Shop BBQs by type

• Ceramic kamado grills: thick ceramic walls hold heat and moisture, so one grill can smoke low and slow, roast, bake pizza and sear. Kamado Joe’s range runs from the portable Joe Junior through the Classic Joe to the larger Big Joe.
• Digital kamado: the Konnected Joe lights the charcoal for you and holds the temperature you set, which you can control from an app.
• Steel kamado: Char-Griller’s Akorn uses an insulated steel body, so it is lighter than ceramic.
• Gravity-fed charcoal grills: Masterbuilt’s Gravity Series feeds charcoal from a hopper, and a digital fan keeps the temperature steady. The AutoIgnite Series lights the charcoal at the push of a button.
• Offset smokers and barrel grills: Char-Griller’s grills with a firebox at the side, which sends heat and smoke across the food for traditional smoking.

How to choose a barbecue

How you like to cook

If you want one grill that does everything, a kamado is hard to beat. Its sealed ceramic body holds a low temperature for hours and also reaches the high heat needed for pizza and steaks. If you want precise temperatures without adjusting vents, a digital grill manages the fire for you. If you love classic smoking, an offset smoker is the traditional choice.

Size

Think about how many people you usually cook for. Joe Junior is small enough to take away, Classic Joe suits most families, and Big Joe has space for big gatherings and large cuts.

Series

Kamado Joe’s Series 1, 2 and 3 are generations of the same grills, with later series adding refinements. Compare the features on each product page.

Standalone or on a cart

Standalone kamados are designed to sit in a table or an outdoor kitchen. Cart versions come on a wheeled stand, so you can move the grill around the garden.

Accessory packs

Kamado Joe sells grills with accessory packs, such as Discovery, Adventurer, Elements, Explorer, Quest and Voyager. Each pack bundles tools and cooking surfaces, and the contents are listed on the product page. Most packs are sold on their own too, if you already own the grill.

Accessories

You will also find half-moon grates, soapstones and griddles for split-level cooking, pizza stones and the DōJoe pizza dome, rotisserie kits, charcoal baskets, meat probes and heavy-duty covers. Stock up on lump charcoal and natural fire lighters at the same time.

Before you buy

• Pick the spot. Use the grill on a firm, level, non-combustible surface, well clear of fences, sheds and overhanging branches.
• Keep it outside. Never use a barbecue indoors or in a garage, tent or other enclosed space, because it gives off carbon monoxide.
• Plan the route. Ceramic grills are very heavy. Measure gates and paths, and work out how you will move it into place.
• Check for power. Digital and gravity-fed grills need an outdoor socket suitable for use in the garden.
• Protect it. A cover keeps the grill clean and dry between cooks.
