Kamado Joe Classic 3, Unboxing and Assembly
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- This is the most detailed video on how to build a KAMADOJOE Classic 3 grill.
Most videos out there will not show you the following:
- how to safely and properly lift the ceramic grill
- how to build the cart because it used to come already assembled
- show you a layout of all the parts included in one shot to give you a better understanding of everything that comes with the grill
- how to properly store your slow roller components in your cart
I just wanted to say that your video is one of the most comprehensive videos I’ve seen on this grill. THANK YOU
This should be the official video of the grill assembly instruction. Thank you
Wow, thanks, thank you for watching the video and commenting. I really appreciate it. Cheers and keep on grilling or in this case smoking!
That's the most thorough assembly video I've seen for any grill. Great job.
Thank you Ron. I really appreciate it.
This is, without a doubt, the very best setting up video for a Kamodo Joe I have ever seen. Well filmed, precise and well thought out. I learned more from this than a shed load of others, congratulations Sir and a very Merry Christmas.
Thanks John, I really appreciate it! Let me know how your KJC3 turns out for you. Merry Christmas, Cheers and keep on grilling!
First video I've seen that actually shows how the pieces fit together and in what order. Thanks.
You are very welcome Nick. Thanks for commenting, I appreciate it. Cheers and keep on grilling!
Assembling my grill today. Your video is very helpful and makes me feel more confident about the process. Thank you!
Awesome! You are very welcome! Let me know how it turns out. Cheers and Keep on Grilling!
Nicely done! Thought I got screwed out of my stand until you told me I had to assemble it myself. Now I see it in various boxes. (Just got delivered today.) Thanks for the clear video.
Awesome! you are very welcome! Good luck with your Kamado. Ribs are my favorite things to smoke on it. Cheers my friend and keep on grilling!
dude this is the best set-up instructional video i've ever seen
Thank you so much for your nice comment. It is greatly appreciated. I hope this video helped you. Cheers Barb! And keep on grilling!
Hi from France ! Thanks for the trick to carry the Joe Classic 3, I'll use it this afternoon with my friends to set up my kamado ^^
Awesome! Yeah, when I first got my Kamado, I had no idea how heavy all the ceramics can make the grill. I can’t even imagine about the big Joe. Thanks for commenting, I appreciate it. Good luck with your new grill, cheers and keep on grilling!
Thanks for the great step by step instructions. This is easily the best assembly video on RUclips.
Thank you so much, really means a lot. Cheers and keep on grilling.
This is best assembly video I seen of grill period!!!!! appreciate it... definitely will purchase now..
SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST SMART KEEP IT SIMPLE TO THE POINT, BEST INSTRUCTION VIDEO EVER.👍🏾👍🏾
Thanks! I really appreciate it! Cheers and keep on smoking!
Just wanted to say thanks for the thorough instructions!
Congrats with this video. Instructions are crystal clear!
THANK YOU - THANK YOU EXCELLENT WELL DONE! You should be paid by Kamado Joe for a very well precise video on Joe III ASSEMBLY!
Hey Chris, thanks for the positive feedback. I really appreciate it. Hope all is well with you and your family. Cheers and keep on grilling, or in this case keep on smoking!!!!!!
New subscriber here! Great job on these videos!! I’m 40 years old and the only reason I’m attempting to bbq is because of RUclips and guys like you…I just started my bbq journey 8 months ago. All of my cooks are first time cooks to show RUclips that anyone can slow smoke meats if they watch RUclips how to videos for free. You’re awesome, brother! Keep it up!
Thank you man! You will never run out of things to do with the Kamado style grill. We have a lot in common, well , I am 44, I have a young daughter too, she came out in my pork chop video, we both own a kamado style grills, and post you tube videos. You too man, keep posting, all this is so positive and helps out so many out there and best of all is all the delicious food you get to make. One of the things that really motivates me is knowing that my daughter is super picky in eating but when I bbq she loves all of it. I guess I must be doing something right, 😂 Anyway, your channel is pretty cool, I subscribed too!
@@grillingwithpitarqui2457, thanks! I really appreciate it…smoke on, brother!
Just ordered one waiting for delivery great pre assemble vid I am ready now thanks
Awesome! let me know how did it work out for you. Cheers and keep on smoking!
Excellent video guys. Really helped me with my Kamado Joe grill installation. Thanks!
Exceptionally helpful, especially regarding the build of the cart and to not tighten down all the hex nuts until the build is completed this helps so all items align correctly.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback, I really appreciate it. I tried to cover as much information as possible for the build. Cheers and keep on grilling and smoking!
Best vidéo on kamado joe 3 ! You give me the answer to all my questions. Thanks you !
So happy to hear this. I am glad that the video helped you out. Let me know if you built your new KJ grill and what have you cooked on it so far. Best of luck, cheers, good luck, and keep on grilling!
Congratulations for this video very very clear ! The step-by-step method will make it easier for many future users to build their KJ. Also show how to wear it, avoid back pain... Merci beaucoup !!!
Loll, Thank you so much for the positive feedback. I am glad the video helped. If you have any questions please let me know. I've been using the Kamado as my main grill for a while now and I am not disappointed. Cheers my friend and keep on grilling!
@@grillingwithpitarqui2457 Thank you very much for this answer! I have a Weber 5770, which I just sold, and a Pulse 2000, which is also for sale... Not to mention the pizza and rotisserie kit. In France, there are very few resellers and the price is 2360 € with the cover ! In a few weeks there will be one at home... I will look at your recipes and try to reproduce them here with local rubs ! To be continued !!! A bientôt.
I will soon be obtaining my Kamado Big Joe I and can't wait!!!
Thanks for commenting, awesome I hope you enjoy the Big Joe! Cheers my friend and keep on smoking!
Excellent, excellent video from start to finish. One of the most thorough set up videos I’ve seen for the Komodo joe classic lll. Thank you so much. The company should hire you or put your video on their site.
Hi Tanya, Thank you very much for your kind words. I really appreciate it. I did my research and truly tried to make something as informative and clear as possible about the topic. I've cooked so many things on the KJC3 and am looking forward to showing it in the near future. : )
Outstanding assembly video... The best I have seen!!!
Hey Osso, thanks for the kind words. I really appreciate it. Cheers and keep on grilling!
Thanks for the instruction video, just used it to do mine....Here we go !!
Awesome! You are very welcome. The KJC3 is an awesome smoker/Grill. Congrats on the new grill. Cheers and keep on grilling!
Looking on RUclips how to set up my grill, this is the man I got it done with! Love his attitude and his approach to "How to"! Joe
Thank you so much for commenting, sorry for the super late response, I hope everything went well. Cheers and keep on grilling or smoking!
This is the Goat of assembly videos. Well Done
Thank you for making this video. Outstanding job. Enjoy your grill
Sorry for the late response, thank you so much for commenting! I really appreciate it, Cheers my friend, hope you are somewhere smoking or grilling while you read this message.
Great video explaining everything with easy to follow steps. Nice one!
Very clear video. One of the best kamado joe 3 setup videos I have seen
Thank you so much, I usually respond immediately, this message fell between the cracks and i missed it. Hope you have your KJ by now and built. Cheers, good luck and keep on grilling!
Thanks for this video. It really helped me set mine up.
Awesome Lucia! I am glad the video helped you. Today I will be doing some baby back ribs on the Kamado. Cheers and keep on grilling, or in this case, bbqing or smoking!
Very nicely done. I learned a few things I had not seen in other videos. Thanks for making the video.
Thank YOU John for watching! I was trying to provide as much info as possible on building the KJC3. Hope all went well with your build. Let me know if you built it or if you are still waiting for it. I will never forget that day, lol. Cheers and keep on grilling!
Great job on this video.
Hey Johnny, thanks man, I really appreciate it! I am actually a big fan of your channel and have watched many of your videos. Cheers brother and keep on grilling!
@@grillingwithpitarqui2457 Thanks... and leave a comment bro!
Nice unbox video! Just got one of these grills and was wondering how you lift this thing into the stand! Thanks for the great vid!
Hey Steve, When I hear that this video helped someone in any way, it really makes my day. Thank you for commenting. Good luck with your new grill.
Great demonstration!
Thank you Robert. I really appreciate it! Hope all is well with you and family, cheers and keep on grilling!
Very helpful - given that the owner's manual is incredibly minimal and basically says nothing about how to properly install the slo-roller with the grate NOR the accessory plate with the heat deflectors, this was an incredibly useful video. Thank you. Very well done. Now, you just need to do videos on how to use it properly, start and control the fire, control temperatures, add coals, shut down the grill, how to smoke properly, and let us in on all your grilling secrets!
Hey Alberto, thank you so much for commenting, Sorry I took for ever to respond. I wil be posting grilling videos and some in Kamadojoe cooking in the near future. Just incase you do not own this, I highly recomend purchasing the soap stone for steaks, in my opinion it is by far the best KJ accessory for steaks. I tried all the cast iron grills, skillets and other accesories and none come close to the soap stone. I will have a video about making the perfect steak and soapstone in the near future, right now I am still experimenting. Thanks for you feedback, it is greatly appreciated. please excuse my typos, thanks again Alberto.
Thank you. Very well done video.
Great tutorial Best one I’ve seen. Kamado Joe should buy it from use and use
Thank you so much for commenting sorry for the super late response, better late than never. Cheers and keep on grilling and smoking!
This is fantastic. KJ should buy this from you and put it on their website
Thank you David. I really appreciate it. I did a little research and homework before making the video. I wanted to try to include important details that not all video had. I hope you are doing well and expecting or building a KJ.
Cheers, good luck and keep on grilling!
@@grillingwithpitarqui2457 I put my KJBJIII together after watching your video. Your video made it so much easier. Looking forward to more videos from you.
Awesome David, I am glad the video helped you build yours. Let me know what is your first cook going to be. Cheers and keep on grilling!
great job. Can't wait to get mine in. I will be coming back to this video for step by step when it arrives. Thank you!
You are very welcome! You will never run out of things to do with the KJC3. The Kamado style grills are truly the most versitle grills out there. Its difficult to find what you can't cook on them. Truly an amazing peice of equipment to cook on. Good luck! Let me know when you have yours built.
Excellent Unboxing & Assembly video..!
Love the way you have laid out all the parts etc - as it make things so much easier.
I have just received my Kamado Joe Classic III today and will be using this video as my guide to assemble it.
Thanks so very much..! :)
Thank you so much David, I really appreciate all your comments! Sorry brother, I usually respond immediately. Not sure what happened I did not see your comment until today. Thanks again, still using the Kamado grill for many of my cooks, so much fun to use it. I hope you and the family are doing well. Cheers and keep on grilling!
Brilliant video. Thank you.
You are very welcome! Thak you so much for the positive feedback. I really hope it helped you build the KJC3. Cheers and keep grilling!
Thanks man, you guided me all the way through and saved me $100!!!
You are very welcome! I appreciate the positive feedback, glad the video helped! Cheers and good luck with the new grill!
Great video, thank you
Awesome demonstration! The best, most thorough I’ve seen! Thanks for sharing!!!
You are very welcome Pamela. Thank you for your kind words.
Thank you for this video, it was very clear and made the assembly so easy.
You are very welcome J.F. Houpert. I am really glad this video video helped you, your words mean a lot to me. Thank you for watching. Enjoy your new grill. You will never run out of things to do. Cheers, keep on grilling and bbqing!
Awesome video
Thank for comment, I really appreciate it! Cheers and keep on grilling!
First time ever commenting on a video great job straight and to the point
Kevin......................! , you are the man! Thank you, that really means a lot to me. I did my homework on this one. The KJC3 is truly an awesome grill. I will be posting things in the near future about what I prepared or grilled on this fantastic grill. Thank you for commenting!
Great video! Thank you.
Thank you Todd for your kind words. I really appreciate it. I tried to give as much information as possible. Cheers and keep on grilling!
My dawg everyday we woke up. My man lou. Hell yeah
@3:54 When fixing the legs to the bottom plate you have 2 sets of lock/shakeproof washers (one fits, one is too large) on the bolts - but no washers on the wheels @4:38. I'm pretty sure the larger washers should be on the wheels
Hey thanks for commenting, you are absolutely right, not many notice this. When I got my Kamado Grill there were some parts missing. Thanks for bringing this up. I hope your build went smooth and I hope my video helped you in other ways. Cheers and keep on smoking!
Nice video bro well done
Thank you, I really appreciate it! Cheers and keep on grilling!
Most helpful!
Thanks for the positive feedback, I really appreciate it, cheers and keep on smoking!
Thank you so much for the video and great advices. I’m know ready to receive my classic 3.
You are very welcome Denis! It was all fairly easy to build. Let me know how everything turns out for you.
@@grillingwithpitarqui2457
I received my classic 3 this morning. Your video was very useful for the assembly.
Have great cookings. Thankfully
Many thanks, great video! The only thing that confused me, was that you put the M12 washers for the wheels on the M8 bolts as well as the M8 washers for the bottom shelf of the cart.
Is there any particular reason for this?
Wow Dan, you really pay attention to details. You are 100 percent correct about this. I never even realized this and even went back to the book to see what's going on. This is my mistake. What happened is that my Kamado came with less washers than indicated in the book. The book shows a total of 8 washers for the bottom shelf and I only had 4 so I used the other bigger washers not realizing that I needed those for the wheels.
You want to get your mind blown? Now that I look back at the video, some of these washers come stuck together so even though they look like 1 washer they are really two. Look carefully at the video and you will see a line in between them. Man this really bummed me out. I appologize. Now we will have a bunch of people building it wrong, lol. I guess its not such a big deal. Thanks for letting me know and thanks for commenting. I really appreciate it.
@@grillingwithpitarqui2457 The washers had me stumped for a while also - only having half the washers the manual said: 16x M6 top shelf, 8x M8 bottom shelf and 8x M12 wheels - luckily when I picked ‘one’ up it came apart, so assumed they were just in pairs (most wouldn’t budge and were firmly stuck together). I can see this catching out more people in the future if KJ have decided to bond these washers together and don’t add a revision to the manual or at least a side note to say this.
Thanks again for the video, it definitely helped me build my Classic 3 that arrived yesterday! Now I just need to decide what my first cook will be!
@@dandubi @GRILLING WITH PITARQUI Thank you for being so detailed, especially with the small parts. I thought I was missing washers, but only realized 2 are stuck together after reading this post. I actually reached out to KJ and they said they would ship me replacements, but should have told me to look closer at the washers! Do you think we should split the washers or just leave them stuck together when putting them on? Definitely need better instructions.
This was SUPER helpful!!
Thank you
You are very welcome! Thanks for commenting.
Much appreciated for this video! The manual shows I should have 2 washers for every bolt but it looks like yours with only 1. Is this right?
Dude those grills are fire. Getting one this year. My lady's dad has 2 smokers. But I want one.
Yeah these ceramic grills are AMAZING!, they can do almost anything you want them to do. Lots of fun, I look forward to BBQing and experimenting everyday.
Thanks Donx, I really appreciate it.
Great vid brother. Subbed
Thank you
Nice work. For a second I thought you were gonna lift this on your own....
Hello George, Thanks for responding. For a big guy like yourself I am sure you would not have any problems lifting the ceramic grill. It is just not recommended by Kamado. lol I saw your videos on the flaming sword, 2021 fire and NY view, very nice man! If you live in NY we are neighbors, I am from Hackensack NJ but I work daily in NYC. Are you able to grill much where youi live?
@@grillingwithpitarqui2457 Hey neighbor! I live in NJ as well, I'm down in Marlboro so I basically grill everyday. I currently have a Weber propane (which i hardly use) and an Otto Wilde (which is my daily). I ordered the KJ classic 3 last week, but have no idea if or when it will ship. I can tell you two things for sure when it arrives, I will re-watch your excellent video and also not lift this beast by myself! Keep posting, I've subscribed!
Wow amazing , very nice video ! I'm curious does the big joe III come with the black color cover?
Hi thanks for commenting, yes the Big Joe also comes with a black control tower top. I hope this is what you mean. If it’s the covers to cover the entire grill, none come with it unless you are ordering on a speacial package deal or something like that, you would have to purchase it separately and I’ve only seen them in black. Cheer Nana, and keep on grilling!
@@grillingwithpitarqui2457 thank you for your quick and a very detailed reply sir ! You're very kind 🙏☺️thank you so much ! 😊😊😊have a good day ! 😎🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Excellent video...thanks so much!!
Thank you, for watching!
Very informative! Great job!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.
Hopefully one day I will own one of those. Good video man!
Thank you so much for commenting Chris! This grill is definitely one of a kind, if you wil be grilling for 3 or more on a regular basis I highly recommend going for the BIG JOE. The ceramic grills are awesome, but the grilling space is very limited, especially if you are doing the two zone grilling method. Cheers!
Excellent!….
Roi DuNord, thank you so much for commenting, I really appreciate it. I hope the video helped you to either to make a decision or to build the KJC3 grill.
Very informative! Thank you!
You are very welcome Pamela! Thank you for watching and commenting.
Awesome video, thanks!
You are very welcome. Thank you for commenting, I appreciate it!
Tks😊
What's the weight of the grill when you remove everything and prepare it for lifting?
Great demo, thanks.
No, thank you, for commenting, I really appreciate it. Hope you are doing well. Let me know if you purchased a KJ grill or thinking about purchasing one.
You are very welcome. Thanks for commenting. I really appreciate it.
No I haven't purchased one, and yes I gotta get me one of those grills. Again thanks for the vid,
Thanks for a very informative video. Just unboxing my new grill and getting ready to assemble the cart. In the owner's manual it shows that there should be #16 of the M6 locking nuts, but I only received #8. The manual demonstrates two of the locking nuts on each bolt. I notice that in your build you only have #8. Any issues with only using one for each bolt??
Hello Jean, you are the second person that writes to me about this. You are absolutely correct about this. You really pay attention to detail. That's great.
When I received my Kamado Grill I had some missing parts and I put it together in the best way possible. That is the only part I wish I could edit on my video, other than that everything is very straight forward and100 percent correct. If you have all the parts please follow the manual. That part is not anything to worry about, ive been constantly moving my grill around with no problem. As long as you are securing it with the bolts you are good. The grill is very sturdy. Thank you so much for commenting. I hope that your build (other than this part) was not confusing. Good luck, Cheers and keep on grilling!
Thanks so much for getting back to me quickly! I'm also missing the eight M12 lock washers for the wheels. I've let the company know, but will probably just head to the hardware store to find them as I really want to get it together! Really appreciate your thorough approach!
Hi Jean, one last thing. I’ve heard some tell me that sometimes the washers come stuck together where you think it’s one washer but you have to separate them, and it’s two. Please keep an eye out for this. Cheers and keep on grilling!
Hell yeah dawg. Killer video brother. Your the man👊
I like your energy
Thanks for commenting Colton, I really appreciate it. Hope all is good with you and your family! Take care, let me know if you are buying a KJ grill or if you are thinking of buying one.
Great video!
Thank you so much Jonathan! I appreciate your kind words and look forward to making more grilling videos.
Hands down the best assembly video I’ve seen for much of anything really. Great job! Do u think the classic iii is big enough for a family of five? 3 teenage boys 😂
Hello Brady, the way three teenage boys eat, it’s like having a house of 5 adults. 😀
I got the classic three because where I live the space is kind of limited. It works perfectly for us but we are just two adults and a five year old.
If you have the room, and the money, I would just go for the Big joe. The classic 3 looks big on the outside but only gives you 18 inches of diameter to cook. That’s not big at all. Something else to take into consideration is that if you ever plan on two zone cooking with your joe, you will be cutting your cooking real estate in half. I know that once we start having people over again I am going to regret not having the big joe.
There was a guy in a video that made me laugh, he said, listen: if you get the classic 3 you are going to wish you got the big joe. If you get the big joe you are going to wish you got the classic 3 because it’s too big.
I appreciate your comment, let me know what you decide to do.
@@grillingwithpitarqui2457 u mentioned in another comment you would consider the primo if u had it to do over again. Why?
Hello Brady, when I was considering buying a new ceramic grill it was between the KamadoJoe and Primo. Both very good top of the line ceramic grills. I really liked the Primo brand because they have the patented oval shaped grill which gives you a wide surface for grilling. It seemed more confortable to cook on. I liked that it came in black (but that has nothing to do with the quality of the product, just color preference). I also liked the fact that it is an American made product, love the story about how the owner built his business. I ended up going with the Kamado mainly for two reasons, besides all the good reviews and comparisons with other ceramic grills.
1- The heavy duty well-built hinge that in my opinion is better than anything out there. Some may say "this is not so important", but if you tried lifting the lids on other ceramic grills vs. the KamadoJoe you will definitely see that there is no comparison
2- The sloRoller Hyperbolic Smoke Chamber for slow cooking and smoking that only Kamado offers
GRILLING WITH PITARQUI I followed what you did with putting together the base but noticed LATER that the manual has washers for the wheels but I do not see you adding any washers for the wheels. Is this OK? I didn't have extra washers to add anyways. I don't want to disassemble the whole thing as mine is crazy heavy (BJ 3).
Hello Sorry for the late response. When I got my Kamado it was missing some pieces and that is why I did not have it on the video. I was not sure if that's how they would send and different from the book or if I was missing parts. I have it without the washers and still use the Kamado grill very often and with no problems so you should be ok.
@@grillingwithpitarqui2457 OK thanks for the response!
I know that the new assemble cart design of Kamado joe has been in use for three years, 2019-2021.
Hey Mark Ma, Thanks for commenting, it is greatly appreciated. Wow, I was not aware that it was since 2019. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you sir!
You are very welcome! Thanks for commenting.
amazing
Thanks for commenting Danny Boy! I appreciate it.
GOOD VID BUT THE LARGE WASHERS GO ON THE CASTERS
How is the three tier different from the two tier? This video doesn’t seem to show any difference at all
Hey Shaun, great question, the three tier just gives you a little more flexibility than the two tier since you have that third floor level. You have more options for combinations. If you put the two tier and three tier racks next to each other the three tier will be taller. The classic 3 is deeper than the classic 2 so when all the parts are put together they may seem the same because they grates end up flat on top but the 3 tier goes in deeper on the classic 3. They also made that three tier for the slow roller on the KJC3 because the slow roller pops inside the three tier taking up space where you can only really use the two top tiers at that point. I hope this answered your question. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for commenting.
This grill is Not for beginners, and too convoluted for most normal people.
Hi INFO MUTT, I 100% agree with you. I would not recomend this grill to any beninner. Actually, I need to change the thumbnail picture for the top 10 grilling tips video, because that video was definitely made for beginners and displays a Kamado grll. Thank you so much for commenting. I hope all is well, Cheers and keep on grilling!
The ceramic heat deflectors don't go on the accessory rack. Great video otherwise.
Thank you so much for commenting, I really appreciate it! Cheers and keep on smoking and grilling!
Would you guys come to my wedding?
Dude you are crazy, would love to but just trying to hang low because of the current situation.
