The Kamado Joe Big Joe Series I 24-inch Ceramic Charcoal Grill and Smoker cooks a lot of ways, helped by the 2-tier Divide & Conquer system and a patented ash drawer that makes cleanup quick. Reviewers pointed to the Cast Iron Top Vent for precise temperature control and the built-in thermometer for accuracy. Some found the 450 square-inch cooking surface too small for large gatherings, and at 358.9 pounds it's cumbersome to move even with the locking wheels. Serious home cooks who value functionality over portability are the buyers.

- — Patented Slide-Out Ash Drawer simplifies cleanup
- — Limited cooking space of 450 square inches may not suit large gatherings
- — Heavy weight at 358.9 lbs makes mobility difficult despite locking wheels
