Know before you buy
The Kamado Joe Grill Expander is designed to fit most 18-inch and 23-inch round charcoal grills. As long as your grill grate diameter matches these standard sizes, the split-foot design should provide a stable base.
This accessory increases your total cooking surface area by up to 60%. By adding a second tier, you can effectively cook more food simultaneously without needing a larger grill.
The 4-inch clearance is specifically designed for smaller items like vegetables, chicken wings, or delicate fish fillets. It is not intended for large roasts or whole turkeys, which require more vertical headspace.
Yes, the grill expander is fully dishwasher safe. Its durable construction allows for easy cleanup after you are finished cooking.
Because the rack sits 4 inches above your primary grate, food on the top level will be exposed to slightly less direct heat. This makes it an excellent tool for finishing delicate items or keeping food warm while the rest of your meal cooks below.
