Kamado Joe Big Joe Grill Series II

Not at all. The grill features an Air Lift Hinge that significantly reduces the weight of the ceramic lid, allowing you to open and close it with minimal effort.

The Kontrol Tower vent is made of cast aluminum and is designed to maintain precise airflow settings even when you open the lid. It prevents rain from entering the grill and ensures your temperature remains stable throughout the cook.

Cleanup is straightforward thanks to the patented slide-out Ash Draw. You can simply pull the drawer out from the bottom of the grill to empty the ash without needing to remove the internal cooking grates.
