Kamado Joe Big Joe II

The Divide & Conquer system uses a flexible rack design that lets you split the cooking surface into different levels and zones. This allows you to cook foods that require different heat levels or cooking methods simultaneously, such as searing a steak on one side while roasting vegetables on the other.

Not at all. The Big Joe II features an Air Lift Hinge, which uses a spring-assisted mechanism to significantly reduce the weight of the lid. It makes opening and closing the heavy ceramic dome feel effortless.

Temperature control is managed through the Kontrol Tower Top Vent and the bottom air vent. By adjusting these two points, you can precisely regulate airflow to maintain steady temperatures for low-and-slow smoking or open them up for high-heat searing.

Ceramic is an incredible insulator, meaning it retains heat far more efficiently than thin steel. This allows for superior temperature stability, less charcoal consumption, and a more airtight environment that locks in moisture and flavor.

Yes, it arrives as a complete, freestanding unit that includes the cart, side tables, and the stainless steel cooking grates. You will just need to provide your own charcoal and fire starters to begin.

Cleanup is straightforward thanks to the slide-out ash drawer located at the bottom of the unit. You can simply pull it out and empty the ash after the grill has completely cooled, rather than having to scoop it out from the inside.
