KJ23RH Classic I Smoker BBQ, Outdoor Charcoal Barbecue Grill In Red With Cast Iron Cart, Heat Deflectors And Ash Tool

The kamado Joe is super! I was indecisive about what bbq to buy, but when Amazon had a sale on, I bit the bullet and never looked back. First of all the delivery was brilliant, straight to my back door. It comes in a palletised box with everything packaged fantastically. It’s a hefty lump, so you will need another person to help you manoeuvre it into place and build it, but the instructions are great and you’ll be smoking in no time. I’ve used it multiple times a week since owning it, and it has really helped me up my smoking and BBQ game. It’s a joy to use and quite the learning curve to learn the nuances of the kamado, but after a few sessions, and a bit of confidence you’ll be smoking for hours on end no trouble. Once you’ve got the hang of temperature control, you’ll be flying! Don’t hesitate, add this to your collection!

I bought this kamado bbq to replace an old steel bbq. I’m very impressed with it, I use less charcoal and the results are impressive. Too bad that original add ons like rotisserie and pizza oven are so expensive. I recommend it!

Build quality is mostly great, couple of gripes but worth paying a premium for. I use this all the time, making breakfasts, smoking briskets, grilling steaks, it's so versatile and great to look at as a garden ornament. Lots of accessories, all great too. Only gripe is some times it's hard to remove the ash basket. Highly recommended.

Excellent value for your money, nice and strong

The grill is great. No fault with the product but the vendor's judgement to use Arrow XL is questionable. Our issue is what we endured to get this delivered more than 2 weeks late on 22 March. Arrow XL would schedule a date and no show. Arrow XL rescheduled 6 times and NEVER communicated directly about rescheduling until after the fact. Updates in their tracking app were vague and misleading. Customer Service was difficult to reach and when we finally did, they were useless. After the 5th no-show, I asked for escalation of the case. Denied. The final tracking entry was an outright lie, claiming we had requested a new date. No one from Arrow XL spoke to any of us. We never requested a new date. We were on site every time waiting, taking leave from work. We began to question if this delivery would ever be completed. It was only after we contacted an investigative reporter did the grill "miraculously" get delivered two days later via "special delivery." Grill great. Arrow XL was a nightmare.

If you like your grilling and have time to perfect tour skill this is a toy for you.

I was cautious paying so much money out for a bbq/grill, worried in case it would turn into a gadget that was rarely used. Since purchasing we bbq about 4 times a week because its easy to light and you can leave things to cook without having to stand over it. Makes nice fish (in foil), whole roasts, steak, vegetables and the usual burgers and sausages. If it rains it doesn't matter because you can just lower the top of the grill. It's been a fun routine to bbq after work/ school run.

Excellent

Absolutely love this KJ! It's the first kamado I have owned and it's awesome. It's actually quite easy to control the temperature. I wasn't sure how it was going to be. I mainly use it as a smoker. Results are great. I did buy an ash basket and it's a great addition. I'm in my 60s and I was worried about the regular hinge. It's so easy that I don't even think about it anymore. Overall it's an awesome smoker which I hope will last a long time!

Holds the temperature very well. Easy to assemble. All around good quality.

This grill is a game changer! I have been a gas grill dude for a long time because of its convenience and affordability. The problem with a frequent griller is that these consumer metal grills die after a few years even with good cleaning practices and I really missed the smoke/charcoal flavor that you don’t get from a gas grill. Tired of buying replacement parts every year, for the next grill search, I wanted to look into a ceramic style grill because of all the great feedback heard for several years. These aren’t budget grills and are pricey but getting a grill every 5 years adds up and gets frustrating. This time I decided to stop the cycle and spend some money on a high quality unit; the Kamado Joe Classic was my choice. My first thought is wow, I can’t believe how great this grill cooks and it seems the more I cook on it, the more it cures. I’ve cooked brisket, burgers, chicken, sirloin tip roast, baked cornbread, and tons of vegetables. This thing just continues to amaze me and my family is super happy not no have to lie about the char from my past grills. I’m not saying that this grill automatically turned me into a award winning grill master, but the divide and conquer set up gives more options to perfect your cook as opposed to traditional grills where shoving the delicate stuff on the top rack and closing the lid is about your only option. The grill arrives in a crate and is extremely well packed. This is a heavy grill and is simple to set up, however, you need two to three people to lift this beast on to the base. Once on the base, the inside fire box parts and the rest of it goes in really easy. The construction is thick ceramic and has a beautiful red glaze. It’s essentially a giant pottery cooker. Owning charcoal grills back in the day, I assumed that clean up was going to be a fairly dirty affair, however I found that with using the recommended chunk charcoal, there is a lot less to clean up than with briquettes. The Kamado can use chunk charcoal and wood. While briquettes will work as well, I personally will not use them in this grill to avoid that fuel smell imbedding in the grill. There are several chunk coal brands on Amazon that will work great including the Kamado brand charcoal. Lighting this grill is easy as long as you have good charcoal and a good starter. I use the haystack looking starters and food chunk charcoal. The included divide and conquer system is an innovative way to maximize a cook, meaning that it allows for indirect and direct grilling simultaneously. There are other accessories available as well which extends the options of use. The top and bottom vent work together to provide consistent heat through your cook. Once you learn how to work the vents to control heat, you can walk away with confidence that nothing crazy is going to happen. This pottery marvel keeps the heat better than any grill I’ve used. I found the Kamado to keep a 300 degree temp with the vents closed after a cook for about 3 hours. I was blown away. Knowing this, a batch of cornbread followed my last cook. The thermometer works well, but was hard to see, so it was replaced with a more visible model. The ash drawer is a nice addition and helps with cleanup. The side shelves are solid metal and match the metal legs. I like that they fold down and are metal-wood always rots away. The wheels work well. Be sure to assemble the locks to the front the grill instead of the back in case you set up in a corner like I do. There are tons of videos available to help you on your way if needed. I am extremely happy with the quality and versatility of this grill and am confident that this grill will outlast me. I highly recommend this to anyone that is looking for a heavy duty ceramic style cooker!
