Customer Reviews

Overall rating: 3.7 / 5 from 3 reviews.

I mainly wanted something for family dinners, not competition barbecue. It has been perfect for that.

Pellet Joe®

We used it for a graduation party and it handled a lot more food than I expected.

Pellet Joe®

I have owned cheaper smokers that technically worked but made every cook harder than necessary. This feels more refined.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

What makes Kamado Joe different from a standard grill?

Kamado Joe grills use thick ceramic construction to retain heat and moisture extremely well. This gives you better temperature stability and lets one grill handle low-and-slow smoking, high-heat searing, roasting, baking, and everyday grilling.

Which Kamado Joe model is right for me?

The Classic Joe® is a great all-around choice for most backyards, while the Big Joe® offers significantly more cooking space for larger families and entertaining. Joe Jr.® is better for smaller spaces or portability, and Konnected Joe™ models add digital temperature control and app connectivity.

How long does a Kamado Joe take to heat up?

For normal grilling temperatures, allow roughly 15–20 minutes once the charcoal is lit. Higher searing temperatures may take a little longer, while low-and-slow cooking is typically set up gradually for stable heat control.

Can I smoke, grill, and bake with the same Kamado Joe?

Yes. That versatility is one of the main reasons people choose a kamado grill. With the right setup and accessories, you can smoke brisket, grill steaks, roast chicken, cook pizza, bake bread, and more on the same grill.

What warranty does Kamado Joe include?

Kamado Joe provides a limited lifetime warranty on key ceramic components for the original purchaser. Other components have shorter warranty periods depending on the part, including metal, cast iron, electronics, heat deflectors, pizza stones, and accessories.

Does a Kamado Joe use a lot of charcoal?

No. The ceramic body is highly efficient at holding heat, so a properly managed Kamado Joe can run for long cooking sessions on a relatively small amount of lump charcoal.

Can I use regular charcoal briquettes?

Kamado Joe recommends lump charcoal because it lights cleanly, reaches high temperatures, and produces less ash. It also helps maintain better airflow during long cooks.

Is Kamado Joe difficult to use for beginners?

There is a short learning curve, mainly around airflow and temperature control, but the basic system is simple. Once you understand the top and bottom vents, maintaining stable temperatures becomes very straightforward.
