The Kamado Joe Kettle Joe has raised the bar for ceramic kettle cooking and will forever challenge your tastebuds and food preference. The Kettle Joe has loads of new features, boasts better heat retention, fuel efficiency, slow cooking and smoking abilities and it comes at an incredibly affordable price.

Is the Kamado Joe Kettle Joe the same as a Kamado Joe Grill?

With the typical Kamado shape, colour and quality, the Kettle Joe looks like the instantly recognisable Kamado Joe Grill. Its grilling surface is 10cm larger than the Classic and only 5cm smaller than the Big Joe. However, it is a brand-new model with all the benefits of a Kamado, augmented by lots of new features, but cheaper than any of the other models.

What is a kettle grill?

The Kamado Joe Kettle Grill is a spherical charcoal grill that resembles a kettle with two sets of vents. It includes a domed lid, ceramic firebox, stainless-steel cooking grates, Sl?Roller smoke insert and patented hyperbolic smoking ring.

What makes the Kamado Joe Kettle Joe special?

Ceramic retains heat better than any other material, resulting in high heat cooking and fuel efficiency. The stainless-steel grate, ceramic firebox and ceramic fire ring are designed with grooves holding the various ceramic pieces together for the best possible airflow and grill temperature control. A Ceramic firebox is much more durable than any other material. The efficient ceramic firebox reaches higher temperatures of up to 360 °C; allows for longer cooking times; and uses less charcoal.

The patented SloRoller™ is an hourglass-shaped heat diffuser for slow cooking, designed to harness cyclonic airflow technology to distribute heat evenly across the cooking surface and to control smoking temperatures up to 260 °C. The circulating waves of heat and smoke reduce hot spots and give the food oodles of flavour making it a fine smoker.

This premium feature allows you to set up different cooking zones for food. The half-moon stainless steel cooking grates are set up at different heights to simultaneously cook foods at different temperatures.

With a total cooking area of almost 2400 cm2, the Kettle Joe is large enough for a family. Its diameter is 10cm bigger than the Kamado Joe Classic and only 5cm smaller than the Big Joe.

Why is an adjustable hinged lid a big deal? It is much easier to open and close the grill, leaves your hands free and you don’t need to find a place to put the lid down. 

Folding side shelves allow for a large preparation area, but can be folded away for easy storage or moving the Kettle Joe around on its sturdy locking casters. The ash drawer lets you quickly and easily clean the Kettle Joe without having to remove all the inside components.
