Know before you buy
The 2-tier system allows you to cook different foods at varying heights and temperatures simultaneously. By using different surfaces, you can sear a steak on one level while roasting vegetables on another.
The grill features a slide-out ash drawer that makes cleanup straightforward. Instead of scooping ash from the bottom of the firebox, you simply pull the drawer out and empty it once the charcoal has cooled.
Yes, the ceramic construction provides excellent heat retention and insulation. You can easily maintain low temperatures for smoking or open the vents to reach searing temperatures up to 750°F.
Yes, the bundle includes a weather-resistant cover designed specifically for the Classic Joe I. While it protects against rain and debris, we recommend keeping the grill in a sheltered area or on a covered patio to extend the life of the ceramic and hardware.
The grill offers 250 square inches of cooking space. This is generally enough to cook a full meal for a family of four to six people, such as a whole chicken, a large brisket, or several burgers at once.
The Classic Joe I weighs 231.5 pounds, so it is quite substantial. It sits on a sturdy cart with wheels, but due to its weight and ceramic build, it is best positioned in a permanent spot rather than moved frequently.
