A kamado is a ceramic charcoal barbecue with a lid that allows you to control the temperature precisely by regulating the air intake and outlet. Ceramic retains heat very well, so you can use the same barbecue to grill over a high heat, cook at a low temperature or smoke food.
The Kamado Joe Classic Joe I pack includes the barbecue with trolley, seven accessories and two bags of Big Block XL charcoal, each weighing 9.07 kg. It’s a comprehensive way to get started with your first kamado: from day one, you can cook on two levels, roast whole cuts on a rotisserie, grill smashburgers, prepare fish and vegetables, and protect the barbecue when not in use.
During this Black Friday promotion, the bundle is available at a 15 per cent discount on the total price of the individual products, subject to the promotion’s terms and conditions.

46 cm Classic Joe I kamado barbecue with trolley
The Classic Joe I is Kamado Joe’s 46 cm ceramic kamado barbecue. Its body and lid maintain a stable cooking environment, allowing you to alternate between high-temperature grilling, roasting and slow cooking using the same charcoal barbecue.
You control the heat using the top cast-iron regulator and the bottom air inlet: the more oxygen reaches the embers, the more intense the combustion. The built-in thermometer shows you the internal temperature, whilst the trolley with lockable wheels and the folding side tables provide a practical space for preparing and serving food.
Divide & Conquer System
The two-tier Divide & Conquer system uses half-moon-shaped grates that you can position at different heights. This allows you to decide how close each food item is to the embers: for example, meat closer to the heat and vegetables on the upper level.
It also forms the basis for the half-moon-shaped surfaces in the pack (reversible griddle, fish and vegetable rack, and soapstone), which you can swap around depending on the menu without changing the barbecue.
JoeTisserie for roasting chicken and meat
The JoeTisserie rotisserie converts the Classic Joe I into a rotisserie for whole cuts of meat. The spit keeps the meat rotating, so that all sides are continuously exposed to the heat and you don’t have to turn it by hand.
The spit and forks are made of stainless steel and the electric motor runs on 240 V. Its wedge-shaped ring fits into the opening of the kamado, so the lid can be closed whilst roasting to retain heat and smoke. It’s ideal for whole chicken, pork or roasts with a golden finish. Bear in mind, however, that it requires a power socket and you should secure the food properly before you start.
Reversible cast-iron griddle for smashburgers
The half-moon cast-iron griddle is reversible: one smooth side for smashburgers and foods that require direct contact with a continuous surface, and a ribbed side for searing.
Cast iron accumulates and retains heat very well, making it an excellent surface for searing meat and cooking ingredients that would otherwise fall through the bars of a grill. It fits into the Divide & Conquer system and is a great option if you want your first kamado to double as an outdoor griddle.
Grill for cooking fish and vegetables in the kamado
The half-moon grill for fish and vegetables is made from 304 stainless steel and features laser-cut grooves that provide better support for delicate foods.
Its design prevents pieces of vegetable from falling through the gaps and reduces the risk of fish fillets sticking or breaking when lifted. It’s the alternative to a griddle when you prefer your food to be exposed to direct heat from the grill and retain that authentic charcoal-grilled flavour.
Soapstone half-moon, natural stone cooking surface
The soapstone half-moon is a natural stone surface that distributes heat evenly. Food rests directly on a solid slab, rather than on a metal grid.
It works very well with fish, vegetables and cuts of meat that you want to cook with constant thermal contact. It also helps to reduce the flare-ups caused by fat dripping onto the embers. Whilst the cast-iron griddle stands out for its double-sided design, soapstone expands the options for contact cooking within the same half-moon system.
Stainless steel charcoal basket
The stainless steel charcoal basket organises the fuel within the combustion chamber. It allows air to flow between the pieces and separates out small particles, promoting cleaner combustion.
Its divider allows you to distribute the charcoal load across different zones to experiment with the heat. And when the kamado has cooled completely, it helps you separate the ash from the reusable charcoal: maintenance between sessions is easier and you make better use of the fuel.
Big Block XL charcoal, 2 bags of 9.07 kg
The pack includes two bags of Big Block XL charcoal, each weighing 9.07 kg. These are large chunks of 100% natural hardwood charcoal, designed for charcoal grilling at both high temperatures and for slow cooking.
The size of the pieces promotes prolonged burning, which is very useful for learning how to keep the kamado alight during a long barbecue. Any pieces that have not been used up can be reused, provided they are completely extinguished and cool. Together with the basket, you have everything you need to manage the embers right from your first few sessions, without having to buy the first two bags separately.
LED handle for cooking at night
When cooking goes on until dusk, the LED-lit handle directly illuminates the cooking surface. It replaces the kamado’s conventional handle and directs the light onto the grates, exactly where you need to see how the food is cooking.
It has two brightness settings and a built-in button, and runs on four AA batteries (not included), so you don’t need a power socket. This means you can hold your tongs and handle the food without relying on a torch. When you’ve finished cooking, switch off the light and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Cover for Classic Joe I with trolley
The Classic Joe I cover with trolley protects your barbecue on days when you’re not using it. Its snug fit adapts to the kamado and shields it from rain, wind and sun whilst in storage.
It is made from water-resistant polyester that is resistant to UV-induced fading, so the kamado can be left covered on the terrace, in the garden or in the outdoor kitchen. Put it on once the barbecue has completely cooled down and is no longer hot.
