Key Features

Divide & Conquer Flexible Cooking System allows you to cook food at multiple levels at different temperatures
  • The SloRoller hyperbolic insert provides rolling and recirculating heat and smoke distribution
  • Air lift hinge reduces dome weight, allowing you to lift the kamado lid with ease
  • Cast aluminum Kontrol Tower top vent allows for consistent airflow & prevents rain from entering the grill
  • Includes a heavy duty galvanized steel premium cart and powder coated aluminum side shelves which are highly durable and corrosion resistant
Kamado Joe introduces the third generation of their Big Joe series kamado grills with the Big Joe III. The Big Joe III is 24-inches in diameter and is constructed of a thick-walled, heat-resistant ceramic shell that helps to lock in smoke and moisture while grilling. The included Divide & Conquer cooking system is composed of a 3-tiered grate setup that allows for a larger cooking area up to 864 sq. inches and varying height levels for different temperature ranges giving you the ability to grill whatever you want however you want. This generation of kamados now comes with a SloRoller hyperbolic insert, developed by researchers at Harvard, which provides even distribution of heat and smoke by promoting a rolling and recirculating flow inside the kamado. The hyperbolic insert is removable and can be placed on the heavy-duty galvanized steel cart under the kamado when not desired to be used. The Amp firebox is made of high-fire, heat-resistant ceramic plates that are capable of resisting damage and breakage from high heat and stress. Sitting atop of the firebox is the 304 stainless steel charcoal basket that allows for easy cleanup and conservation of unused charcoal by quickly sifting ash between the basket bars. Once the ash is sifted, the slide out 304 stainless steel ash drawer gives a means of effortless removal. At the top of the Big Joe III is the powder coated cast aluminum Kontrol Tower top vent that provides precision temperature control by controlling the air flow through the kamado and stays on its current setting even while opening and closing the lid. The Air Lift Hinge makes opening and closing the lid a breeze by reducing roughly 96 percent of the weight of the lid. The Big Joe III also comes equipped with powder coated aluminum side shelves, an analog thermometer, a 304 stainless steel latch and firebox ring, a wire mesh fiberglass gasket, grate gripper, an ash cleaning tool, 3 tiered cooking rack, 2 half moon cooking grids, 2 half moon heat deflectors, SloRoller insert, and Cart.

Best Grill ever

I have several grills, but this latest addition to the collection is by far the most versatile. I am loving to smoke and grill with it.

Best grill I have ever had.

I bought this a couple of months ago and I'm cooking everything on it. Around 4 times per week.

Excellent taste

Setup was easy but definitely requires 2 people. Cooked on it 3 times now. Made burgers for the first cook, The second was chicken wings. I just got done with a rack of beef back ribs. Haven't tasted the ribs yet (they did get done sooner than expected so they are staying warm in the oven until dinnertime), but the others came out fantastic. Also loved that they included a free cover.

The Be(a)st!

I've allready purchased a KJ Clasic 2 which turned out a bit to small when grilling a bunch of Veal Ribs which the misses likes so much. This was the perfect excuse to go bigger! When we went to the store KJ Big Joe III didn't looked that Big. But when it arrived home and we filled it up with charcoal it came "alive alive". It's a beast of a grill! What ever you place on it there is plenty of space. No need for stacking or placing the ribs side ways anymore. Multiple dishes vegies, fish, meat all can go together, multiple zones, you name it. Low and Slow or Hot and Fast. The Big Joe III is tha Be(a)st!

Question:
I'm coming from a Traeger that I have had multiple issues with and I'm between the Kamado Joe III 24" and the Big Joe Konnected. From what I'm reading it almost seems like the benefits of the III outweigh the set it and forget. It seems like the quality of the product make it easy to hold heat on long cooks without having to camp out next to the grill. Not sure what direction to go??Was This Helpful?
Answers:

Hi Jim. While there is a learning curve to controlling the temperature of a kamado, one you get that you will find that the Kamado Joe III is almost an all-purpose appliance.

Asked by Jim | Answered by Wesley

I'm a big fan of my Big Joe III and also came from a pellet grill. I think the biggest thing that attracted me, like many things in life these days, is going back to a simpler solution. While technology is nice for some things, I prefer the manual management of fire and smoke. I just didn't like the idea of having to plug in a grill to power anymore I guess. I do use a remote probe thermometer to monitor both the meat and the ambient temperature of the inside of the grill. I've had my KJ for several years now and it has been great. I don't even cover it anymore and it still looks brand new.

What is the required cutout diameter for this model?Was This Helpful?
Answers:

Hi Brian. The Kamado Joe Classic measures 22.5 inches wide, and 30.5 inches deep. Kamado Joe does not specify a cut out, per se, other than keeping a clearance to combustibles of at least 3 feet.

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.

This item leaves our warehouse within 3-5 Business Days

$49 Flat-Rate Shipping

Anything under $49 ships at one low price. If your order increases, your shipping stays the same!

30-Day Returns

Return all new, unused, and unassembled items in their original packaging, and we'll give you a full refund minus the cost of the original AND return shipping.

No Restocking Fee

Most companies charge a restocking fee. We just don't do business that way.
