Kamado Joe KJ15041021 Big Joe III 24-inch Charcoal Grill with Cart and Side Shelves, Blaze Red

Product Information

With innovative features, huge grilling space, the possibility of simultaneous direct and indirect cooking methods, and new smoking technology with the SloRoller under his ceramic belt, it is a superior grill for sure. However, because the thermometer sits up in the lid, it’s always a fair few degrees out when compared to what’s happening at grate level. So I recommend purchasing and using a good digital smoker thermometer instead. Some would say Kamado Joe (KJ) was already the King of ceramic BBQs, and that was before 2019 saw the release of the new Classic Joe III and the Big Joe III. Already owning a Classic, I decided to buy the Big Joe III, and wow, am I glad I did! I loved the look of Kamado Joe’s new lineup and was excited by the new features and advances in grill technology they had made. So I just had to buy one. Kamado Joe® warrants that key metal and cast iron parts used in this Kamado Joe® grill and smoker are free of defects in material and workmanship for a period of five (5) years.

What would our Kamado Joe Big joe III review be without a detailed deep dive into it’s many innovative features during use? It has a scale for Fahrenheit and Celsius, markings for smoking, bbq-roasting, and smokehouse searing, and measures from 150 °F to 900 °F The new 3-Tier Divide and Conquer Flexible Cooking System, which allows different food products to be cooked in different styles and heat zones, is a joy to have during use. The control tower top vent is a double-edged sword. It solved some problems seen on many other kamado-style cooker vents, but has introduced a couple of issues of its own.A saying has never been truer than you get what you pay for here. KJ grills are outstanding evidence of this when it comes to performance, quality, ease of use, smooth customer service, and, ultimately, tasty food. Design quality is second to none. Zero corners were cut, and seemingly every single square inch of this cooker is well thought out design wise. The removable ashtray that has been a part of the Kamado Joe design since day 1 and version 1, is present in the version III grills. And they’ve done exactly that. Kamado Joe has led the industry in innovative features and quality from pretty much day 1 of their existence. Today, many of the features they first came out with are being copied by other brands who are trying to play catch up.

Like many all-singing and all-dancing grills, it takes a bit of practice to understand and master, especially if you’ve never had a kamado grill before. I hope this extensive look at the Kamado Joe Big Joe II and III has helped you determine whether or not this grill is a good fit for you! Although expensive, the Big Joe delivers on a premium grilling and smoking experience, and can literally provide a lifetime of value to you, your family and friends. There are a couple of implications if this two tiered, removable grate system. First, it allows for you to set up multiple heat zones in your grill – so you can cook some food with direct heat and some with indirect heat simultaneously on the different layers. After the first use and a gentle clean, some paint came off the top plate. Paint has further come off on the other sections since. It’s made from aluminum, so it will not rust. Therefore I’m not overly bothered, but I feel KJ should have used a better, longer-lasting paint.The SloRoller is developed by Havarduniversity it harnessesthe power of cyclonic airflow technology to control heat and smoke. The SloRoller insert is designed to perfect the taste and texture of food on low-and-slow cooks up to 500°F, and is easily swapped out for heat deflector plates when searing or grilling at higher temperatures. The design is close to the traditional Kamado Joe grill design, and anyone who sees its glorious red color and egg shape will instantly know you’ve got a KJ. Most people admire the classic and simple design, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. The ash collector and ashtray are made of somewhat thin steel, and I can see this burning and wearing through after a few years use…though time will tell. The secret sauce for high performance in any charcoal grill is a quality ventilation system. A proper ventilation system allows for you to precisely and predictably control your temperature. No matter whether you’re grilling a ribeye steak or smoking a BBQ brisket, temperature control and precision is crucial to achieve tasty results.
