Common questions about Kamado Classic Joe™ BBQ Grill - Classic Series III
What does the SloRoller actually change?
It reshapes airflow inside the dome so smoke rolls over the food instead of running straight past it. In practice you get more smoke on the meat at 107°C and a gentler heat than a bare heat deflector gives. Take it out before you sear: it is a smoking insert.
Is the Series III worth it over the Series II?
If you smoke more than you grill, yes. The difference is the SloRoller and a third cooking tier, not more ceramic, and the grate area is the same 1,613 cm². If you mostly sear steaks and do pizza, the Series II gets you the same result.
Can I move it around the yard on my own?
On smooth concrete, with the wheel brakes released, yes. Over lawn, pavers or a step, no: 163.3 kg with a ceramic body is not something to tip or drag. Pick the spot once, allow the 3 m clearance the manual asks for, and leave it there.
