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

Product Information

Design quality is spectacular and so were the materials used for construction. Zero corners were cut, and seemingly every single square inch of this cooker is well thought out. 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. Compared to other style vents, it prevents water (rain) from getting inside the grill. And it solved the issue of older, wheel-style top vents moving position when you opened and closed the grill lid. The Big Joe also has the new Air-Lift-Hinge. This makes a big difference on all the grills but especially for the bigger models like the Big Joe. With other kamado grills on the market allowing the dome to fall or slam during lifting or closing, for Kamado Joe this just wasn’t good enough. Their break through hinge reduces the dome weight by 96% so you can lift it with a finger and stop it wherever you want. The Big Joe also goes above and beyond with their gasket, one of the most important components of a kamado grill. Many other competitors utilize felt gaskets or other inferior materials. Kamado Joe on the other hand has a fiberglass gasket in place that is of the utmost quality and ensures an airtight seal and extended shelf life.

You’ll find all of these features on both the Classic III and the Big Joe III. The Big Joe line is an enlarged version of the Classic with significantly more cooking space for when you need to cook for a crowd. So which one should I get? The most notable feature of the Kamado Joe Big Joe II is undoubtedly the bright red, egg shaped ceramic cooking chamber. You won’t find a better insulator than the ceramics used to construct the shell of this grill. KamadoJoe Half Moon Soapstone, soapstone's have the amazing grilling ability of maintaining any foods natural aroma, taste and moisture while grilling. Well, in this comprehensive Kamado Joe Big Joe III review, we are going to talk about all things Big Joe III. And trust me, he is BIG! But there is also a lot more to him than just his size, he is a great piece of kit that combines brains and brawn.Economical – it is essentially an airtight pot, so after using it the Kamado can be shut down and up to 80 percent of the coals will be reusable. To clean the outside, you can simply wipe with a damp dishcloth, and use a little soap if you please, just make sure to rinse it afterward thoroughly. On the topic of temperature levels – the Big Joe II is designed to be able to steadily maintain temperatures of 225°F to 750°F. That’s an incredibly wide temperature range, and affords you the ability to smoke meats low and slow, sear, grill, roast, and even bake Neapolitan style pizza all on the same cooker.

I have used the SloRoller more than 20 times since owning this grill. Overall, I have mixed views about it.

However, this grill also does look very different from previous models. It’s a true category-leading grill with so many new design tweaks and features.

Ease and safety – since fewer coals are actually burned completely during cooking, there are very few ashes to remove. 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.
