Big Green Egg Medium or Kamado Joe Classic II?

What actually differs between the Big Green Egg Medium and the Kamado Joe Classic II, and what that means for how you cook.

What differs

  • The Medium is €30.00 cheaper.
  • This is the decision that matters: the Medium is a medium, the Classic II a large. Buy the size you will use, not the size that impresses.
  • Both ceramic.
  • Mind what you get: the Medium is supplied without a stand, the Classic II is supplied complete with a stand. A separate stand costs two to four hundred euros, and in this comparison that often matters more than the price gap.
  • The Classic II’s grate is 5,7 centimetres larger in diameter.
