Joe Jr. Overview
BIG FLAVOR ANYWHERE YOU GO
Thanks to its size and portability, the Kamado Joe Jr. makes
premium grilling possible just about anywhere. This miniature
version of the Kamado Joe Classic grill is fully capable of
grilling, smoking, roasting and baking. Enjoy the same wood-
fired flavor at home or on the road—convenient carry handles
make it easy to bring the Joe Jr. along for tailgating, lake trips
and more.
BUILDING ON THE FUNDAMENTALS
All the fundamentals and techniques of
kamado grilling already discussed apply
to the Joe Jr., with a few exceptions
in configurations. The Kamado Joe Jr.
does not include the Divide & Conquer
®
Flexible Cooking System or the Slide-
Out Ash Drawer. The Joe Jr. comes
with a standard rack, single-piece heat
deflector and single-piece grill grate.
A The Kamado Joe Jr. can be
configured for direct grilling by placing
the grill grate directly on top of the fire
ring.
B The Kamado Joe Jr. can be
configured for indirect cooking,
smoking, roasting and baking by
installing the heat deflector on the
lower position of the rack and the grill
grate in the top position.

ASSEMBLY
Grill Set-Up
UNBOXING YOUR GRILL
1 Cut the plastic bands and remove the top and side panels of
the shipping container.
2 Lift off the top piece of the grill cart and remove the plastic
from the top of the grill.
3 Open the dome of the grill and remove the components from
the inside of the grill. Handle the internal ceramic parts with care .
KAMADO JOE GRILL WITH CART
1 Once the internal components of the grill have been removed,
lift the grill out of the container and set it aside. Due to the weight
of this grill, we highly recommend two people perform this task.
Do NOT lift the grill by the side shelf tabs. Use the rear hinge
and the front lower vent opening as lifting points.
2 Remove the plastic wrapping from the base of the grill cart.
3 Lock the casters on the bottom portion of the grill cart.
Assemble the two pieces of the grill cart with the provided
stainless steel screws. You will find these screws attached with
tape and plastic on the bottom portion of the cart.
4 With the same lifting technique used previously, lift the grill
into the cart. Adjust the grill in the cart so the lower grill vent is
facing the front of the cart. The front side of the cart is the side
with the two locking casters.
STAND-ALONE GRILL WITH KAMADO TABLE
1 Place the three grill feet on the bottom shelf of the grill table to
form a triangle with the single point being at the back side of the
grill table. The other two feet should be placed just to the left and
right of the lower vent on the front side of the grill.
2 Gently place the grill into the table and adjust the feet. Handle
the grill with care to avoid damaging the grill table surface. We
recommend that two people lift the grill into the table.
