Does it come assembled?
Partially? You have to assemble the stand and put the insides of the BBQ together. It took us less then 30 minutes to get it from the box in my driveway to ready to grill in my backyard.

which store has inventory in toronto
why is this not for sale in Victoria?
J’ai la même question pour la garantie! Est ce à vie pour la céramique et 5 ans sur les grilles?
La garantie de 5 ans ne devrait pas s’appliquer plus tôt aux éléments de métal. Les éléments en céramique sont supposées être garantie à vie?

Joe Jr is amazing
Amazing what you can cook on such a small grill. Yes you can BBQ for a family of 4! 4 lb pork Butt, or beer can whole chicken, or 4 New York steaks. I also own a Big Joe 24” and 22” Weber kettle but use this Joe jr grill 80% of the time. The times I’m using the other grills are for ribs or 7-8Lb pork butts. This grill can do ribs if you buy a rib rack and fold them but I have other options when I need the space. My point is this is a surprising grill that can smoke, grill, and make amazing food. Ceramic grills really help keep moisture in the food keeping it juicy with tons of flavor. Great job Kamado Joe for making such a great and economical option!

It is the first generation Joe, so what?
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an excellent Kamado and for the money, you cannot beat it. The features it comes with outweigh the BGE hands down and it cooks excellent. I have owned 2 BGE's before and this one is a much better value with more features and the same warranty. It is more expensive than some cheaper metal kamados, but if you will take the time to learn how to use it, you will never need to buy another grill and you can pass it on to your kids. I bake, smoke, sear, roast, cook pizza, etc. The only thing this grill wont do is make ice cream and you may be able to get it to do that with some retrofitting :) There were comments about it being the first generation model. Lifetime warranty is lifetime warranty! Buy it, you wont regret it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an amazing tool. The build quality is second to none and the ease of use is so easy a caveman could do it! The cost benefit from the competition is what sold me on this grill. Along with everything that I needed to get started using it was packaged together and I didn’t have to get the grill then the stand add the the cooking surface add the heat deflector and on and on. It’s all there one price!! I have not stopped using it since I got it home!! Very glad I purchased it! I think you will be also!

We love our K. Joe, Jr.!
A perfect Christmas Gift from the family to a guy who grills in some fashion 5-6 days a week. This is my forth cooker "on staff" , and we so look forward to our week-ends with it. Perfect for empty-nesters like us, but we have fed 6 on one cooking cycle.
It was a lot of fun learning to use it, and I still pull out the manual just to help with temperature control. Nothing much is better than soaking in the spa on the back deck, while KJ Jr. surrounds the deck with tasty aromas. Clean up is a whiz, and the idea to reuse un-spent coals is a great tip!

Great when something isn’t broken
Love this thing when parts aren’t broken. I had to replace my fire box with in a month or two of purchase, the plastic shelves randomly break when not in use, my top ring that holds the entire top to the hinge was just broken one morning when we came out of the house. I have waited months for replacement rings only to get the wrong ones and I also noticed while removing my broken rings that the top ring and fire box are again broken looks like a jig saw puzzle inside. I am the only one to have these issues? Or are they all just junk???? Starting to wish I had purchased a big green egg instead

Next. Freaking. Level.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first Kamado grill, so it's my first Kamado Joe. I just did my first cook on it.
First, this grill comes delivered in a secure crate. While nobody recommends assembling it alone, no one was around to help me, so I gave it a shot, and it is possible. But make no mistake: at nearly 300 lbs., this thing is heavy because it's built to last.
The shiny red color is really impressive, and the Kamado Joe comes with everything you need to get started, including the stand, shelves, aand ash and grill grip tools.
After durability, versatility is the Kamado Joe's main selling point. You can search, grill, slow smoke, and bake in this thing.
In short, the Kamado Joe Classic could be the last grill you need.

First time Kamado Owner.
I was very excited to receive my Kamado. I have always owned a charcoal grill but never this style. I thought it was a good price point to start my Kamado Journey. The first cook was some thick center cut chops done on direct. Amazing cook and flavor from the lump charcoal. I then moved onto a Whole chicken on indirect and it was amazing again. I have done Lamb Steaks, Burgers and steaks. I have not ventured into smoking yet but can't wait to try. It takes a short learning curve to get the charcoal lit properly and adjust the temperature but I am very happy so far. My next experiment will be Pizza , just waiting for my stone.

My First Kamado
I came from the Traeger Pellet Grill family - thought it was three best since sliced bread... later added a Blackstone griddle... well then if course had to research more into these Kamado type grills...
After intensive research through internet, YouTube and more, started narrowing it to the KJ... although I liked the features of the newer models: air hinge, etc..., the lower cost of the Classic I allowed me to buy a ton of accessories....
Long story short, I've had a blast learning the ins and outs of Kamado cooking... very well insulated, easy to get the hang of whether low and slow, grilling a burger, spinning a chicken or making a pizza - my KJ is ang awesome and fun tool!
