A grill, smoker and oven in one

With a simple adjustment of airflow and heat baffles, the Classic III can be reconfigured for grilling, smoking, baking or roasting without the need for separate equipment or lengthy setup changes. Combining natural lumps of charcoal with precise airflow control, you can set any temperature and maintain it for hours, whether it's a quick, high-heat sear or a 12-hour low-temperature sear.

SlōRoller Hyperbolic smoke chamber

The Classic III's hallmark is the SlōRoller, a patented insert based on Harvard combustion research. Its hourglass shape redirects airflow so smoke and heat wrap evenly around the food instead of rising straight up. This increases smoke circulation, reduces hot spots and produces a cleaner burn with a more intense wood flavor than a traditional kamado setup.

Designed for longevity

Durability features include an air-lift hinge for a smoother, more controlled lid opening, a Kontrol Tower top vent for weather-resistant airflow control, a self-activating stainless steel latch, a wire mesh fiberglass seal and a multi-part firebox. The Classic III comes partially assembled and is backed by a Kamado Joe Limited Lifetime Warranty on ceramic parts and a 5-year warranty on metal components.
