Description
For big cook-ups where smoke flavour matters, the Kamado Joe Big Joe III sits at the top of the range. It takes the 61 cm Big Joe ceramic body and adds every Series III upgrade: the SlōRoller insert, a three-tier grate system, a stainless charcoal basket and a heavy-duty cart. A full brisket and sides for the whole family is well within its reach.
Kamado Joe Big Joe III Features
Built to smoke
The SlōRoller hyperbolic insert sends heat and smoke around the dome in rolling waves, removing hot spots and deepening flavour. In smoking mode it runs up to about 148.5°C, perfect for low-and-slow cooks that last all afternoon.
Three levels on a big grate
The 61 cm grate gives about 2,903 square centimetres of maximum cooking space, and the three-tier Divide and Conquer system adds more levels on top, so you can smoke, roast and sear at different heights.
Handling and control
The Air Lift hinge makes the large dome easy to lift. The Kontrol Tower vent covers about 107°C to 399°C and holds its setting when you open the lid. A double-thick wire mesh gasket and stainless latch keep the seal tight, and the stainless steel charcoal basket helps airflow and makes it easy to separate ash from charcoal you can reuse.
Is the Big Joe Series III the right choice?
Pick it if you entertain often and smoke a lot. It weighs 221 kg and measures 91 x 148.5 x 136.5 cm on its powder-coated steel cart with storage shelf, locking wheels and folding aluminium side shelves. If you need less space, the Classic III gives the same features on a smaller grate. See the full Kamado Joe range and our freestanding braai collection.

Big Joe III FAQs
What is the SlōRoller insert on the Big Joe III?
It is a shaped ceramic insert that sits above the coals and moves heat and smoke in rolling currents. It evens out the temperature across the grate and gives food a deeper smoked flavour at lower temperatures.
Big Joe II or Big Joe III, which should I buy?
Both use the 61 cm grate, Air Lift hinge and Kontrol Tower vent. The Series III adds the SlōRoller, three-tier cooking, a charcoal basket and a sturdier cart, so it suits keen smokers.
