Red ceramic Kamado Joe Classic II on a black rolling stand under a wooden pergola, side shelves out, lid closed
8.9out of 10 Kamado Joe Classic II

We earn a commission on purchases made through these links, at no cost to you. It never changes a score. The same figures appear in the ratings table.

Comparisons are between two of our own reviews, each built from the maker's published specifications and documentation. We have not run these grills side by side in one place. Every score shown here is the same Avid Griller Score out of 10 that appears on the review itself; change a review's score and its comparisons change with it. How we score →
