I am still learning to use it but so far it's great!!
I have been using my Big Joe II for nearly 7 years now. Countless cooks, parties, pizzas, pastas, steaks, chicken, brisket, ribs, fish, vegetables, beans, gulaš, and on and on. It's easily one of the most versatile cooking tools I've ever owned.

I recently replaced my old 24" Komodo Style Grill with a new Kamado Joe Big Joe® Grill - Series II grill. What a HUGE IMPROVEMENT. The accessories are great. No more fire box problems. This taller grill makes using my Rotisserie with a drip pan PERFECT, no messy fire box from drippings. The latch is super easy to lift up the grill cover when your hands are FULL. The gasket seal provides much better heating and controlling the heat. I finally can have accurate temps. Grill holds temp for 10-12 hours easily. Great to be able to cook above, below and at the grill gasket levels. Overall I am very happy with this UPGRADE Kamado Joe Big Joe® Grill - Series II grill.
In the world of backyard cooking, some products simply define their category. Years after its debut, and even with its newer, more complex sibling (the Series III) on the market, the Kamado Joe II Series—specifically the Classic II and Big Joe II—remains the undisputed sweet spot. It's the grill that took the ancient kamado concept, solved all its nagging problems, and perfected it for the modern pitmaster. In 2025, it's not just a relevant choice; for most people, it's the best choice.
I've had this for over 5 years now. Still using it almost weekly. I've only had to replace deflectors a few times. It's a must have for your outdoor kitchen. Constantly beats the flavor of everything else!
I've owned the Big Joe II for close to 5yrs. It was the second best choice I've made next to making the decision to purchase my first Kamado grill the year before (Classic II). I have cooked many meals on both grills and they work flawlessly. Thinking of adding the Big Joe III to the family.
I never owned the usual propane gas grill. I never wanted one. At the time pellet grills started getting popular I decided I would like to be able to smoke meats but also grill and most pellet grills are not strong on grilling (or it's not possible at all). I went to a local grill store (not big box!) and told them my interest. They suggested charcoal and particulary Kamafo Joe. I bought the classic II and love using it. I have certainly grilled steaks, burgers, fresh corn, and the like, but I have also smoked all kinds of meats. It took me a little time to learn the process of temp control but it all works so well now.
ve had my Kamado Joe Classic II for a while now, and it has completely transformed the way I grill and smoke. The build quality is outstanding—everything feels sturdy and well thought out, from the air-lift hinge that makes opening the heavy ceramic lid effortless to the gasket that seals perfectly and holds in heat and smoke. Temperature control is incredibly precise. Whether I'm slow-smoking ribs at 225°F or searing steaks at over 700°F, the Classic II locks in heat and stays steady for hours with minimal adjustment. The Divide & Conquer system is genius—it lets me cook at different temperatures at the same time, which makes grilling more versatile than I ever imagined. Cleanup is easy thanks to the slide-out ash drawer, and I appreciate that Kamado Joe includes everything you need right out of the box—cart, side shelves, heat deflectors, and more—so you don't have to buy a bunch of add-ons just to get started. The food that comes off this grill is next level. Meats stay juicy, the smoky flavor is deep and authentic, and it honestly feels like restaurant-quality cooking at home. It's not the cheapest grill out there, but the quality, performance, and included features make it an incredible value. I highly recommend the Kamado Joe Classic II to anyone who wants a versatile, durable, and fun-to-use grill. It's hands-down one of the best investments I've made for my backyard.
I have had this grill for about two years after moving from my older house that had a certain green grill. I prefer the Komodo Joe as it has more features making use more convenient.

When will my item arrive?
Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.
- Most freight products ship on a pallet
- Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
- We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.
For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:
Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.
For carriers that deliver without an appointment:
Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
