Bring authentic charcoal cooking to your backyard with the Kamado Joe Classic Joe II KJ23RHC, a premium ceramic charcoal BBQ designed for grilling, smoking, roasting and searing. With a 46 cm cooking area, two tier Divide & Conquer cooking system, Air Lift hinge and Kontrol Tower top vent, the Classic Joe II gives you impressive control over how you cook with charcoal.
Whether you are smoking brisket low and slow, roasting a whole chicken, grilling sausages for the family or searing steaks over intense charcoal heat, this kamado gives you the flexibility to tackle a huge range of BBQ favourites from one cooker.
🔥 Why Choose the Kamado Joe Classic Joe II?
The Classic Joe II combines the heat retaining properties of a ceramic kamado with practical features that make charcoal cooking easier to manage.
Instead of being limited to one cooking style, you can adjust the airflow and cooking configuration to suit different foods and temperatures. The two tier Divide & Conquer system provides additional flexibility, while the ceramic heat deflectors allow you to switch between direct and indirect cooking.
With an operating temperature range of approximately 107°C to 398°C, the Classic Joe II is equally at home handling a long smoking session or a high temperature steak cook.
💪 Built for Serious Charcoal BBQ Cooking
🏺 Premium Ceramic Construction
The ceramic body retains heat and creates the enclosed cooking environment kamado BBQs are known for. This makes the Classic Joe II suitable for maintaining low smoking temperatures as well as handling the high temperatures required for grilling and searing.
🔥 Authentic Charcoal Cooking
Cook directly over charcoal for the unmistakable BBQ flavour that comes from cooking over a real fire. Add your preferred smoking wood when you want to introduce additional smoky flavour to brisket, ribs, chicken, pork and more.
🌡️ 107°C to 398°C Temperature Range
Control the fire for low temperature smoking or open the airflow when you need considerably more heat for grilling and searing.
🥩 Grill, Smoke, Roast and Sear
One BBQ gives you the flexibility to tackle multiple cooking methods. Set it up for direct grilling, add the heat deflectors for indirect cooking or adjust the airflow for a long low temperature smoke.
🔄 Flexible Two Tier Cooking
🍖 Divide & Conquer Flexible Cooking System
The Classic Joe II features Kamado Joe's two tier Divide & Conquer cooking system, allowing the half circle cooking grates to sit at different heights within the BBQ.
🔥 Create Different Cooking Zones
Position your cooking surfaces at different levels to better manage how close your food sits to the charcoal. This gives you more control when preparing different ingredients during the same BBQ session.
🍗 Ceramic Heat Deflectors Included
The included half circle ceramic heat deflectors provide the ability to create indirect cooking zones, making the Classic Joe II suitable for roasting, smoking and other longer cooks.
📏 46 cm Cooking Area
The Classic Joe II provides a practical 46 cm cooking area, making it a versatile choice for regular family BBQs, weekend entertaining and longer smoking sessions without requiring the footprint of an oversized cooker.
🎯 Control Your Charcoal Fire
🌬️ Kontrol Tower Top Vent
The powder coated cast aluminium Kontrol Tower top vent lets you adjust airflow through the kamado to help manage cooking temperature. Its design allows it to maintain its setting when the dome is opened and closed.
🌡️ Built In Temperature Gauge
Keep an eye on the temperature inside the cooking chamber using the large dome mounted thermometer without unnecessarily opening the BBQ.
🔒 Wire Mesh Fibreglass Gasket
The double thick wire mesh fibreglass gasket creates a tight seal between the dome and base, helping you manage airflow through the cooking chamber.
🙌 Easier Dome Operation
⬆️ Air Lift Hinge
Ceramic kamado lids can be heavy. Kamado Joe's Air Lift hinge significantly reduces the effort required to lift the dome, making the Classic Joe II easier to open and control during cooking.
🔐 Stainless Steel Latch
The stainless steel latch helps secure the dome against the gasket when closed, supporting the sealed cooking environment required for controlled kamado cooking.
🧱 AMP Firebox
The Advanced Multi Panel Firebox uses a multi piece ceramic design inside the BBQ to contain the charcoal fire while dealing with the high temperatures generated during kamado cooking.
🧹 Easier Charcoal Cleanup
🗑️ Patented Slide Out Ash Drawer
Cleaning up after charcoal cooking is made easier with the integrated slide out ash drawer. Rather than trying to scoop loose ash from the bottom of the kamado, accumulated ash can be directed towards the drawer for removal.
🧹 Ash Tool Included
An ash tool is supplied to help move ash through the lower section of the BBQ and assist with routine cleaning.
🚛 Practical Backyard Setup
🛞 Rolling Cart with Locking Wheels
At approximately 103.3 kg, the Classic Joe II is a substantial ceramic BBQ. The supplied cart provides a stable platform while its locking wheels make repositioning the BBQ around your outdoor cooking area more convenient.
🍽️ Folding Powder Coated Steel Side Shelves
Two folding side shelves provide useful space for trays, utensils, seasonings and ingredients while cooking. Fold them down when the additional preparation space is not required.
