Big Joe III Key Features & Advantages

1. 24-Inch Ceramic Kamado Grill

With over 452 square inches of cooking space, the Big Joe III is ideal for high-volume cooks. It easily fits three full racks of ribs, multiple chickens, or a large roast. Built from thick-walled, heat-resistant ceramic, it retains heat and moisture better than traditional metal grills.

2. SloRoller Hyperbolic Smoke Chamber

Engineered by Harvard University, the SloRoller insert transforms the grill into one of the most efficient smoke chambers available—distributing smoke and heat evenly across food while reducing hot spots. Ideal for low-and-slow smoking at up to 500°F.

3. Divide & Conquer® 3-Tier Cooking System

A revolutionary multi-level half-rack design allows you to cook different foods in different styles at different temperatures—all at the same time. Maximize space, control cooking zones, and grill more efficiently.

4. Air Lift™ Hinge

The specially designed hinge reduces dome weight by 96%, allowing you to lift the heavy ceramic lid with a single finger—enhancing ease of use and safety.

5. Kontrol Tower™ Aluminum Top Vent

All-weather top vent provides consistent airflow management. It stays in place during lid opening and closing, offering precise control from 225°F for smoking to 750°F for searing.

6. 304 Stainless Steel Components

Includes premium stainless steel charcoal basket, firebox, cooking grates, and hardware to ensure corrosion resistance and long-lasting durability.

7. Wire Mesh Fiberglass Gasket

This advanced gasket system offers superior heat retention and a 10x longer lifespan than traditional felt gaskets—ensuring consistent performance over time.

8. Heavy-Duty Cart & Side Shelves

Powder-coated steel cart with locking caster wheels and folding HDPE side shelves make moving and prepping effortless.
