SlōRoller Hyperbolic Smoke Chamber -The first of its kind, the revolutionary SlōRoller leverages patented, Harvard science that transforms a Kamado Joe®into one of the world’s most optimal smokers.

Take a look at theamazing Kamado Joe BBQ Bundles we have, ourlimited offer includes essential Kamado Joe AccessoriesFREE of charge with every grill. Don't miss out! Weighing up the pros and cons, I would say if you have a version 1 or 2 Kamado Joe grill, it’s not worth buying and adding a SloRoller to your grill. Either bury the wood under the charcoal, or spread the wood chunks across the top of the fire. Don’t put the wood too close together, because you don’t want them all to burn at the same time.

Breakthrough hinge reduces dome weight by 96%. Developed in conjunction with Weber Knapp in upstate New York, the world’s leading premium hinge maker. With innovative features, huge grilling space, the possibility of simultaneous direct and indirect cooking methods, and new smoking technology with the SloRoller under his ceramic belt, it is a superior grill for sure. If there’s one thing you should aim to master in your Kamado Joe, it’s the smoked brisket. I asked three brisket masters how they smoke a competition style brisket, so if you have a spare 12 hours this weekend, you can try out these pro tips yourself. In this post, I’ll show you how to set up your Kamado Joe for brisket, walk you through all the preparation from the selecting the best brisket at the butcher shop through the high-level techniques that will blow your dinner guests away. Key Points Very little clean up – all grease and spattering are absorbed by the Kamado and eventually burn off.This isKamado Joe's newest, hottest and most exciting product yet! The Kamado Joe Kettle Joeis kettle grill but with all the benefits of a Kamado, improved heat retention, fuel efficiency and awesomesmoking ability. Take a look. On top of all of that, there are a few more design features of the Big Joe that make it stand out from the competition. Ceramic grills by nature are heavy – the Big Joe II in fact is about 375 pounds! With many ceramic grills, opening and closing the lid takes effort. Usually about 20 to 25 pounds of force is required to open the lid, and on the way down you have to be extremely careful to let it down slowly to not allow all of that inertia to damage your grill. In 2019, Kamado Joe released their version III grill range, including the Classic Joe and the Big Joe. They are essentially the same design with the same functionality, but Big Joe III has a much larger grilling capacity. First, you should definitely plan to use lump charcoal to fuel your kamado grill. Kamado Joe sells their own brand of lump charcoal but you can use any kind you want! Lump charcoal is a type of organic, all natural fuel that burns extremely clean and has zero additives in it like many charcoal briquettes do. Most importantly, lump charcoal produces minimal ash when it’s burned, which is key for all kamado grills – by design their ventilation systems will get clogged up with too much ash. You can read more about the difference between lump charcoal vs briquettes here.

The Kontrol Tower is made of aluminum, so it will not corrode if exposed, but I would hope for better in such a high end grill. I have seen many people get warranty replacements, so hopefully by the time you read this it’s been improved upon. Design quality is second to none. Zero corners were cut, and seemingly every single square inch of this cooker is well thought out design wise. Not all kamado grills are equal. Some kamados, such as Kamado Joe BBQs feature a higher quality construction and feature a much better design to create a more versatile grill, such as therevolutionary SloRoller Hyperbolic Smoke Chamber insert.Please note, however, that the SloRoller has a max temp of 500 °F. So do not have this in the grill for a high heat clean. However, it comes with the version 3 grills as standard, and if you have it, you may as well use it. KJ offers a lifetime warranty on the ceramic parts (just as long as you are the original owner), a 5-year warranty on the metal parts, a 3-year warranty on the heat deflectors and pizza stone and a 1-year warranty on the gasket and thermometer. Most notably, the third generation of the Big Joe introduces Kamado Joe’s SloRoller Technology. In short, this technology utilizes a hyperbolic chamber which distributes heat and smoke throughout your cooker in rolling, recirculating waves. Like many all-singing and all-dancing grills, it takes a bit of practice to understand and master, especially if you’ve never had a kamado grill before.
