Big Joe Series III 24-inch Ceramic Charcoal Grill and Smoker with Premium Cart, SloRoller Insert and 450 Cooking Square Inches in Red, Model KJ15041021

Been thrilled so far. A bit larger than I thought or needed, but maybe it's time to throw a large gathering.

This grill is HUGE, its hard to tell from photos the size of this thing. It is very pricey though so make sure this is what you want. I started off with a Chargriller Akorn and used that for around 2 years before deciding we wanted something bigger and longer lasting. The Akorn is a great grill and I still have it and I'm planning to move that to our cabin, but there is certainly big differences between the two but then you would hope so for a ~$2000 price difference. So far have made pulled pork, pork ribs, beef ribs, spatchcock chicken, and pizza on the new grill. The grill is able to handle everything we've thrown at it and the food all comes out great. The only complaint I have so far is not actually with the grill but with the Amazon "Expert Assembly" I got it because it was free at the time and this grill is so heavy. I tried to reach out several times to make sure they were aware this is a very big and very heavy grill and not a lightweight gas grill like they probably do a ton of. I had no luck getting through to anyone to understand my concern or make sure they're prepared with multiple attempts. As a result of course they sent one small guy to try to assemble my grill all by himself. Of course he couldn't do this solo and we even took a picture of him next to it (he barely stood higher than the crate) which he sent to his boss. Then the next guy to get scheduled was also alone, luckily he was able to get someone else to show up, but it's rather ridiculous that it was so disorganized. Once they had the right number of people they did a great job and I don't blame any of the technicians but the management and scheduling of the service needs to improve. When all the stats of what is being assembled are right there on the item page and I tried to warn them multiple times of the size and weight they should do a better job.

The assembly it’s easier than you may think, only two person needed, the quality on this unit it’s amazing, this Kamado Big Joe 3 worth every penny, I’m located in New England the day I did the first burn the temp was 23 degrees outside, added about one and half pound of charcoal, ignited the charcoal at 2:00 pm and at 11:00 pm was still going at 320 degrees. This grill it’s amazing

We use this grill to smoke ribs, steak and chicken. We also used it took cook several pizzas. It is a large grill which allows us to smoke/grill enough meat for big crowd

100% Blown away by my Big Joe III! I have wanted one for as long as I could remember. Well worth the money. This thing is tight and solid as a rock. Easy assembly with two reasonably strong people to lift into the stand. Gets hot enough to sear steaks leaving a crust on the outside and rare in the middle. Smoked the best and most moist Turkey I’ve ever had. Held temperature great in 30 degree weather. Doesn’t use much char wood to get and stay at your desired temperature.
