Kamado Joe Big Joe III 24-inch Standalone Charcoal Grill in Red, Grill Gripper, and Ash Tool - KJ15040821

Purchased series 3 grill about 4 months ago and am very happy with purchase. Item was excellently packaged and due to it being very susceptible to breakage, I was very concerned. Could not of been packaged any better. Grill works great, just taking time to find out best way to control heat. Just smoked some salmon for 8 hours and it turn out perfectly. Very happy with my purchase.

Let me start from the outside and work my way in. The exterior is so stylish: our friends and neighbors are enamored of it from first sight. That scarlet red, that shape, that sense of serious cooking. And as you move in, a great versatility of configurations -- one grill, two; deflectors, separator, drip pan holder. There is no dogmatic aspect to this and you can configure it according to needs and desires. It builds up great heat. We've had it only a few weeks but have used it for great dishes ranging from crusty pizza to perfect steak. I so look forward to getting into it more.

The best smoke flavor and control that money can buy!

The Big Joe III is a versatile grill for diverse cooking styles. Its large size makes it easy to do two zone cooking or not need to always use multiple levels or move hot grates around. I like that it can cook everything from searing steaks to slow-smoking. It's a premium price but it's an all-in-one champ that gives great results. All I need in my backyard is a Big Joe III and a flat top to do just anything!

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.

If you never cooked or smoked with a kamado joedon't be intimidated. I was a avg. gas griĺler and de ided to buy a classic joe 3 and it has been a life changer for me and the family. I was nervous about the iniitail spend, but the amazing foodyou can make off a kamado is so worth it. Cuicken, pizza, steaks, ribs, roasts and veggies taste so awesome my family just gobbles it up and the leftovers the next day are gone by noon!

Love it,great and easy to use, insulated heat so well compared to my Weber

I've used every type of grill and barbecue pit out there and recently purchased a Big Joe III. This pit is amazing. My briskets come out with great bark, super tender and juicy pork butts pull easily, and my steaks get the perfect sear. I've also baked bread, enchiladas, and amazing pizza. Everything's better on the big Joe. My only regret is I didn't buy one 10 years ago.

These Kamado's are way better than the BGE competitor in terms of quality, features and design. Kamado warranty snd service is top notch. Had a crack in my porcelain base, and they shipped a new part in less than a week at no charge - no questions asked. Good luck finding that type of service toddy.

Primarily use this for smoking but man is it a workhorse. So efficient. With a full coal basket I can smoke at 250F for 12 hours, open it up and it will still burn at 350F+ for several more while using the slo roller attachment (don't use that above 450F). That being said I'd like to see the KJ team innovate some better top vents that don't get so gunked up. And if you're the aggressive high heat grill master, you might find the grates a little flimsy. Though I think those may be improved in newer models. I recommend this to anyone looking to buy a grill for life!
