Love the Kamado Joe Grills, the gasket, latch, top, and hinge are AWESOME! Their innovation drive by the customer base is like no other in the market. Expect more to come from this company!
The fire box looks interesting. I have a 2015 KJ Classic and am on my 3rd fire box. I think they had a problem with them cracking prematurely ... might be the reason for the new design.
This is the grill of all grills. I drool lookin at these things all day... cant afford it. are they going to seel the KJ II for less since the III's are out?
Hi Pitmaster X Roel I have just placed an order for the Kamado Joe Big. I think here in Australia we get ripped off big time. Just under $3000.00AUD. Keep the Kamado Joe videos coming. Regards
Enjoyed your video, I have the older Big Joe and love it but it did have some shortcomings which the new version has addressed. I think the old version topped the "other" green kamado type grill but this new one appears to leave it in the dust.
Hi Roel is the any chance that you could do a tutorial on how to adjust the Temperature on the Kamado Joe's. Today I tried to do a smoke and could not get it to the right temp of 110c. The best that I could do was 130 to 147c. I use a charcoal that was low heat but the day was hot 31c and very windy. Not sure if that had anything to do with it. Regards Rob
I'm a Monolith supporter, but to be honest this new Kamado Joe have a lot of nice and usable features. So it will be interesting which experiences you will be make!
I did a beer can chicken just to burn it in. It will be fully tested this weekend. I can't have moisture dripping on the grill grate. I will test that thouroly. It is logical that moist condenses on the cold top vent, but the vent should het rid of that. I will definitely test it and talk about it in my review
how is this grill stand with cold ,snow rain out door weather?, and how long a 1 fill of charcoal last for cooking?...can you please shed some lights???, thanks a bunch !!!
+Hoang Nguyen you can put it inn the snow and it will keep going... y ou can put it in the rain and it keeps going.... at least 24 hours on one load of charcoal
I bought a coyote roasted ceramic grill used for 40% less than the value practiced in retail ... I loved ... lots of quality, but I recognize that the kamado joe are better ...
Deze nieuwe versie joe heeft een veelzijdig ventiel dat op zijn plaats blijft , rvs schroeven, nieuw verderlicht lift systeem voor de bovenkant en je hebt een firebox divider. Heeft een primo dan nog wel een voordeel hierop ? Want door deze innovaties zie ik (met mijn beperkte ervaring!) er geen meer ?
Shop around if that is the price point you find them. Amazon.com has the Regular Joe (18") for $1065. I got my Joe in 2014 from a local Texas store for about the same price.
Hey PitmasterX at first congratulation for your good videos - I think the quality of your video work is excellent. The search of Kamado Joe 2017 points me to your channel. I have watched many of your BBQ videos since a found your channel - they are all great ;-) Now I own the Kamado Joe “Big Joe” and made my first videos (It is not so easy at the beginning) . I will stay tuned to your channel Greetings from Germany Heinz
Whats better than one Kamado Joe... two Kamado Joes. If I were to get a ceramic grill it would be the Kamado Big Joe or the Primo Oval XL because of there versatility with all the accessories. Now...What will Pitmaster X first cook be? Something epic... stay tuned.
Goede vraag Maurice.. het reviewen van producten doe ik niet tegen betaling. Ik wil zo in staat zijn om mijn eigen mening te vormen en te kunnen geven. Meestal review ik wel producten waar ik achter sta en die mij goede producten lijken, maar soms komt er een product langs wat minder goed uit de keuring komt. Het is wel mening en niet echt wetenschappelijk onderbouwd. Wil je zo'n barbecue gaan aanschaffen dan raad ik je aan om toch even langs een winkel te gaan die meerdere merken en modellen heeft staan, zodat je je eigen mening kan vormen. Beantwoord dat je vraag?
I can only assume they don't like the cold weather. I bought it last year and within a week I had to replace the shelves. They are again starting to crack. I don't hold any hope they will make it another year. The gasket look like a huge improvement, it appears to be more like a stove gasket from the video. That was another area that was a problem in the winter the gasket would freeze and you couldn't open the lid.
Hi Roel! Ik ben een jarenlange Weber gebruiker; heeft het volgens jouw expertise zin om te investeren in zo'n prachtapparaat? Gaat het mijn bbq ervaring tot nog grotere hoogte brengen? Groot fan van jou UA-cam kanaal, groet Gert-Jan
+Gert-Jan de Vries Hoi Gert Jan... zeker. Als je al jaren op de weber bezig bent en je wil toch met grote regelmaat de barbecue aan hebben. Ook in de kou en regen, dan is een investering als deze... een goede investering. Het beste is een winkel op te zoeken waar ze veel of alle merke kamado barbecues hebben staan en zelf te ervaren wat goed bij je past.
Love the Kamado Joe Grills, the gasket, latch, top, and hinge are AWESOME! Their innovation drive by the customer base is like no other in the market. Expect more to come from this company!
Me too Tom
I love the new designs, Kamado Joe really know how to improve their lines. Great overview Roel.
+Tom's Test Kitchen Thanks Tom... yes they did an awesome job
The fire box looks interesting. I have a 2015 KJ Classic and am on my 3rd fire box. I think they had a problem with them cracking prematurely ... might be the reason for the new design.
+Don Leger I can imagine that Don. Don't think this is likely to crack
Can you please show us how much coal to use and how exactly to set up for a long smoke please
This is the grill of all grills. I drool lookin at these things all day... cant afford it. are they going to seel the KJ II for less since the III's are out?
Great review Roel! Major upgrades to Kamado Joe. It was a fantastic grill/smoker/cooker before, but it only got better! Much better :D
thanks Rus... it really is a great smoker now!
really like that top vent on the big Joe, the bge better start to upgrade there grill
Me too... yeah KJ raised the bar for all the other ceramic brands.
Hi Pitmaster X Roel I have just placed an order for the Kamado Joe Big. I think here in Australia we get ripped off big time. Just under $3000.00AUD. Keep the Kamado Joe videos coming. Regards
Congrats brother... actually that is cheaper than our prices. In the USA they are cheaper I think.
Enjoyed your video, I have the older Big Joe and love it but it did have some shortcomings which the new version has addressed. I think the old version topped the "other" green kamado type grill but this new one appears to leave it in the dust.
Thanks Patrick... that's awesome... I'love how companies improve their products over and over again.

Hi Robert.. good suggestion.. I will think of a video like that!
Your a Champion.
Always enjoy your videos and I can't wait to see you put these thru their paces! Congrats!!
Thanks Scott... stick around ..its coming!
What is the advantage of kama style grills like egg or joe over dedicated smoker + dedicated grill combo?
Its versatile and stable... especially compared to the bullet smokers
Cervelo R5 they are amazingly fuel efficient, you can maintain a smoking temp for days without refueling.
Great review, Roel!
Right back at ya Justin!
I'm a Monolith supporter, but to be honest this new Kamado Joe have a lot of nice and usable features. So it will be interesting which experiences you will be make!
Monolith grill are great as well. Recipe videos will be coming soon.
have you cooked on it yet? I have a new one and I noticed the new lid drips out alot of moisture and it drips right on the grill.

Thank you for such a good review. I have had a BGE large for over ten years. I love it. However, it seems that Kamado Joe is gaining.
+Tina Entz Thanks Tina.. the BGE is still a great cooker ... and its not a competition. As long as you getting great results on your grill 👍😀
how is this grill stand with cold ,snow rain out door weather?, and how long a 1 fill of charcoal last for cooking?...can you please shed some lights???, thanks a bunch !!!

thank you PitMaster !
Thos grills looked awesome Roel. Have fun with them.
+Mother's BBQ Thanks Chris..I sure will.😁
Can I ask how many BBQ pits do you currently have, Pitmaster?
Sure Yvonne... I think I have around 20 or so... but most of them I loaned to friends and family.
That's the best Unboxing-Video I have ever seen. Can't wait for Saturday 😉
Hahahhah thanks buddy...glad you like it! See you saterday!

.... ik zou zeggen ...goed gezien. Sterker nog ..door de innovaties loopt deze kamado voor op vele concurenten.
looks great! can't wait to see them in action
Thanks... I can't wait to fire them up!
Nice pick!
Thanks!!
Looks good. some nice new features.
+Jamie Cole Thanks Jamie! Can't wait to fire it up and see how it performs.
cool grills
looks study and tough
perhaps my next grill
we see
Thanks... they look super good... I'll make a few videos on them and then I will do a review.
Yeah they look great,cooks great also,but that's investment. Dunno how much they are in Holland,here in US about $2k.
Wow... thats about the same as here.. I though the would be cheaper in the states
Nope a lot of $$$$$
Shop around if that is the price point you find them. Amazon.com has the Regular Joe (18") for $1065. I got my Joe in 2014 from a local Texas store for about the same price.
Costco is selling the classic for 779.00 on tour with demo.
I love a good unboxing video, I can't wait to see them in action Roel!
Thanks Michael.. glad you like it.. Can't wait to fire them up
Good BBQ grill and good introduction.I like it.
Thanks Krystal!
Unreal.
Looking forward to seeing them in action.
Thanks Dorian..they truly are. They will be featured soon

Looks Awesome!!! Too bad I can't afford another $2K to keep current.
+David Jurkowski Thats a shame David ... whi knows maybe in the future
Sehr schöner und gut durchdachter Grill. Gefällt mir sehr gut mit den neuen Ideen die hier umgesetzt wurden.
Gruß Pit
Danke pit! It really is a great improvement on the average ceramic grill

zeker dank voor je uitgebreide betoog!
nou de volgende vraag weet jij een winkel in nederland waar meerder merken staan om te vergelijken vond deze review al wel top
thnx
Heb je de Staatsloterij gewonnen Roel ? lol. Mooie Q's, goed gebruiken die Joe's :-)
Hahahahha was dat maar waar :D
Gaat helemaal goed komen. Die blijven niet lang wit!
Man, looks easier to setup than my BGE. Half-way assembled would've saved me a BUNCH of f-bombs back in the day!
Hahah it sure was... you can setup this grill with a neighbor easily. The BGE is a bit more challenging.
Oh, Holy Shit😜i need this Grill.
Nice unboxing , thx for this.
M&G BBQ
Thanks bro... they are serious grills
woooow.....!!!, so awesome.......!!!!
Thanks G !
Great 👍👍
+Thorsten Harendt Thabks Thorsten 🤘🔥🤘
The big Joe looks like it's the same size
The Big joe is huge!!!
👍👌it is a perfekt grill👍👍👍
+Jacklamotta 001 so far it looks really good 👍😎
Te gusta más Kamado Joe que un Big Green egg?
I can't disagree more with the use of plastic shelves. I've already had to replace the shelves once because they cracked.
+John Spence Oh wow John.. what happend how did that happen?
I can only assume they don't like the cold weather. I bought it last year and within a week I had to replace the shelves. They are again starting to crack. I don't hold any hope they will make it another year.
The gasket look like a huge improvement, it appears to be more like a stove gasket from the video. That was another area that was a problem in the winter the gasket would freeze and you couldn't open the lid.
