Description
Our Kamado Joe Classic III includes our newest innovation, the revolutionary SloRoller Hyperbolic Smoke Chamber insert. Harnessing the power of cyclonic airflow technology to control heat and smoke, the SloRoller insert is designed to perfect the taste and texture of food on low-and-slow cooks up to 500F, and is easily swapped out for heat deflector plates when searing or grilling at higher temperatures. As with its predecessor, the Classic II, it also features a thick-walled, heat-resistant shell that locks in smoke and moisture at any temperature.

The grill was delivered quickly and on time to my patio out back by the logistics folks. It arrives on a large pallet. First things first, I inspected the packaging for any damage as other reviews I saw had some issues with that. Thankfully, everything was in tact and undamaged. Assembly: Unpacking it took a while, just due to the sheer size. LOTS of Styrofoam!! I ended up putting the large outside box back on the pallet and just filled it with all the packaging. First things first, I assembled the stand. Not too bad at all. From there I ended up having to lift the grill by myself onto the nest. The bottom vent provided a handy handhold - but I would recommend getting at least another person if you're lifting it up. I'm in decent shape but the process would've been MUCH easier with a little help! These grills are HEAVY! Getting the bottom ceramic plates assembled was a bit tricky - but I eventually got them all in there. Note, I've had them fall out from the ring attachment here and there, so I've had to re-assemble them a few times. From there it was just putting everything else on, the side shelves, the Slo-Roller, the x-ring attachment, deflector plates, and grill grates. The directions were very clear and concise. Initial burn: I also purchased some Kamado Joe lump charcoal as well as their fire starters. I filled the charcoal basket, fired it up, and just let it burn for a while. I did this to burn off any dust/lingering Styrofoam/manufacturing residue. Easy peasy! First cook: I had watched a hefty amount of YouTube videos leading up to my decision to buy this beast. It seemed to be pretty easy to use and control the temps. I did futz around with the vents a lot, but that was mostly just out of anxiety, worrying I was going to ruin my beautiful meat!! I ended up doing a pork shoulder and following a recipe and game plan from Smoking Dad BBQ (HIGHLY recommend this YT channel if you have a KJ or are considering one). Dry brined the pork with a rub the night before, then the day of the cook, followed his instructions. A big thing to keep in mind when cooking on the KJ is to be very patient and deliberate when building the fire. You need to wait for the ceramics to heat up and the dome to get heat soaked. This is super important as this grill is incredibly efficient and it helps you ensure you've got the right temps. Even though I messed with the vents a lot the temperature stayed very consistent. Long story short, the pork turned out great, but I didn't put in enough charcoal so I ended up having to transfer the pork to my oven for the final hour of the cook. Either way, my family was very happy with the results! Great bark, first smoke ring I've ever achieved while grilling/smoking anything, and phenomenal flavor. It really does make a difference! Maintenance: I haven't really had to give this one much thought so far as it's basically cleaned itself. You can crank up the temps and burn most of the grease and other residue off after you're done cooking. I imagine I'll have to clean and de-grease my Slo-Roller soon as I've had some drippings come down on the outer ring. Haven't had any issues yet. That's one of the reasons I went with the KJ over like a Traeger to be honest - even though there's more of a learning curve, long-term the maintenance aspect is just so much easier with a charcoal grill. Final thoughts: I love this thing. It's a jack of all trades. I'm still learning, still experimenting. Fuel management is a big thing for me right now. It's a constant give and take trying to figure out the perfect amount of charcoal to throw in for whatever I'm cooking. We've done whole chicken, ribs, chicken wings, and another pork shoulder, all have turned out amazing. Brisket is on the list but it's also pretty intimidating!! Keep in mind that this does have a learning curve but it isn't as bad as you might think. Just do your research, watch lots of videos, and experiment on your own. Extra thoughts: I would highly recommend getting a Meater thermometer - this really takes the guesswork out of the cooking. I'd say it's a must for any grilling and smoking regardless of the type of cooker you get. Also get lots of tin foil, the foil boat method is a keeper. I also ended up getting one of those grill guns. They're super fun to use, a little scary, but they make starting the fire insanely easy. Which was really the biggest rub for my first couple cooks, lighting the charcoal could be a PITA and required a lot of babysitting. Buy good meat, take your time, and plan your cooks, and you will be loving your KJ as much as I love mine.

Very nice grill. Assembly was simple, the recommendation to have two people to lift the grill into the base is a good one. Fired it up and cooked some chicken, nice even heat, very stable temperature over time. Easy to make find adjustments to the airflow and by extension the temperature. Rack, fire basket and all ceramics are very high quality, no issues at all. Second night I cooked a pizza on a pizza stone set on the top rack. Came out great. After assembly, the most important thing to Reid this is not a gas or electric oven. Give it time to warm up, and it will yield wonderfully delicious results.

Ive owned gas grill and small weber smokey mountain smoker only. They serve their purposes good enough but i wanted to really get into this hobby of bbq. I got this kamado joe classic 3 through fantastic deal which gave me 500 dollars off. I was worrying a bit about delivery since it was being delivered by 3rd party due to sizes and the weight. It was a bit inconvenient but regardless they delivered the package safely in somewhat timely manner considering the size of the grill (took me 2 weeks and i did not pay for shipping). The grill itself is truly the king of the grill. Ive never used kamado style grill before but I was constantly amazed how well it retains the heat for long time. Easy to clean and maintain too. This product speaks quality. 2000 dollar price tag is not a joke but think about what you are getting yourself into. This product is for serious bbq enthusiasts for sure unless you are just rich af.

We previously owned a Classic Joe II, which we had to sell for a long distance relocation. Ordered this and we are really impressed. It included so many accessories that I normally would have had to buy on my own separately. The upgrades on this are top notch and we love it. Stable, sturdy, well designed, flexible options and perfect grilling. Highly recommend.

After lots of research of this series 3 versus the previous two, and compare/contrast against the egg, I went with this. The sloroller, divide-and-conquer, and grate/plate kit provided with the base purchase are super attractive. A month later, I finally have it, and assembly was easy enough if you discount the missing/bent parts. This is the result of two deliveries. The first one was obviously rejected as you can see the hole blown into the box by a forklift and damage to the shell visible through that hole. I have no idea why the delivery person even bothered. The second delivery was a box that was apparently destroyed as they slid the exposed grill onto the lift, along with all the boxes they could find(yes, parts are missing), and I retrieved my convertible dolly to unload as it was 1) better than theirs(they even remarked how they needed one like mine) and 2) the lift didn't come down to ground level, so the plywood pallet was slid off of the lowered lift onto my dolly. Since the inspection didn't show any apparent cracks in the shell, I went ahead and accepted it. After the delivery truck returned to my residence with another box found in the truck(wheels for the grill), most of the assembly was completed. There is a bent hinge mount for the side tray, and a random washer and nut found in the body amongst the dust and exploded silica packet balls that were everywhere. The ash tool is missing, ceramic feet are missing, and the hinge engagement tool kit is nowhere to be found. I'm not sure if the plan was to sent out the busted one first to offload this one, but XPO is really failing at the handling part of shipping and handling here, even forgiving getting this thing a month later.

After having to retire my Chargriller offset smoker, due to it's age and increased air inleakage, I explored my options. I am so happy I chose this Kamado Joe unit. The temperature control is really easy and is Rock Solid once you set your vents correctly for the temperature you want. It has been a dream to use compared to my old offset. The size is perfect for our small family. The included accessories are a huge plus. For a larger family or larger groups you may want to go wth a larger version. I highly recommend this product.

First the customer service from Amazon - I had to contact them a couple times, and they were extremely helpful and went out of their way to take care of it for me. Spot on service. The smoker/grill - Dialing in the temperature has a learning curve, but not much. Plenty of tutorials out there on what to do. The heat retention on this thing is great. I did a burn in with almost a full basket of briquettes and the coals were still burning in the morning at about 250F, which is a huge difference compared to my Masterbuilt Gravity Series 1050. My 1050 eats through charcoal. No regrets on this purchase.
