Kamado Joe Joe Jr. or The Bastard Compact Urban?

What actually differs between the Kamado Joe Joe Jr. and the The Bastard Compact Urban, and what that means for how you cook.

What differs

  • The Joe Jr. is €180.00 cheaper.
  • Both a compact: cooking surface is not what you are choosing between here.
  • Both ceramic.
  • Mind what you get: the Joe Jr. is a tabletop model and has no stand, the Compact Urban 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.
