  • 5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the purchase - Reasons why...
This is by far a great upgrade to my previous Big Green Egg. The big green egg I had for 25 years and it had been used at least several time a month since the time I bought it, worked great no problems. I was reading about the Kamado Joe and started looking into it. The reason I replaced my big green egg with the Kamado Joe was for these reasons, first it had a removable drawer for the ash easy to clean, the BGE you have to take the grate out and scrape out the ash with a small scoop. Second and this is main reason that I like the Kamado Joe is the split grill rack that are adjustable heights for variable cooking and the half circle ceramic plates. My BGE I did purchase a ceramic insert plate but it was a full circle plate which prevented the flames from burning the bottom of the grill, but I had to take out the grill and ceramic plate every time I need to add charcoal to the smoker for long cooks. The third reason is the main gasket it is made from a stainless steel mesh which last longer than the felt gasket than on the BGE and does not leak air inside which is easier to control the internal temperature. Finally the fourth reason is the pivoting hinge on the heavy top of the smoker that you can open with your finger. There is nothing wrong with the big green egg and I would still be using it today, but I really like these features of the Kamado Joe as I enjoy cooking with it and plan on having it for 25 plus years in the future. ... show more

  • 4.0 out of 5 stars This is a great Kamado-style grill
I love almost everything about this grill, with the exception of the latch mechanism. This was loose when I received the grill, and promptly fell apart. I was able (with difficulty) to re-assemble it, and now it works fine. The instructions for doing so were non-existent, so even after Googling and YouTubing, I had to just fiddle around with it until I figured it out. Otherwise, the grill is sturdy and well-made, and I am pleased with the quality. ... show more

  • 5.0 out of 5 stars My most favorite Amazon purchase EVER... And it KILLS the BGE...
I have spent a fortune on this dang site... But this Kamado Joe II and the JJ George Table are truly the most satisfying order I have ever made. I never really like the BGE, color, racking system, etc. But the Kamado Joe II solves all of those problems, totally... BGE started in 1972 - Last years estimated revenues were $80M Kamado Joe started in 2009 - Last years estimated revenues were $60M That tells you something there alone... ... show more

  • 4.0 out of 5 stars Good Kamado, bad quality if top vent materials.
Top vent with paint burps after some months of use. The screw does not screw anymore. Bad quality, not what kamado joe should be.

  • 5.0 out of 5 stars Great ceramic cooker
I have used a big green egg for many years liked some features of this one, so when we moved I got one. Sure am happy I did! The mesh seal, locking top and ease of cleaning are big pluses. Haven’t had it too long but it seems to hold its temperature better.
