Kamado Joe Joe Jr. Maintenance Guide

Kamado Joe Joe Jr.

The Joe Jr. (model KJ13RH): a 13.5 inch (34 cm) ceramic charcoal grill on a round-bar stand with two carry loops. Kamado Joe gives it as 505 mm wide and 691 mm high on the stand and 37.4 kg (82.5 lb); its 2014 spec sheet said 30.8 kg (68 lb), and Kamado Joe does not explain the difference. Against the bigger Classic it has a cast-iron top vent with a swinging cap and a turning disc, a plain hinge with two open springs, a felt gasket, a one-piece firebox with a ceramic ring, and one hinged round grate over one round deflector. It has no latch, no ash drawer and no cart.

Everything follows Kamado Joe's Joe Jr. manual (the February 2024 edition first, then the 2020 and 2021 editions where they add detail). Kamado Joe publishes no Joe Jr. maintenance video, sheet or support page, so where a step comes from its Classic material, Kamado Joe Europe's dealer notes, retailers or owners, the step says so. Hinge and band work needs Kamado Joe's holding hardware and two people.
