Love Kamado Big Joe

I love the Komodo Joe so much that I bought one for my trailer and one for the house. I can't believe how delicious everything is. People always say it's the best ribs they've ever had.

Excellent multi purpose cooker

Love my Kamado Joe. There is a slight learning curve but once you get the hang of it and learn it's "personality", they are awesome. Great to smoke, great to grill and "low and slow". I highly recommend if you are serious about your outdoor cooking.

Great product

This is my first luxury grill/smoker. My first attempt to grill was a amazing experience. Even my neighbor who is very experience with other smokers was in shock of the heat retation and the ease of use.

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.

GO BIG OR GO HOME!

I cook for 2 people and love the multi zone cooking on my BIG JOE III but have the flexibility to cook a large group if needed. This is the only way to go!

You can cook a lot or a little on a BIG Joe!

Question:
If I purchase the Big Joe III in the cart. Do I have the flexibility of incorporating it into my outdoor kitchen later without the cart?Was This Helpful?
Answers:

Yes, that is what I did works great Matt

Asked by HAGAN | Answered by matt

Hello Hagan, I believe you can convert to a kitchen later. At least I hope to convert later. I bought the three ceramic feet with my grill for a kitchen setup. It looks like I'll have to remove the brackets for the side tables to give the grill a cleaner look for the kitchen. Good luck! I love my Big Joe III.

Asked by HAGAN | Answered by fwadswo

Yes. It just lifts out of the cart. You may want to order the "feet" for placing in your kitchen later. This kamado is awesome! And big! Place it on something sturdy 

Asked by HAGAN | Answered by jeff

Yes the Big Joe sits inside the cradle. You can lift it out a little it in a custom counter top. With the help of three friends. It's heavy!!

Asked by HAGAN | Answered by ray_mark70

Question:
What assembly is required?Was This Helpful?
Answers:

You have to assemble the stand and place the grill on it. 5 min, but takes two guys, or one weight lifter. Get Outlook for iOS< https://aka.ms/o0ukef>

Asked by Mario | Answered by danpetersen

It's pretty simple you place the ceramic dome on the stand, insert some Ceramic Shields then insert the grill grates. A strong human can lift the dome alone, otherwise 1 helper will suffice. Inside of an hour all in.

Asked by Mario | Answered by matthewrodrigues7

Yes, assembly is required but nothing to difficult. It comes shipped on a pallet to be assembled by owner.

Question:
Can classic III be removed from the stand and installed as a built-in unit?Was This Helpful?
Answers:

Hi Paul, yes it can.

Asked by Paul | Answered by Joey
Question:
I am incredibly interested in the KJ classic lll big joe. But my only concern is grate space. Is there a diagram or pictures to show what can fit on there? For example, how many racks of pork ribs or how many whole chickens and things like that. Thank you!Was This Helpful?
Answers:

Hi Carlo. It all depends on the size of the food you are cooking. The diameter of the grids is 24 inches, and keep in mind that with the divide and conquer system, you can use 2 grates at once to cook on two different levels.

Asked by Carlo | Answered by Joey
Question:
How much clearance does it need from a vinyl siding exterior wall of the house ? Can it we used on a covered porch ?Was This Helpful?
Answers:

Hi, Rich. This grill should have a minimum 10 ft clearance of all combustible materials such as wood, dry plants, grass, brush, paper or canvas.

Question:
What is the recommended manner to properly clean the Joe? Any specific tools or products required?Was This Helpful?
Answers:

Take out the ash tray is pretty easy and put the ashes in your garage bag. The hardest thing is taking out the ring around your ceramic pieces and cleaning up the Ashes that fall out in the holes. In order to put the ring around the pieces of ceramic tiles I have someone help hold the pieces together so that I ring on. Later Paul

Asked by Alison | Answered by pdraz17

Mine stays clean on the ceramic parts.  Has a gorgeous black patina now.  I remove the charcoal basket and vacuum out the COLD ash which was missed by the tray.  I highly recommend the cast iron grates which are a dream to clean.

Question:
Why isn't this offered without stand?Was This Helpful?

Hi Andrew! The Kamado Joe Classic III is only sold with the grill cart but is not permanently attached if you have another base or built in option.

Asked by Andrew | Answered by Tiffany
Question:
Does it really take 6-8 weeks to ship? Why so long. Can I get one in stock somewhere? Thanks in advance.Was This Helpful?
Answers:

Hi Mack, thanks for asking. Unfortunately due to Covid related issues, a lot of manufacturers are playing catch up on production, and it's causing longer shipping times. If you have any other questions please message us on Live Chat or call 877-743-2269 and we'll be happy to help.

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.

This item leaves our warehouse within 3-5 Business Days

$49 Flat-Rate Shipping

Anything under $49 ships at one low price. If your order increases, your shipping stays the same!

30-Day Returns

Return all new, unused, and unassembled items in their original packaging, and we'll give you a full refund minus the cost of the original AND return shipping.

No Restocking Fee

Most companies charge a restocking fee. We just don't do business that way.
