EssentialFirelighters
Wood-wool lighters rather than fluid or chemical cubes. Lighter fluid is something you taste for the first hour, and in a kamado that flavour sits in the ceramic where it does not come out again.

When the Big Joe Konnected Joe drops
Kamados drop hardest at the end of the barbecue season and around Black Friday. Leave your email address and pick below what you want to hear about.
The Big Joe Konnected Joe is Kamado Joe’s digital kamado at its largest size: a 61 centimetre grate, where the ordinary Konnected Joe sits at the Classic’s 45.7 centimetres. A button lights the charcoal with an element inside the kamado, and a fan holds the temperature you set on the control panel or in the Kamado Joe app.
Around that is what you know from a Big Joe: the Divide & Conquer grate on two levels, two ceramic heat deflectors, the Kontrol Tower as its top vent and a slide-out ash drawer. A meat probe is included, and it stands on a steel cart with wheels and folding aluminium side shelves.
Kamado Joe gives 155 kilos and an upper limit of 371 degrees, a little below the 398 it states for the Big Joe III. Anyone who would rather work the vents themselves can, according to Kamado Joe, also use it in Classic mode as an ordinary kamado.
Who it suits: Anyone cooking for large groups who wants long cooks without adjusting the vents all the time.

RecommendedLooftlighter
Blows superheated air at the charcoal instead of holding a flame to it. You aim it at one spot, that spot starts glowing, and that decides where your fire begins.

Measuring
RecommendedMeat thermometer
The gauge in the lid measures the air at the top of the dome, not the meat and not the grate. For anything taking more than an hour, core temperature is the only number that counts.

Protection
RecommendedCover 21–25 inch
For the XL sizes, which rarely fit under anything and therefore stand outside all year. Roomy enough to fall over a stand with side shelves.

Protection
RecommendedHeat-resistant gloves
Leather with a Kevlar lining, for opening a hot dome or shifting a grate. A cotton oven mitt is not built for that.

Maintenance
RecommendedAsh tool
Ash in the base blocks the bottom vent, and a kamado that gets no air holds no temperature. A hook that reaches the back of the firebox is the difference between two minutes of work and half a teardown.

Every bag fits every kamado. What differs is the order: bags the maker sells as restaurant grade or large pieces come first, because large lumps let air through the stack and fines smother themselves.
Sold as restaurant grade, which for charcoal is mostly about piece size: large lumps let air through the stack rather than packing down.
- White quebracho
- Lump charcoal
- Large pieces
Kamado Joe’s own charcoal, sold on piece size, and the name is the pitch. The bag holds 9.07 kilos, which is twenty American pounds.
- Not stated on the bag
- Lump charcoal
- Large pieces
Marabu with a long burn, and an alternative to the other marabu here. Useful when that one is out of stock, since availability shifts weekly.
- Marabu
- Lump charcoal
Quebracho from South America, the same wood as the Legua and The Bastard’s Paraguay bag, beside the same brand’s marabu. Which of the three quebrachos you pick, the price per kilo decides.
