a problem with the dome not seating properly. Contacted customer support and with their help made adjustments. Found the spring hinge and bands were causing the problem and Kamado joe sent me replacement parts with no charge to me. Installed the parts and the dome seals as it should
Like the thank the support people for their quick response to my problem. A definite thumbs up

My go to cooker for all my backyard bbq needs. I own many different smokers and grills. After 6 months of smoking and grilling on my KJ Classic 3 I have one regret, that I didn’t buy it sooner! After learning the start up process I love the ease of cooking wings, ribs, steaks, and pork butt. I have only done two briskets and they both came out great compared to my pellet smoker. I have added several accessories to add to the versatile of this amazing cooker. Don’t wait, just order it already.

Love my Classic Joe! I've been using my Kamado Joe Classic III for a while now and I greatly appreciate the quality!

Dream grill came true I cannot live without it. First time would come out of your best ever. No limitation of new ideas to cook with Kamado Joe classic 3
★★★★★ EB Flyer January 18, 2025 · Reidville, SC
I love the KJ. I purchased my Kamado Joe III in mid-December. I have done several cooks including brisket, pork shoulder, steaks and burgers. I appreciate the flexible grilling/smoking and searing options I have with the KJ. I have had a Traeger Timberline for several years but I am now a KJ convert!
