Polar Bear 347 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Size and cost aside, theyre more or less the same Pretty sure every accessories made for the Classic also has a version for the BJ The BJ ones are usually more expensive though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
&roid 181 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 If the big joe is in budget, go for that. I guarantee - You’ll never think “I wish I’d got a smaller one”. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart 0 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Just got a BJ3 and have no regrets or second thoughts on it versus the Classic 3. With the new basket, it’s easy to build smaller/limited fires for smaller meals. We like to have people over, so I really like the extra space. I am sure with all of the cooking level options out there, either could accommodate a crowd, but for me, I just like the BJ. Another benefit is that when I am standing next to BIg Joe has a slimming affect. As others mentioned, all accessories are available, for a few dollars more. I went with the standard cover, but Coverstore.com has options for the Classic 2 and BJ2, with their top of the line, slightly cheaper than KJ covers. Good luck and Happy Grilling!

gorilla83 24 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I purchased the classic II in December of last year and love it. It's fine for 80% of the cooking and smoking we do, but since we're starting to entertain more often at our home, I started looking at the Big Joe. The last AGC Father's day sale put me over the edge and went for the BJ. I don't think I'll have any regrets doing so. For now I'll keep both. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
