New Kamado Joe Big Joe

[kamadoRob]

Ok, so I've been looking at them for years. I finally decided to pull the trigger on a new Kamado Joe Big Joe. Getting this big guy around to the back yard was a chore but it's here and all ready to rock. I am impressed with the quality. Mrs. KamadoRob wasn't all that impressed when she found out what it cost though.

This thing rocks! I'm doing a "burn-in" now, though they say it isn't necessary it gives me a chance to dial in temps and see how it performs. I will be doing a lot of cooking this weekend for sure!












KJ gets along with the other grills really well.

I regret not buying the bigger one at costco

I heard that more than once so I went with the Big Joe. I don't have the funds to do this over again anytime soon so go big or go home!

I'll second that. I thought the K22 would be the same diameter as a Weber 22

I have had mine for about a year now, you are going to love that cooker.

[kamadoRob]

Thanks guys. A little burn-in and first cook tonight. All went very well. I'm already loving the divide and conquer system with the adjustable height grates. I pretty much always do burgers for a first cook on a new grill. Later this weekend, pork butt then rib eyes.

Burgers with grilled portabella caps and grilled onions on a toasted onion bun with asparagus.

[fuzzydaddy]

Wow, that's a nice plate! Thanks for the great pics.

I love my KJ Classic, the versatility of the divide and conquer is crazy. Congrats on a great cooker, and thanks for the pics.
