8 Best Kamado Joe Accessories – Everything You Need for Your Grill and More!

You can easily prepare chicken, spit roast, or gyros yourself with the ingenious JOEtisserie. The JOEtisserie set has a solid square skewer with a load capacity of up to 22.5 kg and also quickly adjustable forks to perfectly attach the roast to the skewer. The constant turning movement of the skewer ensures that the roast juice that escapes remains on the grilled food and evaporates there. The flavors stay on the meat, and a delicious crust is created.

The Kamado Joe JOEtisserie® is a 240V accessory that is suitable for Big Joe. The product consists of a cast aluminum ring, a motor with a power plug, a stainless-steel skewer, including two forks. It’s great for pampering your guests with great grill specialties from the skewer. You’ll also enjoy the simple and ingenious handling of the JOEtisserie. The set is suitable for the Kamado Big Joe.

Why are we impressed?
• This great accessory for your Kamado Joe brings variety to the grill and impress with their precisely fitting workmanship and particularly high-quality and durable materials. The airtight cast aluminum ring is only placed on the boiler and, thanks to its special wedge shape, enables the Kamado lid to be closed so that less heat escapes.

What negatives must you be aware of?
• It's not completely airtight when used. There is small air leakage. Also, it won't be compatible with the Kamado Professional S Series. However, it fits the extra-large Big Green Egg.

With the Kamado Joe DoJoe extension set, you can transform your Kamado Joe Classic ceramic grill into a real stone oven. The DoJoe is made of cast aluminum, and thanks to the special, wedge-shaped construction, the lid of the Classic can be closed perfectly while sitting. There is a wide opening on the front so that the pizza (or, of course, tarte flambée or other delicacies) can be conveniently pushed onto the pizza stone in the cooking space and removed again.

The Kamado DoJoe Classic is a good accessory for making the perfect pizza. The high temperatures inside the Kamado Joe are ideal for baking the pizza. Of course, the DoJoe fits the Kamado Joe Classic models I, II, and III.

Why did it make our list?
• We liked that it offers a crispy base with a perfectly cooked topping - in combination with the fine smoky taste of the charcoal. With this, you can make a unique pizza that is in no way inferior to the Italian original. Thanks to its wedge shape, you can maintain the temperature of around 400°F to 700°F effortlessly.

What is not ideal about it?
• It is not closable, and it wastes the extra charcoals that are leftover. We wish one could push the Kamado to more than 700 degrees with this accessory to have a feeling of a wood-burning oven.

You can expand your Kamado Joe Big Joe with the iKamand into a temperature-controlled precision grill. Thanks to the WLAN connection and app control on your mobile phone, you always have an overview of the temperatures of your grilled food.  Depending on the desired temperature, the integrated fan blows the right amount of air into the embers of the grill. In this way, the temperature remains constant at the value you want.

The iKamand is designed for use in classic Kamado grills. With the Kamado Joe iKamand grill control, gone are the days when you had to regularly supervise your grill when doing long jobs – just look at your smartphone. The iKamand is simply integrated into your existing WLAN and connects to the Internet via this. You can do the rest with the app, which is available for Android and iOS.  However, the app is not only your control center for monitoring temperatures. It also offers a recipe library with hundreds of recipes that contain step-by-step instructions and, as a special feature, synchronize directly with the iKamand and control the grill appropriately.

Why is it special?
• The iKamand gives you full control. We liked that you can connect up to 4 temperature probes to the iKamand controller. There are a core temperature and one grill chamber sensor. So you always have the perfect overview, even with larger grill jobs. We also liked that the components of the iKamand are weatherproof. That is why all metal parts are made of stainless steel. The sockets have cover caps so that no water can penetrate.

What are the flaws?
• We think the accessory could be more reliable. Also, the Kamado Joe is limited by the accessory's low-temperature capacity. The low temperature cooks too slowly for some users.

This Kamado Joe accessory is a basket that makes the cleaning of your firebox a breeze after cooking. It’s made of 304 stainless steel, is corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, and durable. You can insert or remove the charcoal basket quickly and easily. For grilling with two temperature zones, the charcoal basket has a charcoal divider so that you can work with direct heat on just one side. The other half then offers indirect heat.

The Kamado Joe charcoal basket fits into the Big Joe charcoal grill and makes handling and grilling on the Big Joe easier. The charcoal container is designed so that it can be connected to the bottom of the flexible Divide & Conquer cooking system. It will work with the KJ Sloroller.

What stands out?
• With the Kamado Joe charcoal basket, we liked how it is even easier to clean the combustion chamber after grilling. You can separate the leftover charcoal from your ashes easily, quickly, and cleanly and the next barbecue session can start in no time. It saves time and your charcoal.

What cons did we manage to find?
• A handle could be built on the charcoal basket to make it easy to handle when hot.

This classic heat deflector is made from ceramic and comes in a set of two. It’s designed to block heat and create heat zones in your Kamado Joe grill. The two half-moon deflector stones for your Classic Joe provide an indirect grill area and are individually placed and combined in the cooking rack.

The “Divide & Conquer” cooking system from Kamado Joe offers countless possibilities for simultaneous grilling with different temperature zones and different grilling methods, thanks to the semicircular inserts in the cooking rack of your Kamado Joe. It’s suitable for Kamado Big Joe Divide and Conquer with a flexible cooking system.

What are its best features?
• We liked how easy it is with this accessory to create an indirect grilling zone for your roasts. Also, you can use a stainless-steel grill plate above the deflector stone to gently cook vegetables or seafood. All inserts from the "Divide & Conquer" cooking system are shared. This means that they can be easily combined and ensure maximum flexibility in your Kamado Joe. You can use it under a pizza stone. It cooks better this way.

What could be improved?
• It could be bigger. It's not compatible with the Big Joe Kamado. It is too small for the Big Joe.

The Kamado Joe Big Block XL charcoal is advertised as a product with extremely large pieces of charcoal. It’s a natural lump charcoal product derived from hardwood.  These consist of an exclusive mixture of three types of hardwood with a very high density and are extensively charred in traditional outdoor ovens in Argentina. This process, according to Kamado Joe, creates the world’s largest and finest charcoal, which burns longer, cleaner and better.

The charcoals are supposed to last for up to 18 hours. They are derived from hardwoods such as the Guayacan, Mistal, Guayaibi, and the White Quebracho, all from Southern America.

Why are we impressed?
• First, we liked that it consists of 100 percent hardwood that can burn cleanly for several hours. If all the charcoal has not been used up after grilling, it can be used a second, up to a third time after it has been extinguished. In the ceramic grill, you can do this simply by closing the air supply.

What negatives must you be aware of?
• We think the product is a bit overpriced. Also, contrary to what is advertised, a couple of users found small lumps in the bag and these burned out faster than they should. A few users say 1/3 or up to half of the content contains smaller lumps.

The Kamado Joe grate lifter can be used to move any grill grate. It measures 4.5 x 7.5 x 1.5 inches and is made of 304 stainless steel. Coming with a one-year warranty, the accessory is supposed to be durable and has a hanging hook for convenience. This accessory proves to be particularly practical when using your Kamado Joe ceramic grill. You can use the handle to lift the grate effortlessly with just one hand to remove it from the grill or to adjust its height.

With the Kamado Joe grate lifter made of stainless steel, you have the grill grate safely under control. Lift the hot grate, adjust it or add coal – there is no problem with the long-lasting grill tongs! The accessory is suitable for Kamado Joe grill grates.

What makes it stand out?
• This Kamado Joe grate lifter ensures effortless lifting of the grill grates to be able to add coal if necessary or to swap grates. It's suitable for cooking grids and inserts from Kamado Joe.

Which disadvantages must you keep in mind?
• The construction is not too reliable for heavy use. If you would need to use it to grab grill pans, we cannot vouch for its resistance to bending. Asides from this, it is well-made and has a good feel.

This Kamado Joe Fire Starter is designed to help you start a fire easier. It lights effortlessly even when wet, and it burns up to 1300 Fahrenheit.

What makes it stand out?
• This fire starter is a foolproof way of starting your grill. It makes starting the grill fire effortless. It can fire grills that are wet, is odorless, and produces no smoke. Also, it is sold for a very low price. It's reliable and quite easy to use.

Which disadvantages must you keep in mind?
• Although we didn't see anything to criticize with this fire starter, we discovered some buyers who reported that they might have gotten an authentic model which had odd off smells and made their barbecues smell bad. Some described the smell as diesel-like, wax, or chemical. However, more than 90 percent of the buyers liked what they got.
