Product Information

Will it burn a hole in the pocket for naught or will it ignite a spark for all things barbecue and grilling? Once it got going, the Kettle Joe reached cooking temperature quickly and maintained it for hours – the coals stayed hot even as we moved on to testing other barbecues, and started packing up for the day. I put some fire in the Kamado Joe Classic III Grill to test out what new things this grill was capable of. We did experience a lot of different-sized pieces, and saw a few small pops at the beginning of our low-and-slow test, but not enough to be considered a hazard. Light your charcoal with the push of a button and control and monitor you cooks via the Kontrol Board or the Kamado Joe app.

Formed into small cubes of pure paraffin wax, our premium Fire Starters deliver a clean, hot, and odorless eco-friendly burn.

The pieces should be between the size of a golf ball and a tennis ball, and you want to avoid brands where the bags contain lots of charcoal dust and pea-sized pieces, as they can hinder airflow. We loved the well-defined grill lines, as well as the enormous grill area which is great for catering to a crowd. In addition to being easy to light, it produced little ash and imparted a subtle flavor to our chicken breasts.

Then, I slid the large base ring (this is the one that needed figuring out) upwards on an angle and pushed it in. Imparting a medium-smoky flavor, these wood chunks are the ideal choice for a stronger flavor profile than apple and cherry, but lighter than hickory and mesquite. The revolutionary multi-level, half-rack design frees you to cook different foods in different styles at different temperatures—all at the same time.
