Grill Guru Original Compact or Kamado Joe Joe Jr.?

What actually differs between the Grill Guru Original Compact and the Kamado Joe Joe Jr., and what that means for how you cook.

What differs

  • The Original Compact is €31.00 cheaper.
  • Both a compact: cooking surface is not what you are choosing between here.
  • Both ceramic.
  • Mind what you get: the Original Compact is supplied complete with a stand, the Joe Jr. is a tabletop model and has no stand. A separate stand costs two to four hundred euros, and in this comparison that often matters more than the price gap.
  • The Joe Jr.’s grate is 1,3 centimetres larger in diameter.
