Joe Classic III Key Features & Advantages

1. Premium Ceramic Construction (18-Inch Cooking Diameter)

Thick, heat-retaining ceramic construction provides even cooking temperatures and excellent fuel efficiency. Its 18-inch diameter is ideal for grilling for families and small groups while still offering professional-grade performance.

2. SloRoller Hyperbolic Smoke Chamber

Developed with patented Harvard engineering, this insert transforms the Kamado Joe Classic III into a highly efficient smoke chamber. It optimizes airflow for even heat distribution and enhances flavor by recirculating smoke over your food. Designed for low-and-slow cooking up to 500°F.

3. Divide & Conquer® 3-Tier Cooking System

This modular cooking system features split racks and heat deflectors that allow you to cook multiple foods at different temperatures at the same time. Easily switch between direct and indirect cooking methods for grilling, baking, roasting, and smoking.

4. Air Lift™ Hinge

Reduces the dome’s weight by 96% to allow effortless opening and closing. Minimizes the risk of dropping the lid and damaging the grill.

5. Kontrol Tower™ Top Vent

All-weather, rust-resistant aluminum vent maintains consistent airflow management even during lid movement. Adjusts easily for precise temperature control from smoking (225°F) to searing (750°F).

6. Stainless Steel Charcoal Basket & Firebox

Promotes efficient airflow within the firebox and simplifies clean-up. Includes built-in divider for dual-zone fire configuration.

7. Wire Mesh Fiberglass Gasket

Offers superior sealing and heat retention. Outlasts traditional felt gaskets with 10x the longevity.

8. Heavy-Duty Powder-Coated Cart

Durable, corrosion-resistant steel cart features locking caster wheels for mobility and two folding HDPE side shelves for convenient prep space.
