Kamado Joe

Classic Joe III Standalone

Cart-free version of the Classic Joe III 18-inch kamado grill with the 3-Tier Divide & Conquer system and included SloRoller insert, built for outdoor-kitchen installation.

$2,000Approx. MSRP

Ideal for a beginner building a permanent outdoor kitchen island who doesn't need Kamado Joe's own cart, but skip it if you want a ready-to-roll grill with built-in shelves.

Pros

  • Gets the SloRoller and 3-tier Divide & Conquer performance of the Classic III at a lower price by dropping the cart
  • Easier to fit into an existing outdoor kitchen counter or custom stand
  • Same large cooking capacity as the cart version
  • Built to last (ceramic)
  • Ceramic holds heat and moisture — grill, smoke or bake

Watch-outs

  • No side shelves/storage included, so you'll need your own surround
  • Same ash pan and thermometer quirks as the standard III
  • Without the official cart, moving it later is harder since it's not on wheels
  • Tight cooking area (250 sq in) — small batches

Known niggles

  • Ash pan jams against the tapered base when full
  • Dome thermometer inaccurate out of the box, needs calibration
  • Kontrol Tower vent coating can gum up and require periodic high-heat burn-off
