We love our K. Joe, Jr.!
A perfect Christmas Gift from the family to a guy who grills in some fashion 5-6 days a week. This is my forth cooker "on staff" , and we so look forward to our week-ends with it. Perfect for empty-nesters like us, but we have fed 6 on one cooking cycle. It was a lot of fun learning to use it, and...

Grill Table manufactured alignment WRONG
I bought this as all the recommendations are great. The unit came very professionally packed all good. When I took the gill table and tried to insert it in the grill cart 4 legs into four holes. Not rocket science. The grill table was manufactured incorrectly and did not align to fit. Tried every po...
Customers say
Overall sentiment is mostly positive, with many reviewers praising cooking performance, even heat, and solid build quality. However, several reports of fit/assembly problems, bent or damaged parts on arrival, and difficult customer support/returns keep confidence from being completely universal.

Great Product. Love my new Kamado. I have owned a Large Big Green Egg for years and decided to go with the Big Joe this time. because of the extras being included making the final cost of the product less than going with the Big green Egg. I really don't care for the firebox on the Big Joe compared to the Big Green Egg. You have to worry about knocking the metal ring off the petals and its a pain to put together but I will get used to it. The deflector plate system does work better than the plate setter on a Big Green Egg since it covers more area and you can use just one for 2 zone cooking compared to the plate setter on the Big Green Egg.

I love this grill. This is the upgrade I been waiting for from the weber kettle. I only have one recommendation instead of two catches to hold the grill grates add 4-6 to secure the grates.
Perfect grill for a family of five!
Verified Buyer
It is one of the most amazing grills I have ever used! It makes perfect kababs, smoked tofu, and pizzas are just amazing! My kids and family enjoys our outdoor cookouts and food is ready in a jiffy! Very easy to use.

I bought my Kamado Joe about 15 years after using a friends competitors cooker. I absolutely love it and tell all my friends about it. It has really good temp control and the meats stay very moist. I highly recommend the product. The only drawback is customer service. You cannot talk to anyone except by email or chat. And they offer no details about the accuracy of fit for replacement parts. Very poor service. That is hard to swallow. But great product.
Free Shipping
Don't do the free shipping when its offered. They lie and say you'll get the grill within 5 business days but in reality they use AIT shipping and it will take 13 business days / 17 days total. Other than that at this price no need in spending double for the newer vent cap or whatever is different on the classic 2 or 3. This classic 1 cooks just the same. And you can purchase and modify any parts you want cheaper.

I used the Classic Joe I for the first time and it impressed me! Everything about it was great and it's so enjoyable to use. Every other grill seems like it would be a downgrade.

Verified Buyer
The grill arrived in excellent condition, and I am looking forward to using it a lot, it does a great job. This is the basic version, no cover or any extras.
