Big Joe II Cooking System & Features

Core Features Included

• 450 sq. in. Primary Surface: 24" diameter heavy-duty stainless cooking grids
• 2-Tier Divide & Conquer System: Multi-level direct and indirect cooking flexibility
• Air Lift Hinge: Reduces dome weight significantly for easier opening and closing
• Kontrol Tower Top Vent: Maintain precise airflow settings through rain and dome openings
• AMP Firebox & Ash Drawer: Multi-panel ceramic design to reduce stresses and paired with a patented slide-out ash drawer for easy cleanup

Is the Big Joe II Right for You?

Compared to the Classic Joe II, the 24" Big Joe II provides 80% more cooking area (450 sq. inches vs 250 sq. inches). It is built for cooks who regularly smoke whole briskets, multiple pork shoulders, or want ample space for two-zone cooking.

If you want a dependable kamado with serious capacity and simple operation, the Big Joe II offers exceptional value.

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.

Pro Tip: You can convert a Cart model for built-in installation by removing the side shelves, but ceramic feet are still required under the base for airflow and clearance.

CGS Chariot - Ceramic Grill Mover

At over 375 lbs., moving a Big Joe II 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.
