Know before you buy
The SloRoller uses cyclonic airflow technology to distribute smoke and heat more evenly than a standard heat deflector. This creates an ideal environment for low-and-slow smoking, resulting in better flavor infusion and reduced hot spots.
This multi-level rack system allows you to cook different foods at varying heights and temperatures simultaneously. By using half-moon heat deflectors and grates, you can sear a steak on one side while roasting vegetables on the other.
Not at all. The Air Lift Hinge significantly reduces the dome's weight, allowing you to lift it with minimal effort. It also stays in place wherever you position it, preventing the lid from slamming shut.
Yes, the Kontrol Tower is designed to maintain precise airflow regardless of external weather conditions. Because it is made of cast aluminum and features a rain-resistant design, you can adjust your temperature without worrying about moisture affecting your fire.
The JoeTisserie is a cast-aluminum ring that replaces your standard dome seal, allowing you to use a motorized spit rod. It is perfect for rotisserie-style cooking, such as whole chickens, prime rib, or pork loin, ensuring even browning and self-basting results.
The Big Joe features a deep firebox that holds a significant amount of lump charcoal, allowing for extended cook times of up to 12 hours or more without needing a refill. This makes it well-suited for long overnight smoking sessions.
