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.

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.

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.

I've had the BigJoe for a few years now and love everything about it. But I think the best is the consistent heat and burn of the charcoal. Would definitely recommend.

I have been part of the Kamado Joe for 5 years now…first with the classic and now with the Big Joe III and I can't say enough about them! Amazing quality, both in the grill itself and the bbq I'm able to achieve. Would recommend to anyone serious about bbq!!

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.

Asked by Dolly | Answered by TiffanyHi Brian. Both are available in a stand-alone version, which comes with removable ceramic feet. The free-standing versions can also be removed from their cart for use in built-in applications.
Asked by Brian S. | Answered by JoeyHi 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.
Asked by Michael | Answered by KyleHi Jim. There is some assembly required on the part of the end user.
Asked by Jim | Answered by JoeyHi John. The free accessories include: a grate gripper, ash tool, the 3-tier Divide & Conquer cooking system (flexible cooking rack, accessory rack, two half-moon cooking grids and two half-moon heat deflectors), and a SloRoller insert. These all come with your purchase and cannot be customized.
Asked by John | Answered by JoeyHi 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!

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.
