Kamado Joe Classic 3 Walk Around and Boston Butt Cook

The Kamado Joe Classic 3 arrived this week so I wanted to take a moment to show you the grill and give some comparisons to the Classic 2. I also broke the grill in by cooking a 10 pound Boston Butt...

I like that KJ is always innovating. Some others in this market are standing still.

I'm not sold on this new technology yet, but I do like the additional capacity you can now get with this new design. Now I can fit my logs in there without splitting them up so small. Plus 3 levels lets me use a drip pan, and 2 additional levels of food. I can see 6-8 racks of ribs getting on a classic now. That's good.

How do you maintain 250 degrees, or any temperature for that long without constant monitoring??

[getoutandgrill]

Really like the new model. These grills work great and efficient.

[tyoglesby]

Have y’all considered creating a device/tool to make it easier to get the firebox “petals” aligned for ease of placing the top fire ring? Especially for a one person assembly? And will you be doing a cook with the SlōRoller without it being protected by a pan or foil

[borys]

Slow roller??? Looks like another think that I will have to clean.

[MrJoshcc]

So the "slow roller" just replaces the ceramic heat deflectors? Don't see the purpose. Also hope all these upgrades are compatable with older models these kamados are supposed to be a lifetime investment, love the aluminum side racks i melted my plastic ones a bit right on my 1st cook !!

If I have classic 2 version and I have charcoal basket so I don’t need Cast iron fire grade and I can take it out and so control temperature better ?

[alexd.]

What impacts do these changes have on the price? Can we expect the Classic II to go on sale much like the Classic I's keep popping up on sale at Lowes? (in Canada)

[Quick_Car_Videos]

Can you add a drip pan above the slowroller and under the pork if wanted?

[davidbuurma]

Can u take the slow roller and 3 tier divide and conquer and use in a classic 2 grill?

[CV]

Can the KJ Grill Expander fit on top with the slow roller in place? IE, is there room for the lid to shut?

[dimbulb]

Can you use briquettes in the kJ III? Wouldn’t the basket enable this?

[fjtrevino]

Did you have to load more charcoal during those 14 hours? Or a single load of charcoal on the KJ lasts that long or even more?

[tommyroberts]

Have you tried putting the wood chunks under your lump? Several top cooks say you get better smoke.

[joewestphale]

How do ya add charcoal for a long cook? Too many pieces of grill to deal with.

[TurboTH]

Do the Half Moon heat deflectors come with buying the grill or are they an option? Thanks

[MFraze]

Anyone know what kind of gloves John is wearing?

[josevega]

Dude your video is tha sickest I've seen! I'm sold on tha kamado joe

[talezfromthedashcam]

John is the slo-roller available for the classic 2?

[johnjayala]

Great video, excellent detail. Thank you!
