Kamado Joe KJ13RH Joe Jr Charcoal Grill, Blaze Red

Product Information

There are lots of ways to light up your charcoal. We, however, recommend one of these three methods for the most efficient and safest start-up: Looftlighter or Electric Starter

Even though it’s the smallest among all the KJ models, don’t let the size fool you. It can turn out amazing foods as its bigger brothers, but at one third of the price. You won’t be disappointed if you decide to buy this bee’s knees little beast. A chimney starter is a cylinder of metal with a handle on one side, and a grate about three-quarters of the way down on the inside. You fill the large side of the cylinder with charcoal and stuff the small, bottom section with newspaper and set the whole thing down on a fireproof surface.The two grills function the same. You adjust the temperature using the top and bottom vents. The food also comes out the same. Price-wise, the Minimax is more expensive than the Kamado Joe Jr. On the inside, the two grills feature the same components: ceramic fire box, ceramic fire ring, cast iron fire grate (or charcoal grate), and stainless steel cooking grid. Even though the Minimax is more expensive than the Joe Jr, both grills are of high quality and great workmanship. Big Green Egg and Kamado Joe are also well-known companies in the grilling industry. Therefore, their resale value is quite high compared to other low-priced kamados. Differences Assembly As you probably know by now, you can move this grill around with ease thanks to the two side handles attached to the stand. At 68 lbs, one person can handle the weight. But we’d recommend two people if you’re moving it long distance (like down to the boat or something). Besides, ceramic is fragile so you always want to be cautious here.

The brands of both the kamado joe jr and big green egg offer similar kinds of warranty offers for their customers. They are as follows:

Due to its high quality parts and material, the Kamado Joe Jr commands a higher price. Thus higher resale value if you’re planning to sell it later on. Rather like a high-end sedan or sports car runs best when you fill up with premium gas, your Kamado is designed for optimal performance when you load it with lumpwood charcoal.
