The Best Christmas Gift Ever.

Fantastic product. Easy to assemble and cooking/smoking is awesome. Got this for my fiancé as a Christmas present, he stated this is the best Christmas gift he has ever gotten since that one Christmas when he was 10 and got a Nintendo... lol! He now smokes everything. No complaints here!

Delivered broken, won't pick it back up.

This was delivered broken. Clearly fell off the truck and the pallet was shattered, everything inside was in pieces. I have called Walmart 5 times now to get it picked up so that I can get a new one, and every time they say someone will follow up with me in 48 hours to schedule the pickup. The customer service team at Walmart is a joke, I've wasted 4 hours now on hold with them while they do not nothing.

Broken
Order arrived completely destroyed. Contacted Walmart and they would only give a refund, would not replace it with another. Contacted Kamado Joe and their customer service was even worse, would replace a few of the parts but did not replace the entire order. Ended up returning it to Walmart for a refund.

Beast mode
The Joe Jr. Is a beast. I love having the ability to have smaller cooks without firing up my Big Joe. It's a perfect complement.

Dome cracked, returned.
Nice grill! Too bad the dome was cracked. Returned and ordered another one. No way to contact customer service. Would have been nice to be able to exchange.

Go with the green egg not this cheap grill
Horrible grill. Very cheaply made. Packed horribly. I provided pictures of the 3 grills so far delivered. Support for this grill is non existent w the grill company. Save your money and time. Im on my 4th attempt to get a non cracked grill.

Don't buy! Horrible Delivery and Customer Service!
Ordered Grill on 11/30/2021. Received completely BROKEN grill on 12/03/2021. File for replacement on 12/03/2021. Walmart picked up BROKEN grill on 12/5/2021. Still haven't received replacement on 01/10/2022. Called customer service 5 times. Unable to tell me when I will receive the replacement grill. Poor delivery service! Poor customer service! DON'T BUY! 0 Star!

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!

Beyond amazing.
Bought one of the JRs to put on a balcony since we have all of the bigger grills on the deck. Well, it's the best grill you will ever have. Hands down. In fact, I immediately bought another one for the balcony to use for pizza and tailgate parties. . My next house I will absolutely get the biggest one they make. . The pizza iis freakin amazing. Had many many grills over the years and nothing compare to this one.

Perfect for our needs
I've had it a few weeks now, done several cooks, and love it so far. It's a perfect size for the the two of us. It holds temperature very well and everything I've cooked on it has tasted great. It's light enough for one or two people to move easily, but added a Grilla Cart, (it fit perfectly) which gets it up a bit higher. Highly recommended.

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.

Awesome
Bang for buck ! 1500$ cheaper then the big joe 3. I can deal with a different gasket and hinge assembly for that price difference

A Great Cooker in A Small Package
First cook was for Xmas Eve, smoked turkey breast, turned out great! Even used the box it came in as a temporary table. Looking forward to more cooks! Great size for the two of us.

Love my new Classic
I love my new classic. It does replace a classic that I bought about 13 years ago. This one is a much better quality and comes with more valuable accessories. I have been very pleased and love trying the new accessories. Thank you for such a great quality product!
