The Kamado Joe Big Joe III is a 24-inch ceramic charcoal grill built for cooks who refuse to compromise. With 604 square inches of primary cooking space and a suite of proprietary technologies refined over generations, this is the grill you buy once and cook on for a lifetime.
Low-and-slow briskets, wood-fired pizzas at 700°F, reverse-seared ribeyes, whole spatchcocked birds — the Big Joe III handles all of it without asking you to choose. The SlōRoller Hyperbolic Insert generates cyclonic airflow that wraps heat and smoke evenly around the meat, eliminating hot spots that plague conventional smokers. The Divide & Conquer Flexible Cooking System lets you run two independent cooking zones at different heights and temperatures simultaneously — smoking a rack of ribs on one level while searing vegetables on another. The Kontrol Tower top vent keeps your airflow calibrated whether the lid is open or closed, so temperature holds steady when you check on the cook.
The AMP Firebox is engineered with precision airflow channels and splits cleanly in half for effortless ash removal — no scooping, no mess. The Air Lift Hinge counterbalances the lid so precisely that it opens with a single finger, even at the Big Joe's scale. Kamado Joe backs the ceramic components and metal parts with a lifetime warranty — a manufacturer's confidence that matches what this grill actually delivers.
Generates cyclonic airflow that circulates heat and smoke in a continuous loop around the food, producing even bark development and consistent internal temperatures without repositioning the meat.
Multi-level cooking grates run at independent heights and heat zones simultaneously, giving you the range of a full outdoor kitchen within a single grill.
Maintains your dialed-in airflow setting through open and close cycles, so lifting the lid to check the cook doesn't send your temperature drifting.
A 24-inch ceramic cooking diameter with room for a full packer brisket, multiple racks of ribs, or a whole pig — without crowding the fire zone.
Precision-engineered airflow channels maximize combustion efficiency, while the split-design base separates for clean, tool-free ash removal after the cook.
A counterbalanced lid mechanism neutralizes the weight of the ceramic dome so it opens with one finger — critical at Big Joe scale where the lid weighs considerably more than smaller kamados.
Thick-walled ceramic construction retains heat with exceptional efficiency, holding target temperatures with minimal charcoal consumption across cooks that run 12 hours or longer.
The included locking-wheel cart positions the Big Joe at a stable, ergonomic cooking height and lets you reposition it across the patio without lifting.

- Open the top and bottom vents fully after finishing and allow the grill to burn off residual grease for 10–15 minutes before closing and cooling.
- Once fully cooled, remove the split AMP Firebox halves and discard ash — never remove ash while the grill is warm or in use.
- Brush the cooking grates with a stiff grill brush while they retain residual warmth; hardened residue is significantly harder to remove once fully cold.
- Inspect and replace the felt gasket seal if you notice heat escaping around the lid join — a tight seal is essential to temperature control and fuel efficiency.
- Store the Big Joe under a fitted cover or protected from direct rain exposure; while the ceramic is highly durable, prolonged moisture intrusion into any hairline cracks can expand them during freeze-thaw cycles.
- Check the bands, hinge hardware, and top vent cap seasonally and tighten or replace as needed — all covered under Kamado Joe's 5-year warranty on hardware components.
