One of the best things about the Kamado Joe line is how versatile their grills are. Kamado Joe has built on this versatility by producing a range of excellent accessories. Some of our favorites include: The JoeTisserie The SloRoller creates recirculating waves inside the gill, distributing heat and smoke evenly throughout the cooking chamber, kissing all foods equally with smoke, and eliminating any heat spots for a more even cook.

The top plate is made of metal and doesn’t do as good a job as the ceramic heat deflectors in eliminating direct, radiant heat if you go up past 450 °F. I feel the metal gets too hot, then radiates heat itself, and can cause the bottom of foods to burn. So you must flip foods if roasting that high. (Note: It’s rare that you ever roast up past 430 °F anyway, so it’s not too big a deal.) Kamado Joe designed an air lift hinge system to solve this problem. The air lift hinge reduces the force required to open the lid by 96% – you can actually open it with a single finger! On the way down, the lid also naturally closes slowly and safely so you don’t have to worry about it slamming shut. So on that note, here are, in our humble opinion, the Big Joe III’s best features, and how we found them while grilling and smoking. Large Cooking Area It has a scale for Fahrenheit and Celsius, markings for smoking, bbq-roasting, and smokehouse searing, and measures from 150 °F to 900 °F

Very little clean up – all grease and spattering are absorbed by the Kamado and eventually burn off. The new 3-tier Divide & Conquer cooking system, combined with the new stainless steel charcoal basket, make it easier than ever to cook at different temperatures inside your kamado grill.

The new design provides 510 square inches of cooking space or 864 square inches in the Big Joe III. 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.

This little tray sits just inside the bottom vent and collects ash that falls down through the charcoal basket. A soapstone half-moon cooking surface is a somewhat popular cooking surface for high heat searing that you might also like to try out. 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. Overall, the grill looks solid, feels solid, looks to last a lifetime, and is aesthetically pleasing and a real feature for the garden too. I’m impressed. Ease of Use
