Know before you buy
Yes, the grill is designed for portability, though it weighs 31 kg (77.2 lbs). While it is compact enough to fit in most vehicles, you will likely need two people to lift it safely.
Absolutely. The Joe Jr. is a standalone ceramic grill that can be placed on a sturdy, heat-resistant surface. The cart is an optional accessory included in this set to provide a more comfortable working height and extra prep space.
The 923 cm² (150 sq in) cooking surface is ideal for smaller meals, such as a whole chicken, a few burgers, or a couple of steaks. It is best suited for couples or small families rather than large gatherings.
Temperature is controlled by adjusting the cast iron top vent and the bottom air intake. Because of the thick-walled ceramic construction, the grill retains heat exceptionally well, making it easy to maintain steady temperatures for both searing and slow-roasting.
Yes, the powder-coated steel cart requires assembly upon arrival. All necessary hardware is included, and the process is straightforward with basic household tools.
While the stainless steel grate is durable, we recommend hand-washing it with a grill brush or mild soap and water. Ceramic grills are best maintained by burning off residue at high heat and brushing the grate clean before your next cook.
