Overview

Lifting the dome of this Kamado Joe Classic takes little effort thanks to a spring hinge, and a top vent holds its setting as the lid opens. The thick ceramic body locks in heat while the SloRoller insert circulates smoke over the food.

Everything needed to start cooking arrives in one package, from cart and cover to charcoal and firestarters. Ceramic kamados demand patience to learn, since vent changes take time to settle the temperature.

Who it's for

Made for backyard cooks who smoke, sear and roast on one charcoal grill. People who want push button heat should look at gas or pellet.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Multi-level cooking zones
  • Even smoke circulation
  • Light lift dome hinge
  • Rain resistant top vent
Cons
  • Cooking area figures conflict in listing
  • Slow to change temperature

Performance notes

Ceramic walls store heat and keep moisture in, so temperature holds steady once vents are set. The hyperbolic insert rolls heat and smoke around the dome for even cooking. A charcoal basket sifts ash so leftover fuel can be reused.
