Kamado Joe

Kamado-style grills have their origins in traditional Asian wood oven cooking. The design allows for convection airflow which distributes heat and flavour evenly.  Innovation comes standard with Kamado Joe. The patented ‘divide and conquer’ tiered cooking system gives you the ability to cook a range of bbq foods at different temperatures. Excellent temperature control allows you to cook low and slow or to sear at high temperatures, plus everything in between. The result is amazing smoke bbq flavour and the primal experience of bbq fire pit cooking. 

What’s the difference between the different generations (I, II and III) of Kamado Joe grills?

Kamado Joe has introduced generation II and III models over the years. The Classic and Big Joe I may not feature all the bells and whistles of more recent models but are great quality and great performers if you’re on a budget. 

Generation II models introduced some extra quality and user experience features including mould and rain resistant top vent,  patented ‘one finger lid lift’ Air Lift Hinge, superior gasket and a more crack-proof multipanel firebox. 

The III series grills see the addition of the SloRoller, a hyperbolic smoke chamber that uses Harvard science to optimize smoke flavour and even heat distribution. Generation III grills also include a 3 tier divide and conquer system (as opposed to 2 tiers in the gen II models) and a number of other new or improved features including upgraded cart.
