The Kamado Joe Big Joe III Stand-Alone handles a long, slow smoke and a 400°C (750°F) sear on one 61cm ceramic grill, with three tiers of half-moon racks for cooking at different heights at once. It comes without a cart.
It grills, smokes, roasts and bakes on a 61cm stainless steel grate, 2,843 sq cm in total, from 107°C (225°F) for low-and-slow cooks to 400°C (750°F), with searing heat from 260°C (500°F). The three-tier Divide & Conquer system puts half-moon racks at three heights, so a roast and corn on the cob can cook gently up top while meat sears over the coals below.
The SloRoller insert uses cyclonic airflow to control heat and smoke, turning the grill into a smoker for long, slow cooks. Charcoal sits in a stainless steel basket that separates leftover fuel from the ash, ready for the next cook. The Kontrol Tower top vent, in powder-coated cast aluminium, adjusts two ways and holds its setting as the dome opens and closes. The Air Lift hinge takes much of the weight out of the dome, and a double-thick wire mesh fibreglass seal closes it airtight.
The Stand-Alone is the grill only, with no cart or side shelves. It is supplied with stainless steel cooking grates, the stainless steel charcoal basket, a multi-panel ceramic firebox, a stainless steel latch, a built-in thermometer and an ash tool.
