    • Most magnificent grill I've ever cooked on!
Style: Joe Junior Pattern Name: Grill
I've bought overly large propane grills (non-Weber) in the past thinking it was such a "good deal" when they weren't Weber grills and just too big other than for large parties. Here's the thing, if you like to smoke OR grill x2-x3 a week with minimal cleaning and the biggest draw for me was the temperature control w/ the LEAST AMOUNT OF FUEL being used, ceramic type of charcoal grilling is the way to go: 1. It's better than propane. Cooking w/ charcoal gives you that char-taste that you CAN NOT get from propane unless you buy special grilling meat injector fluid that mimics that charcoal taste 2. Excellent temperature control. It's a pain in the ass to do this w/ a metal small charcoal grill (which I'd still take over a propane grill, btw). 3. FUEL CONSUMPTION (this is actually the #1 REASON WHY I bought this type of grill). The more you grill, the more you'll save in fuel costs over time. I have a metal weber kettle grill (18") and it uses at minimum x2-x3 times more fuel (due to the heat dissipating via the metal). The ceramic is #1 in this area in conserving your fuel and heat. Go to BJ's or Costco and BUY the LUMP CHARCOAL, NOT the BRIQUETTES (that's for the metal charcoal grills) from there . 4. Convenience of cooking outside vs inside for certain foods. To me, cooking pizza (oven needs to get to 500 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, which usually takes 1/2 hr or more minimum if you use a pizza stone). IF you use a GrillBlazer Grill SV Gun (which I bought, but it's a tad expensive, so try to get something similar if you want to save time) you'll save yourself like 15-20 minutes for the coals to get hot enough if you use a grill gun vs a charcoal chimney starter (which is fine too if you don't have the $). Also, it's heats up way hotter and quicker in my opinion (if you use a grill gun) than a conventional oven in your house. PLUS you'll more than likely NOT HAVE a FALSE ALARMS from the fire alarms in your house once the temperatures get hot enough and create that smoke. 5. Easy clean up. Open the bottom and use the tool they provide you to scrap the ashes out. Done within 30-60 seconds. That's it! I've bought 2 of these since I fell in love with this grill so much. I understand if you want to save money and look at cheap chinese brands here on Amazon or elsewhere, but think twice. If you're spending $100+ on something you'll think you'll be using for a long time: (1) Are you confident it behaves in the same way that a Green Egg or a Kamado Joe would? (2) if the ceramic CRACKS, will the company cover the warranty on it? It's totally up to whatever your budget allows. FYI, if choose the more expensive shipping option if you buy this, because #1, I used the Amazon Prime Free Shipping method and the grill came CRACKED on the inside and outside (it was a small crack, but it's ENOUGH to cause problems when cooking). Your grill should have NO CRACKS, contact Kamado Joe immediately and take pics with your phone and ask them if the crack is manageable or should you send it back. And god forbid it's cracked and you have to send it back, it's going to be a pain in the ass. SAVE THE GREEN SHIPPING STRAPS, DO NOT THROW THEM OUT UNTIL YOU'VE INSPECTED THE GRILL FOR CRACKS. To avoid this problem, I choose Amazon's option for "Inside Entryway" SCHEDULED SHIPPING (just pay the $10 more), it's worth it and you'll save yourself A LOT of headache. I wish I did it the 1st time. There will be 2 guys to move your grill to wherever you want it. ... show more

    • Manado Joe Jr
Style: Joe Junior Pattern Name: Grill
Have done two briskets, two chickens and some baby back ribs. All came out really good. The value is the best deal out there. Get the right lump charcoal and regulate with the vents and it will hold temperature for 10 plus hours. Maybe more. Tons of instructional videos. Watch them as there is a bit of a learning curve. $299 inc. shipping was too good to pass up. Came well packed with no damage issues. Happy pitmaster here! ... show more

    • Good purchase, but a little wobbly in stand
Style: Joe Junior Pattern Name: Grill
Only used this so far one time. I like it, but 2 things I have a problem with. For one thing when you open the lid it moves the whole grill backwards because it's not stable in the stand. I was afraid it would fall off of the table and crack on the patio, but I don't think that will happen. Hopefully I can make it more secure somehow. The other problem is that I wasn't familiar with the charcoal that I ordered with the grill (kamado joe big lump charcoal) seems to have a strong smell and probably should only be used if you like the strong smoking taste. I am not an expert yet, but I am learning and I will continue to experiment with the grill. All in all I think it is a great grill/smoker and worth the purchase. ... show more

    • Arrived Damaged But Works Well

The Kamado Joe Jr arrived cracked but it still functionally works. My understanding is that cracks in kamado eggs can be fixed with refractory cement so I'll give that a try. For the first cook I used a small amount of lump coal (1 mini charcoal chimney worth) and with that small fire the unit held 300 F for several hours, much longer than my Weber charcoal kettle grill. Adding more coal will get you higher temps. With that I slow cooked 2 tri-tips for about 30 mins and then seared them on my gas grill's searing station to finish them off - terrific results. With the Jr space is limited on the small grill but 2 tri-tips had plenty of room. I live alone and have other larger grills for parties but the Jr would probably be tricky to do a variety of outdoor cooks for a family of 4. Burgers sure but little room for meat & veggies concurrently. 10-inch griddle fits well for cooking breakfast and fry cooks. Stars added for its' compact size on my limited size patio and for how well it held temperature. Star deducted for arriving damaged (unit arrived upside down in the box which was open at one end so I inspected for damage right away). ... show more

    • Hotter than green egg
Style: Joe Junior Pattern Name: Grill
Hated the delivery. Left it sitting at bottom of my driveway 150 yds away from house and it’s too heavy and awkward for one person to pick up. If you buy one of these from amzn, you better be friends with a neighbor in good shape with a pickup truck. As for grill itself, it’s great. Half the price of green egg the same size. Can reach way higher temperature and uses less charcoal. I know because my kamado jr replaced medium green egg that I had for decade. Green egg Dome broke when I was adjusting bands to cure underbite. ... show more

    • Great for small families
Style: Joe Junior Pattern Name: Grill
I had used a bigger Kamado grill for years, but I managed to knock it over and pretty much destroy it. It was always bigger than what I really needed for my wife and me, and the Junior is just the right size. Very easy to bring up to temperature and to maintain that temperature. Very fuel efficient too. I bought the soapstone accessory, and for searing steaks, veggies or seafood it's a great addition. If you're not cooking for a huge crowd, this is probably all the Kamado you will ever need. ... show more
