You guys really do have the best videos out there! I have been watching ATBBQ for a year or so now and have learned so much about a lot of different types of cooks. Your editing is second to none. Thank you so much for everything you guys do! I am constantly referring you guys to my friends and family for recipe/product reviews. Thanks again! And may God Bless you all.
hey Tom, love your channel keep up the good work.... how can i smoke meat in a bbq pit made from an iron gas tank measuring 4 ft wide and 2ft deep with grill right in the middle, with a side door. If you could do a video about that, it would be very help full
The end product will be just as good if not a bit better. This is due to a couple factors. The temp consistency will be greater in the Kamado Joe and the moisture retention will be higher. The other thing to think about is that the KJ will use less fuel as it is insanely efficient. Thanks for watching!
Primo Oval is a good grill, but just like BGE it doesn't come stocked with accessories the way the KJ does. You have to pay extra for those. KJ comes with a stand, side tables, and the Divide and Conquer system. IMO, that makes it much more value than any other kamado style grill.
How does the 2 zone cooking with the divide and conquer system compare to 2 zone cooking with a primo oval or even a gas or charcoal grill? I've heard that 2 zone cooking is hard to achieve on round kamados, but I've never cooked on one so I don't know. But I'm really interested in getting one!
Real question. I cook on a gas webber grill a few times a week. Is it plausible to replace gas grilling 100% with this? Or is the prep time to get the grill hot not doable on a busy schedule?
Anthony Ulfig not doable..it takes too long to get started. Especially with lump charcoal. At least 20. To get it to 250. But if you’re talking about grilling, top vent and bottom vent wide open. 30-40 minutes. Unless u wanna go out there with your wife’s blow dryer and get the fire started faster.
Horizontal charcoal? Like an offset smoker? If so, yes, our Texas style recipe was done on a Yoder Loaded Wichita: th-cam.com/video/K5rtd7GITlg/w-d-xo.html
Not all of them, but the new firebox design should be available to you. The hinge won't be that we're aware of, and so far the other pieces have not been released individually. If they are you can be sure we'll cover them here on this channel. Thanks!
Nutintoitbut2doit the Joe is 10x better than the egg... I agree that it doesn't make sense to get a joe if you already have an egg but if you dont the Joe is absolutely the better buy.
I have the Kamado classic and love it - use it 90% of the time. But I would never ever suggest getting one before a Weber. Everybody should have a kettle.
Chris Brines we have spent a lot of time cooking in both. The Weber is significantly less versatile for meals that require various cooking methods all at once. But the Summit Charcoal is a nice grill for sure.
Why you make soup and call it stir fry. Stir fry at 700 degrees, one ingredient at a time, do the meat last and toss in the veggies for a quick roll in the juices from the meat. Hit with a LITTLE soy sause and some saseme oil right before you take it off. Serve with rice.
Yes... but not by Kamado Joe. If you visit atbbq.com you'll see that we sell BBQ products. We only sell things we believe in and cook on ourselves. So the only bias is whether or not we like the product, not bias based on being bought by a company. Thanks for watching.
I'm in a Kamado Joe FB group with 8000 members and we all said the same thing before taking a chance on the KJ........now our Weber's and other grills sit unused and rusting.......and I'm not exaggerating. The Weber still has its place but most of our members strictly use it for extra real-estate when hosting a large gathering or for a quick cook, as the ceramic grills take longer to heat up since they retain so much of the heat energy during preheat. There's simply nothing like it. If you're skeptical, do like I did. I bought a $300 metal Akorn Kamado first and was so impressed that I upgraded to the KJ. No regrets, it'll last me the rest of my life.

WOW! I know this is an older video but the production is awesome.
Thanks for watching!
Great video. May I ask how many racks of spareribs can you fit in the Classic Joe without using accessories? Thanks!
Hey awesome videos! I've learned so many different things from your amazing cooking!
Great intro video, great examples, and awesome walk though. Liked, subscribed, and purchasing the Kamado from you guys!
Thanks for watching!
Hey Chef Tom! Great video as always. Would the Classic Joe size be enough to fit a whole brisket? Or would the Big Joe be more suitable?
A Classic Joe has an 18" diameter and could fit a brisket.
Would you go with this or a recteq pellet?
Would you cook a turkey on this unit? I’m thinking of space when I ask this question.
You MUST deliver this in Brazil! I need it! 😳
We don't at this time, but it doesn't mean we won't work toward that goal in the future. Thanks for watching!
This is a great video review. Is the KJCII equivalent in size as the BGE Large?
Thank you for sharing.
Bought one today

How does this compare to the experience and final product of smoked food on the weber smokey mountain?
Awesome job btw, my favorite TH-cam channel

How would this grill compare to a primo oval?I'm trying to decide between the two keep up the great work
Primo Oval is a good grill, but just like BGE it doesn't come stocked with accessories the way the KJ does. You have to pay extra for those. KJ comes with a stand, side tables, and the Divide and Conquer system. IMO, that makes it much more value than any other kamado style grill.

Wow! Alot of great improvements over the original!

Mine comes tomorrow between 11 and 4 lol
Where is the best place to buy this in Canada?
I wish Chef Tom lived closer to me. Like next door. And had spare Kamado Joe classic 2, that I could borrow. Permanently.
One of the perks of being friends with the guy... we get together for family dinners regularly. :)
I know what I'm getting myself for my birthday.
Good choice!
Does the Big Joe have all the same features and grates/wok?
Yes it does... the new model has all of the same updates and accessories available to it.
have you done brisket in a horizontal charcoal grill?
Horizontal charcoal? Like an offset smoker? If so, yes, our Texas style recipe was done on a Yoder Loaded Wichita: th-cam.com/video/K5rtd7GITlg/w-d-xo.html
Are these upgrades available for us with the Original Joe?
Not all of them, but the new firebox design should be available to you. The hinge won't be that we're aware of, and so far the other pieces have not been released individually. If they are you can be sure we'll cover them here on this channel. Thanks!
Can you review the Green Mountain Grill?
I Love my Big Green Egg, and all of it's EGGcessories, I just can't see spending about the same for the joe. But great sales pitch Tom :-)
Nutintoitbut2doit the Joe is 10x better than the egg... I agree that it doesn't make sense to get a joe if you already have an egg but if you dont the Joe is absolutely the better buy.
Probably upgrade to this when my akorn dies, hoping to get a few years out of it though .
You'll be happy when that day comes, it's a truly amazing cooker. Thanks for watching!
holy crap...compared to the classic 57cm weber kettle im using.. this thing is godlike
At 10 times the price.
I have the Kamado classic and love it - use it 90% of the time. But I would never ever suggest getting one before a Weber. Everybody should have a kettle.
I just bought a Kamado Classic but I have a 57cm Weber. I can't really see how I'll still use my Weber... what would you say it's better at?
love it. I would buy it today if I had a backyard. but at the moment I do not :(((((
Could you do a video for fried stake strips.?!
We'll add it to our list.
The KJ’s are nice, but I’ll take the Weber Summit charcoal over one every time.
Chris Brines we have spent a lot of time cooking in both. The Weber is significantly less versatile for meals that require various cooking methods all at once. But the Summit Charcoal is a nice grill for sure.

Were you paid to make this?
Yes... but not by Kamado Joe. If you visit atbbq.com you'll see that we sell BBQ products. We only sell things we believe in and cook on ourselves. So the only bias is whether or not we like the product, not bias based on being bought by a company. Thanks for watching.
Well done...
too bad we do not have that in Brazil.
Ramon Cunha we've got the big green egg here in Soutb Africa but i highly doubt we'll get anything kamado joe
We going to cook without any addons to see how well this cooks....5 seconds later, here we have the addon castiron plate
WTF!!
chef Tom, I just bought the mini brine bucket,are you a fan of brining pork butts?
We have brined pork butts and it certainly has its place. We always say to try it out and see how it works for you!
allthingsbbq like I said,just bought the brine bucket and wanted to brine as many things as I can! thank you
Very ice piece of equipment, however I can cook anything on Weber that will taste as good. Very good video!

Ain’t better than a Green Egg let’s be honest
Who’s paying him if he legally has to disclose that
man i really like your videos, but sometimes they're a bit too serious (maybe it's just me)
Chef Tom is well spoken, I need one for my channel lol. Belated birthday present? Lol. If this gets 100 likes they'll give me one!
We gave you a like... only "99 more" to go. ;)
Didn't like that you said "Divide and concur". These words relates to colonization and past cruelties done to innocent people.
