NoteDue to their speical use and packaging, CGS Chariot - Ceramic Grill Mover cannot be returned or exchanged.
The Chariot package includes 3 of the 4 key pieces to building your own chariot:
After delivering our first ceramic grill (years ago), we recognized one important thing: we needed to come up with an efficient way to move the grills. We tried numerous moving methods but it did not take long to recognize our chariot mover was/is the quickest and easiest way to move a kamado grill.
For the last couple years, we've offered the chariot to our in-store customers who did self installs. When they returned the chariot, we generally asked, how'd it go. The consistent response we heard was....the chariot made the job so easy.
two cut-to-form wood braces;
two threaded rods with nuts/washers;
screws to attach the braces to the arms.
You'll need to add the fourth key piece: two 2" x 4" wood arms. It's a quick trip to your local lumberyard for two 2"x 4"x 8' wood studs. We don't include the arms because shipping them cost more than buying them.
Tools need to build the chariot:
We include these tools in the Chariot kit:
bit to drill the pilot holes for the screws;
Phillips head screw bit for your drill to drive the screws;
spade bit to drill the holes for the threaded rod;
You need to supply these tools:
saw, drill, measuring tape and pencil.
We include a video link to a build tutorial with each kit purchase. The cool thing is once you have the Chariot, you'll be set for any future moves. Don't be surprised if friends or family want to borrow it!
NOTE: Due to the special nature of the chariot kit, it is non-returnable.

Do not recommend
Do not waste your money
Sorry you missed the Note on the Chariot's page that it is non-returnable. Odd reason not to recommend it. Enjoy your Big Joe and don't forget to register it with Kamado Joe.

You need this to move a Kamado Big Joe 3
I wondered whether I really needed to buy this before my Kamado Big Joe 3 arrived. I had to move my it from my driveway to my backyard patio and put it on its stand. I put the chariot together and used Gorilla glue in addition to the screws provided. I asked 3 friends to help me move the grill. The Big Joe 3 is super heavy and it took all four of us to move the grill and raise it up on the stand. I’m really glad I bought the chariot rather than risking injuring our backs. I’m glad it was four of us rather than two.

Ceramic Grill Mover
I have a Kamado Joe Classic which was sitting snugly in my grill cart. I'm in the process of moving and the new owners were not interested in keeping my smoker (how crazy is that - lol) so I needed a way to extract the KJ and didn't know what to do. I, like others, came across the video created by Ceramic Grill Store on how to move a ceramic smoker and decided to purchase the mover tool. It arrived quickly and included all necessary parts (excluding the 2 x 4's which makes total sense). I was extremely impressed by the included drill bits which made the job that much easier. I assembled per the instructions and, with a friend, I was able to easily pull up and out my KJ. It was a life saver. I will say that on my 1st attempt, it seemed a little loose so we made a quick couple of turns of the bolts which tighten it up and did the trick.
With that said, I highly recommend purchasing the Ceramic Grill Mower. You won't be disappointed.

Buy it; it works and is easy. You won't regret it.
When I bought the table nest for my new grill, I was worried about how I was going to successfully get the KJ BJ3 from my garage to seated into the table without breaking it. I came across a video for the Chariot on YT and thought it was a great idea. For merely a convenience factor I bought it and after putting it together. I called a friend to help me move the grill from the garage to the backyard. It literally took us less than 5 minutes. I set up an end table next to the grill nest table and moved it from garage to the end table. Then repositioned grip and lifted from end table up onto the nest table. Repositioned grip again and set it down easily into the nest table hole on top of the trivet.
Don't think about "Can I make this myself for cheaper?" Buy it and you will have the tool you will need to move your Kamado grill without fear of dropping and breaking it at any time you need while you own the grill.
This is the real deal.
