Description
The Kamado Joe Classic Joe Series I grill is the full-size kamado for families who want one charcoal cooker that can sear, roast, bake and smoke. Its 46cm grate feeds a family comfortably, and the cart with locking wheels lets you move it around the patio and park it safely.
Kamado Joe Classic Joe Series I Grill Features
Divide and Conquer cooking
The 2-tier Divide and Conquer system includes a rack, a pair of half grates and a pair of half deflectors. Set one side for direct searing and the other for gentle indirect heat, or stack food on two levels. It makes it easy to cook steak and vegetables, or ribs and bread, at the same time.
Steady heat from ceramic
As a ceramic kamado grill, its thick body and cast iron fire ring hold heat evenly. With the cast iron top vent you can hold a low smoking temperature or push it hot for pizza, across a range of 107°C to 398°C.
Less mess
The patented slide-out ash drawer collects ash under the fire, so you pull it out and empty it instead of scooping ash from the bottom of the grill.
Charcoal that goes further
Because the ceramic walls hold heat so well, a kamado needs less charcoal than a thin steel kettle for the same cook. Close the vents when you are done and the fire goes out, so leftover lumps can be used again next time. That makes long smoking sessions cheaper and simpler, even on a cold Cape winter evening.
Made to last
The cooking grates are 304 grade stainless steel. A built-in thermometer, powder coated hinge, folding side shelves with hanging points, a grill gripper and an ash tool are all included.
Is the Classic Joe I right for you?
The 46cm cooking surface suits four to eight people, and the grill measures 71 x 118.1 x 123 cm with the cart and shelves. At about 103 kg it is a patio fixture, not a travel grill. If you want the lighter-lifting Air Lift hinge and the Kontrol Tower vent, look at the Classic Joe Series II Standalone. Compare it with our other freestanding braais.

Classic Joe Series I FAQs
What can I cook on the Classic Joe I?
Nearly anything: steak and chops over high heat, roast chicken, pizza with a stone, and low and slow ribs or brisket using the heat deflectors. It works as a charcoal smoker, oven and grill in one.
How is it different from a normal kettle braai?
The ceramic shell holds heat far better than thin steel, so you use less charcoal and the temperature stays more stable. That makes long smoking sessions much easier.
