Delivery & Placement Planning

At over 400 lbs., moving a Big Joe III requires planning. Do not lift the grill by the hinge—the hinge and band assembly are not designed to support the full weight of the grill during lifting.

To position your grill safely without damage, use a dedicated lifter like the CGS Chariot.

Pro Tip: Check local listings or Facebook Marketplace—many customers buy a Chariot for setup and pass it along after installation.
