Big Joe III Standalone

Cart-free version of the Big Joe III 24-inch kamado grill with the 3-Tier Divide & Conquer system and included SloRoller insert, built for outdoor-kitchen installation.

$3,000Approx. MSRP

Best for a beginner building a permanent outdoor kitchen who wants top-of-the-line Big Joe performance without Kamado Joe's own cart.

Pros

  • Gets the SloRoller and 3-tier Divide & Conquer of the Big Joe III at a lower price by skipping the cart
  • Large 24" capacity for entertaining
  • Fits cleanly into a custom outdoor kitchen island build
  • Built to last (ceramic)
  • Ceramic holds heat and moisture — grill, smoke or bake

Watch-outs

  • No included storage/shelves
  • Same ash-pan and thermometer quirks as the cart version
  • Very heavy and hard to reposition without wheels once installed
  • Heavy (405 lb) — pick its spot and leave it

Known niggles

  • Ash pan jams against the tapered base when full
  • Dome thermometer inaccurate until calibrated
  • Kontrol Tower vent can gum up with soot and need a hot burn-off to clean
