Know before you buy
No, this specific model (KJ-IHP13) is designed exclusively for the Kamado Joe Joe Jr. It is sized specifically to fit the dimensions of that portable grill.
The heat deflector allows you to cook with indirect heat, which is essential for baking, roasting, or slow-cooking larger cuts of meat. By blocking the direct flame, it prevents food from burning while ensuring even heat distribution.
Because it is made of ceramic, it is durable but can be fragile if dropped. Simply brush off any food debris once the grill has completely cooled; avoid using harsh soaps or soaking it in water, as the porous material can absorb liquids.
Yes, by positioning the deflector to cover only part of the grill grate, you can create both direct and indirect heat zones simultaneously. This allows you to sear a steak on one side while slow-cooking vegetables on the other.
No, this model does not feature a handle. You should always wait for the deflector to cool down completely before attempting to remove it from the grill.
