Kamado Joe Classic II charcoal grill

The benchmark of kamado grills
The Kamado Joe Classic II charcoal grill is one of the best in its class. Made from extra-thick ceramic that retains heat exceptionally well and reaches very high temperatures, it is also extremely durable. Kamado Joe offers a lifetime warranty on the ceramic parts. The firebox is built from separate segments, giving the ceramic room to expand and protecting it from cracking.
With the Air Hinge system, the lid lifts easily and stays in place, and it can be locked when closed for maximum temperature stability.

Unmatched versatility
This grill is truly versatile and suited to all kinds of cooking. The two-tier Divide & Conquer® cooking system lets you prepare food at different heights and temperatures – from low-and-slow barbecue to burgers, steaks or pizzas at high heat. Its tight seal keeps moisture inside so your food does not dry out.

Easy to use
The included two-piece ceramic heat deflector lets you choose between direct and indirect heat. Two vents – one on top and one at the bottom – give you precise temperature control, and the clearly visible thermometer built into the lid helps you keep track. Ashes are easily removed with the scoop at the bottom of the grill.

Frequently asked questions:

1. Can it only be used with charcoal?
Yes – the Classic Joe II works only with natural lump charcoal.

2. Does it work without the lid closed?
You can cook with the lid open for a short time, but for temperature stability it is better to keep it closed – the Kontrol Tower™ is used for control.

3. How do I clean out the ashes?
Remove them using the pull-out ash draw after about every 2–3 cooks – this maintains optimal airflow.

4. How does the Classic II differ from the Classic I?
The Classic II has the Kontrol Tower™, Air Lift™ hinge, AMP Firebox™ and ash draw – the I series does not have these.

5. Can it be used in winter?
The ceramic construction retains heat very well, and the sturdy gasket and vents help control the temperature in cold weather.

6. Is it compatible with an electric rotisserie?
Yes, the model is compatible with the JoeTisserie™ rotisserie system (sold separately).
