Kamado Joe BBQs offer a range of ceramic grills that impart a rich, smoky flavour to meat, fish and vegetables. Their innovative design is inspired by the kamado, an ancient, Asian style grill, which worked by air flowing through the grill's ceramic body and out from its vented dome. Kamado Joe is proud to draw on that tradition, while modernising the grill’s classic style with unparalleled craftsmanship, innovative accessories and a range of flexible cooking surfaces. Whether tailgating or cooking out by the lake, the high quality—and portable— Kamado Joe - Joe Jrmakes premium grilling possible just about anywhere. The Kamado JoeKettle Joe Moisture retention​ - the shape of the Kamado Joe creates convection currents inside that create air circulation that helps retain moisture. When I open the dome lid on my Kamado Joe bbq my glasses often fog over from the moisture. That doesn't happen on any of my other grills. The moist environment helps provide more efficient cooking without the need for a water pan. Very little clean up – all grease and spattering are absorbed by the Kamado and eventually burn off. From their smaller Joe Jr. to their larger Big Joe III, Kamado Joe has created an advanced collection of ceramic BBQ grills.

There's no escaping the fact that you're going to need some muscle to move this BBQ. Hand grips are also few and far between, with one person having to lift from the very low fire grate at the base.

When it comes right down to it, most pitmasters will be satisfied with the Classic II or, if they need a little extra cooking space, the Big Joe II. On top of all of that, there are a few more design features of the Big Joe that make it stand out from the competition. Ceramic grills by nature are heavy – the Big Joe II in fact is about 375 pounds! With many ceramic grills, opening and closing the lid takes effort. Usually about 20 to 25 pounds of force is required to open the lid, and on the way down you have to be extremely careful to let it down slowly to not allow all of that inertia to damage your grill. The 18-inch diameter cooking surface of the Classic II was plenty big enough for all the things we wanted to grill, though we did cook the pizzas one at a time.Breakthrough hinge reduces dome weight by 96%. Developed in conjunction with Weber Knapp in upstate New York, the world’s leading premium hinge maker. 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.

Moisture retention – since very little air is used in cooking, meats come out juicy with a minimum amount of shrinkage. It took 25 minutes for the BBQ to reach 250 degrees, with the in-built thermometer in the lid making it an easy job to watch the temperature rise. Although, after a typical British downpour we did find there was fogging on the thermometer dial after the rain. From their excellent build quality to their ability to hold a consistent airflow and temperature, the Kamado Joe II line has developed a reputation for uncompromising quality.
