Kamado Joe® Classic Joe™ III Standalone 18-inch Charcoal Grill in Red, Grill Gripper, and Ash Tool

So glad I finally purchased one. I’ve had it a good few months now and have been using it all winter as well.

Excellent value for your money, nice and strong

Expensive, but worth every penny. This grill/oven/smoker takes barbecue to a whole new level. So far we have produced meltingly delicious pulled pork (an 18 hour low smoke we could never have attempted before); creamily tender brisket; the moistest, tenderest roast chicken ever; and drop dead gorgeous pizza. Even relatively mundane dishes like pork chops and steak are elevated by the Kamado’s fierce but controllable charcoal grill.We bought this because we wanted to do a better job of hosting summer parties in our garden. Now we can cook for 20+ at a time with much less stress, and people love the wonderful smoky flavours we produce. But we’ve discovered that this BBQ isn’t just for summer: I have no spent several Friday evenings outside with a hea torch and an umbrella: I think we may end up slow roasting the Xmas turkey too.If you decide to treat yourself, invest in some good supporting literature. I recommend “Pitt Cue & Co”, “The Hang Fire Cookbook”, and “Berber & Q”.

Build quality is mostly great, couple of gripes but worth paying a premium for. I use this all the time, making breakfasts, smoking briskets, grilling steaks, it's so versatile and great to look at as a garden ornament. Lots of accessories, all great too. Only gripe is some times it's hard to remove the ash basket. Highly recommended.

Excellent

After a lot of excitement about our new kamodo Joe barbeque we were very disappointed to find that it was damaged when we opened the box.

The kamado Joe is super! I was indecisive about what bbq to buy, but when Amazon had a sale on, I bit the bullet and never looked back.First of all the delivery was brilliant, straight to my back door. It comes in a palletised box with everything packaged fantastically.It’s a hefty lump, so you will need another person to help you manoeuvre it into place and build it, but the instructions are great and you’ll be smoking in no time.I’ve used it multiple times a week since owning it, and it has really helped me up my smoking and BBQ game. It’s a joy to use and quite the learning curve to learn the nuances of the kamado, but after a few sessions, and a bit of confidence you’ll be smoking for hours on end no trouble.Once you’ve got the hang of temperature control, you’ll be flying!Don’t hesitate, add this to your collection!

If you like your grilling and have time to perfect tour skill this is a toy for you.
