Key Features
- Divide & Conquer Flexible Cooking System allows you to cook food at multiple levels at different temperatures
- The SloRoller hyperbolic insert provides rolling and recirculating heat and smoke distribution
- Air lift hinge reduces dome weight, allowing you to lift the kamado lid with ease
- Cast aluminum Kontrol Tower top vent allows for consistent airflow & prevents rain from entering the grill
- Includes a heavy duty galvanized steel premium cart and powder coated aluminum side shelves which are highly durable and corrosion resistant
Kamado Joe introduces the third generation of their Big Joe series kamado grills with the Big Joe III. The Big Joe III is 24-inches in diameter and is constructed of a thick-walled, heat-resistant ceramic shell that helps to lock in smoke and moisture while grilling. The included Divide & Conquer cooking system is composed of a 3-tiered grate setup that allows for a larger cooking area up to 864 sq. inches and varying height levels for different temperature ranges giving you the ability to grill whatever you want however you want. This generation of kamados now comes with a SloRoller hyperbolic insert, developed by researchers at Harvard, which provides even distribution of heat and smoke by promoting a rolling and recirculating flow inside the kamado. The hyperbolic insert is removable and can be placed on the heavy-duty galvanized steel cart under the kamado when not desired to be used. The Amp firebox is made of high-fire, heat-resistant ceramic plates that are capable of resisting damage and breakage from high heat and stress. Sitting atop of the firebox is the 304 stainless steel charcoal basket that allows for easy cleanup and conservation of unused charcoal by quickly sifting ash between the basket bars. Once the ash is sifted, the slide out 304 stainless steel ash drawer gives a means of effortless removal. At the top of the Big Joe III is the powder coated cast aluminum Kontrol Tower top vent that provides precision temperature control by controlling the air flow through the kamado and stays on its current setting even while opening and closing the lid. The Air Lift Hinge makes opening and closing the lid a breeze by reducing roughly 96 percent of the weight of the lid. The Big Joe III also comes equipped with powder coated aluminum side shelves, an analog thermometer, a 304 stainless steel latch and firebox ring, a wire mesh fiberglass gasket, grate gripper, an ash cleaning tool, 3 tiered cooking rack, 2 half moon cooking grids, 2 half moon heat deflectors, SloRoller insert, and Cart.

 | KJ BJ IIIThis has been the best grill I've ever had the pleasure of owning, after purchasing a new KJ classic 1, this was a natural upgrade & has been a breeze. The BJ can be more economical in charcoal use depending on use!, even the Joetisserie is able to hold so much more! | Was This Helpful? |
| Jack of all trades and great at all of them!I have been using it for quite some time now, and I absolutely love my BJ3! Has tons of great accessories, extremely versatile, and holds temps incredibly well! | Was This Helpful? |
| Best grill EVER!So, I was on the edge - should I keep the gas grill, or make the leap. Well. I am now feet first. It took me two cooks to get the charcoal ration correct, but I could not have been more pleased. I have grilled, smoked, seared, rotisseried (is that a word?) The versatility, flavor and results are all the BOMB!! I am a complete and utter convert. I have had gas, pellet and regular charcoal grills in the past. I am a Certified BBQ Judge, former restauranter, and you average Joe. I could not have asked for a better unit for all the attributes. So not hesitate, jump on into the deep end! | Was This Helpful? |
| awesome ceramic grill/ovenBig Joe delivers on a premium grilling and smoking experience, and can literally provide a lifetime of value to you, your family and friends. | Was This Helpful? |
| All in one grill. Amazing!I've had the big joe III for 8 months. I used it at least 3 times a week, I love it. I does everything grill, low and slow smoke and bake. I have the rotisserie attached and it's great. Once you stabilize the grill at the desired temp it's a dream. No temp fluctuations. My stick burner smoker hasn't seen any action since we made our joe part of the family | Was This Helpful? |
| Clearly a better choice.I purchased my Classic Joe III 2 months ago and have been very impressed. First the ability to precisely control cooking temperatures is astonishing. Whether it is low and slow or screaming hot the Joe can do the job. Many of the most useful accessories come standard. The lid can be raised or lowered with my little finger. On a low and slow smoke it maintains temperature for hours without further attention. This is my first experience with a Kamado type grill and I could not be more happy. The results simply speaks for themselves. Delicious and perfectly cooked BBQ. Thank You Kamado Joe! Stephen Smith | Was This Helpful? |
| So much fun cookingI bought this is 2020 and have loved cooking in it ever since. | Was This Helpful? |
| What a versatile cooker!!I have owned my Big Joe 3 for almost 2 years. Cooking on this Kamado is such a fun and rewarding experience. I have the cast iron half moon and it just adds to the versatility of this. I enjoy all the different features that Kamado joe has. After having the big Joe I also got a Joe Jr! Being able to do low and slow, indirect, high heat, smoke flavor, you get to choose how you use it. | Was This Helpful? |
| Love my Kamado Joe!!Had my Classic III several years ago and it changed my bbq experience for the better! The ability to set and hold smoking temperatures with ease has revolutionized my bbq menu! With the divide and conquer rack system, this bbq provides unmatched flexibility! Every cook is a new adventure! | Was This Helpful? |
| My first real smoker, heavily researched2 months ago I lived in an apartment and was only allowed a gas grill on my balcony. Life circumstances had forced me to part with my Webber kettle, I was ok with it though. I told myself soon I would live in a house again and I wanted a smoker anyway. I binge several YouTube chefs regularly and they all have that big green rival of Kamado Joe's...That's the one I thought I wanted. But, any kamado is an investment so I researched. I dove further down the YouTube rabbit hole, I consulted my friends, family, and several BBQ social media communities. What I found time and again, is that while no one was militantly dissatisfied with the Green, everyone that had both an egg and a Joe, seemed to like their Joe's better. The gasket is superior, it comes with a standard set of accessories that makes it easy for a first time owner, and what ultimately put me over the edge is Green's new CEO gutted their stellar warranty for 2024 screwing both their customers AND dealers in the process. This made Kamado Joe the far superior choice in my eyes. I'll be 37 in May, I'm just starting my BBQ journey and I have a lot to learn. I fully expect to leave my Big Joe III to my family for future generations to enjoy, it's that well built. | Was This Helpful? |

Things We Love
Kamado Joe is the fastest growing brand in the Kamado industry for a reason. Introducing innovation with each new model, the kamado style cookers keep getting better and better. The Kamado Joe Classic III and Big Joe III are no exception. With awesome new features like an updated cooking system, SloRoller hyperbolic chamber, and an easy-to-use Airlift hinge, these smokers infuse rich, smoky flavor to just about any food!
Updated Divide & Conquer Flexible Cooking System
Kamado Joe is famous for their patented Divide & Conquer Flexible Cooking System. It’s an impressive multi-level cooking rack design that allows you to cook foods at different temperatures, at the same time. You can also create different heat zones in the kamado with Kamado Joe's half-moon shaped heat deflector plates. The plates partially block off heat to provide both direct & indirect heat from the open flame. For example, you could cook veggies on the upper level of the cooking rack, with the heat deflector blocking direct heat from the charcoal, while a steak gets a nice sear on one of the lower levels above the open flame.
The Kamado Joe Classic III and Big Joe III has a new and improved 3-tiered split rack. With this new addition, you can opt for 6 half-moon split cooking grids with 2 half-moon split heat deflector plates, or 4 half-moon split cooking grids and the SloRoller insert. Each level can span the entire surface of the smoker, or only half. Designed for flexibility, you can configure the grates to work however you need them too – the options are abundant!
You can also use a charcoal basket with the divider. This makes it really easy to separate leftover charcoal from ash. The divider, when combined with a split heat deflector plate, allows for direct heat on one side and indirect heat on the other side. It should be noted that the Kamado Joe Classic III and Big Joe III come with a divided charcoal basket, a 3 tiered flexible cooking rack, 1 accessory rack, 2 half-moon split cooking grids, 2 half-moon split heat deflector plates and the SloRoller insert. To get the full functionality of the divide and conquer system, 4 additional half-moon split cooking grids and 2 additional accessory racks can be purchased seperately.
Air-Lift Hinge
The new air lift hinge makes lifting the lid of the Kamado Joe III’s easier than ever before. The updated hinge features a single spring-loaded counterbalance mechanism that provides an ultra-light feel when opening the domed lid. It decreases the weight of the lid by 96%! Not only does this make lifting easier, but it also lowers the chance of the lid being broken or cracked by slamming down.
Great Customer Service
Kamado Joe really caters to their customers by providing excellent customer service. Any time you have an issue, the Kamado Joe team will work tirelessly to help you figure it out and get the issue resolved. They also offer a great warranty! Ceramic parts come with a lifetime warranty. Metal and cast iron parts are covered for 5 years. Ceramic plates are covered for 3 years, and fiberglass gaskets are covered for one year.
Great Accessories
While the Kamado Joe Classic and Big Joe III come with everything you need to get grilling right away, including an ash tool, grate lifter, 3-tiered cooking rack, 1 accessory rack, 2 half-moon cooking grids, 2 half-moon heat deflector plates, SloRoller insert, powder coated side shelves, slide out ash drawer and a divided charcoal basket, they also offer some awesome accessories to enhance your grilling or smoking experience. The Joetisserie can transform your kamado into a rotisserie. It can turn up to 50 pounds of chicken, pork loin, prime rib, or any kind of meat. It’s easy to install and can really amp up any party!
Things to Consider
The SloRoller is built for low and slow cooking. It shouldn’t be operated above 500F, as the Teflon coating can break down if it gets too hot. Make sure to refer to your owner’s manual on proper use of your grill and accessories.
