Love this grill!

I bought my Big Joe III from a guy moving and he could not take it with him. 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.

Best decision I have ever made !

Sold my high end pellet smoker as I felt the flavor and performance was a bit generic. My Kamado Joe exceeds expectations. Performance, flexibility and quality is unmatched.

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.

Grilled cabbage and pork belly.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Can the classic III be installed without the legs and shelves in a "built-in" arrangement? Don't see on the website an option for this one like the classic II.Was This Helpful?
Answers:

Hi Michael! The KJ Classic III will ship with the leg stand, but yes, you can install it as a built-in configuration by leaving the leg stand detached.

Hi Marge. This count only accounts for one 18-inch grill rack.

Question:
How well does the material the grill is made of hold up in extreme cold temps? Would I have to worry about cracking or any other damage when exposed to sub freezing or close to zero degree weather?Was This Helpful?
Answers:

Hi Anthony! Great question but there is no need to worry about damage to your Kamado Joe in extremely cold temperatures. You can even keep on grilling in this weather! Just let the grill warm up a little slower by starting the coals in the grill rather than dropping hot charcoal into the grill. The ceramic will hold heat just as well as it does in the summer. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

Asked by Anthony S. | Answered by Tiffany

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 24 Hours

$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.
