An ancient, Asian-style grill, the kamado is a thick-walled cooker that imparts rich, smoky flavor to meats, fish and vegetables. Relatively unchanged for centuries, air flows through the grill’s ceramic body and out its vented dome, chunk charcoal comes to life as smoke and heat. Kamado Joe is proud to draw on that tradition, modernizing the grill’s classic style with unparalleled craftsmanship, innovative accessories and a range of flexible cooking surfaces. The Kamado Joe Classic II includes new innovation, featuring a thick-walled, heat-resistant shell that locks in smoke and moisture at any temperature. Smoke at 225F with precise temperature Kontrol using our Kontrol Tower Top Vent or ramp up the fire to 750F and sear with direct charcoal flavored heat on the 2-Tier Divide & Conquer grill system. The Kamado Joe Classic II Charcoal Grill is compatible with a robust range of Kamado Joe accessories and grilling surfaces providing you premium results for any type of grilling or smoking that it is called upon.
