Boasting the same meticulous craftsmanship as the rest of the Kamado Joe BBQs, the Kamado Joe Classic takes it up a notch with its flexible cooking surfaces and innovative features, providing an exceptional cooking experience for BBQ connoisseurs.

Having an 18” diameter grill should be limiting, but the clever engineers at Kamado Joe have found ways to max out on versatility. Being versatile is not the same as being easy. There’s a lot you can do with a Kamado, but if you’re used to more conventional grilling, there is going to be a learning period while you master all the nuances of the equipment. There's no escaping the fact that you're going to need some muscle to move this BBQ. Hand grips are also few and far between, with one person having to lift from the very low fire grate at the base. With the rust-resistant latch, there’s no guessing whether the lid is down or not.

But, if the answer is “yes” then that usually means it’s time for an equipment upgrade. Style –Kamado Joe is proud to draw on the long standing kamado tradition, modernizing the grill’s classic style with unparalleled craftsmanship. While other kamado grills expect you to awkwardly sweep out ash that collects beneath the fire box, our Classic, Big Joe and Stand-Alone models integrate a first-of-its-kind drawer that takes the hassles and mess out of emptying your ash. Kamado grills are versatile, designed for multiple cooking methods. Accessories like the ceramic heat deflector turn a direct grill into an indirect cooker. Firebox dividers can create two cooking zones. With the right accessories and setup, a kamado grill can bake, roast, smoke, sear, saute, grill, and much more. Something more has also changed inside. The Classic 2 had a grated plate at the bottom of the grill on which the charcoal lays. That works fine as long as you don’t have too many small pieces of charcoal on it. This clogs the small holes and causes poor air circulation.
