Lets talk about the different models and sizes that are offered by Kamado Joe, and what sets Kamado Joe aport from its competitors. Most people are already very familiar with some of the cool features that set this grill apart. First is, one of the best upgrades this smoker gets over the big green egg, is going to be the spring assisted hood. Ceramic Grills are traditionally very heavy, and so is this grill. It can be tough to be lifting the heavy lid all the time, so its a nice little feature that is offered. Also kamado offers a different chimney system that doesn’t move when you lift the lid, I know this sounds like a small thing but its pretty annoying when you have to constantly readjust your draft all the time. So It is for sure a big plus. Also you get a thick restaurant grade material on the grill itself which helps you get a nice tight seal on everything.
Lets talk about models and sizes now. The smallest in the series is the Joe Junior or the JR. There really isn’t much options with this guy, it comes as one size, and just the standard not a lot of bells and whistles to it.
Then you have the Joe Classic, this is a standard 18” diameter cooking space as well. It can be ordered as the Joe II or the Joe III. The Joe II comes with everything we mentioned above, comes with a standard stand as well, a Bunch of cooking accessories, so its a great all I one package!
When you upgrade to the big Joe III however. In my opinion this is when this grill really starts to separate itself from the completion, where big green egg, primo, and any other kamado cooker just can’t keep up
The III style or upgrade is a lot deeper of a grill, and this extra depth allows us to do a lot of fun things here. One, by having this depth we can cook at different levels, which means we can sear if we want super low, on high heat, or cook near the top of the lid if you want to smoke your meat. Kamado Joe calls this thing the sloroller hyperbolic smoke chamber. This is supposed to create a ton more smoke for a full smoke flavor. Now you know I am going to have to put this to the test and see just how well it actually works.
So that’s it, that’s the product line in a nutshell. Personally I think its just like a ll the competitors and im not particularly excited about it, until we get to the III series, that is when this grill really starts to set itself apart from the competition.
Dont forget if your in the Denver Colorado area, come see these products in person.
