Weve all been there: in the middle of something you love doing, only to be frustrated by the quality of a tool. Maybe it doesnt break. But it doesnt work like it could. That was our realization about grilling. We loved it. We did it all the time. But weekend after weekend, wed find ourselves disappointed by our grills and tools. We knew there was a better waywhich is what inspired us to design and develop a better grill. Kamado Joe isnt just a line of products. Its what happens when two guys who love to grill get serious about creating the worlds best ceramic cooker. Better quality. Smarter features. More innovative accessories. Thats the story of Kamado Joe. |
