Is the Big Joe III Right for You?

Compared to the Classic Joe III, the 24" Big Joe III offers significantly more cooking space—450 sq. inches vs 250 sq. inches. The Big Joe is ideal for large families, entertaining, and multi-zone cooking.

If you regularly cook briskets, multiple racks of ribs, larger quantities of food, or want more room to run direct and indirect zones at the same time, the Big Joe's extra cooking area is a meaningful upgrade over the Classic Joe.

Choosing Your Configuration: Cart vs. Built-In

Which setup fits your outdoor space?

  • Select the Cart Model if you want mobility around your patio, built-in side shelf workspace, and lower storage without permanent installation.
  • Select the Standalone Model if you are building an outdoor kitchen, island, or custom grill table. The ceramic feet are critical here to elevate the grill body and allow proper airflow beneath the base.

Planning a custom table or island? Review our Kamado Joe Cutout & Dimension Guide for exact enclosure clearance and countertop specs before cutting.

Shipping, Local Pickup & Moving Guidance

Whether you're local to North Texas or shopping nationwide, we offer flexible fulfillment options to get your Big Joe III safely home:

  • Local Showroom Pickup: If you're in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex or driving in from North Texas, picking up locally is a fast and easy way to be grilling the same day.
  • Nationwide Freight Delivery: For customers outside the DFW area, the Big Joe III ships nationwide via LTL Freight on a heavy-duty pallet with Liftgate Service included directly to your driveway or curb.

CGS Chariot - Ceramic Grill Mover

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

We created the CGS Chariot as a practical, safe way to move the grill. We won't move a Kamado Joe without it.

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