Tom, did you keep this? I just bought the kettle Joe a few days ago. Something I discovered is that when you lower or raise the lid, you should close the lid, let it set even/flush, then tighten the knob. Also, the entire stainless steel lower damper wasn’t flush with the body, so I removed it, added gasket along all four sides, screw to screw (I didn’t want sticky residue on the stainless part, so put on black part of grill). Even though the top damper cap has some play, it still puts out the coals much faster now. Some on Reddit also suggest getting rid of the ash collector all together.
Thanks for Watching! I finally did get rid of it. Sounds like you are making it work, Enjoy!
Thanks. I had gaskets on hand, and talked Lowes into $225 plus tax. I couldn’t get $200 like others, but I’m happy.
I was gifted a KJ3 Classic to replace my aging Akorn last month. The KJ3 has the SloRoller, which is three pieces and I can tell you it does a much better job of smoking. Roasts, ribs, beer can chicken, all came out with a nice kiss of smoke and more importantly, JUICER! The KJ3 has "divide and conquer" system which gives multiple levels on both sides. The KJ kettle seems like a nice blend of two worlds, kettle and kamado. Time will tell but I can attest to the fact that my cooks are better on the KJ3 than they were on the Akorn. My son-in-law had an Akorn (same one) and now has a KJ3 Classic. He sayd the same thing. After your diffuser mods to the Weber kettle, I bet you won't see much difference between that and the KJ Kettle. You are just ahead of your time! Love your vids. Keep 'em coming.
Thanks for Watching Tom! I appreciate the kind words! We will see what it can do! Enjoy your Easter weekend!
Thanks Tom! I appreciate you Watching and commenting! Have a great Easter weekend!
Tom, you continue to do a great job.
You are one of the guys that we trust!
Thanks again for all you do.
Thanks Terry! I appreciate the kind words! Thank you
This is great to see from you as there is no biased opinion. I’ve watched a couple videos on this grill but don’t trust the opinions or reviews given due to the fact they already have Kamado Joes and this grill was given to them from Kamado Joe. I’ve been thinking of buying this kettle, so I look forward to seeing your answer to that through your videos. Thanks Tom, and have a Happy Easter
Thanks Paul! No holding back here,,, ask any question, anytime! Time will tell and we will see with new grill technology! Thanks again for Watching!
Two things that are unfair in life. This came out after I found my kettle performer and I can only give you one thumbs up 👍. Great job Tom
Thanks Paul! I appreciate you Watching!
I am glad Tom has the money to test these grills out. I think WEBER is finally seeing some real competition as we are seeing some real innovation in charcoal cooking. I think those one half grills will fit in a dishwasher which to me will be a great improvement. Most ladies don't ever think the grill surface is ever clean enough. Me, well 350 to 400 degrees will kill any germ. Thanks Tom, looking forward to a cook. No more than I cook the old WEBER will do just fine.
Thanks for Watching Fred! Enjoy the Easter weekend!
Very cool new grill. Can’t wait to see how it performs.
Thanks for Watching Michael! Me too!
Tom went Hyperbolic on us! 😆
Really neat cooker, can't wait to see it in action. 😉
Thanks! Yes I did! I Think.... Time will tell! Thanks again for Watching!
That slow roller by itself is a good way to make your 22 kettle I to a quasi WSM. I’ve been using a 19 inch pizza pan as a water pan/deflector but you still have to be careful as there is a lot of radiant heat coming from that pan and any hot spots under can really affect your meat so you have to keep rotating specially at 300-325. This slow roller looks like it would solve that hotspot issue and allow full use of the grate as well.
Thanks for Watching! Good observations,,,
Great walk through on the kettle Joe hyperbaric Thingy. Lol looking forward on seeing how it works on a slow cook
Thanks Louis! As am I! Happy Easter!
Great walk through Tom! I have a KJ Big Joe, so interested to see the next video! Cheers!
Thanks Jack! I agree!
Hi Tom, I came across your channel a couple of years ago and have been following you ever since, I must say it's one of the most informative and enjoyable channels to watch. Really like the look of this new grill and looking forward to your first cook.......Best wishes.......Doug from the U.K.
Thanks for Watching, commenting and supporting Doug!
Oh no... you have too many (not really) NEW grills and I am feeling overwhelmed for you! There are simply not enough hours in the day to cook on all of them as often as I'm sure you'd like!
I saw this kettle a couple of weeks back for the first time, and I was super intrigued by the "SloRoller" like you. Can't wait to see the first smoke/cook!
Thanks for Watching! It can be overwhelming, but after awhile you get used to it.....I can’t wait to use it myself!
Anxious to see how it cooks for you, Tom. I have a Kamado Joe Big Joe and love it.
Thanks for Watching! Me too! Can’t wait!
Cool looking Kamado/Kettle. I'm a former Kamado style griller and have always had my eye on the Kamado Joe due to their quality products. Looking forward to some performance videos on this. Great video Tom as always!!!
Thanks ! Can’t wait to what it can do! I appreciate you Watching and commenting
Great video. Thank you for taking the time to make it.
Thanks for Watching! I appreciate you Watching and commenting!
Nice looking gear. My wife would kick me out the house
Thanks for Watching Carl!
Great video Tom! Congrats on the new grill!! I can't wait to see your first cook on that Bad Boy!! Have a great weekend Brother!!
👍🔥😎
Thanks for Watching ! Have a great Easter weekend!
I looked into ordering one.. then.. ordered something else... but almost. Can't wait to see you go through it.
Thanks for Watching! I’m really excited to see what it can really do! I appreciate you Watching and supporting! Happy Easter! Enjoy!
Great video, really looking forward to see this in action. Low and slow and hot and fast!
Thanks for Watching Stacy! Me too! Can’t wait to use it!
Great review! Really looking forward to seeing how long a load of fuel lasts in one of these on a low and slow cook given it's not double walled.
Thanks Sean! Time will tell..
Great review Tom. We're alike in that we appreciate good engineering. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for Watching Dave! Yes, hyperbolic... who’d a thunk...
Should have mine end of the week can't wait.
Thanks for Watching David! Congrats on the new Grill!
Nice addition, looking forward to seeing it in action!
Thanks! I appreciate you Watching!
I may still end up with this grill at some point but if I didn't own the Weber Summit I'd definitely have jumped on this without question. Already I have too many grills and the wife is starting to notice.. only so many places in the garage you can hide grills before they start overflowing amirite?... In a previous video I called your grills, "landfill of grills" because once you get an offset you may never look back. Still saying you should get one. :p
Can't wait to see your first cook and how it does.
Thanks Brad! I appreciate you Watching and commenting!
Nice slow rolling design. I'm looking forward to your comparisons with the kettle.
Thanks for Watching! You will see it!
Great review Tom! Appreciate it. Can't wait to see how these things perform! -N
Thanks for Watching! Happy Easter!
Nice review Tom. Can’t wait to see you cook on it.
Yes you will! Thanks for Watching!
Hey Tom. Nice overview. How else are you going to mod the grill? Probe port? Smoke hole? 😜. So I have the BJ3 and on that grill you use the nubs on the divine and conquer rack as stops between the two half moons. Holds them in place better than how I think you had it in the vid. Helps when brushing.
Thanks for Watching! I appreciate the feedback and tips!
Enamel coating not ceramic. The “bricks” are the ceramic part.
Nice grill in any case.
Great video thanks 😀😀
Thanks for Watching Eric! It is enamel, similar to a Weber kettle, however there is ceramic fire brick on the inside as shown in the video! Have a great weekend!
@@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ it’s a good looking grill. I’m curious to see how it performs.
My guess is it will be very good.
You have the nicest clean well cared for grills ever.💪😀
As am I Eric! Thanks again for Watching!
Looking forward to see your first cook on that kettle it looks well made 💪
Thanks for Watching Ben! This will be interesting...
Hi Tom will the kettle joe charcoal grate assembly fit in the Weber?
Thanks for watching! Good question! I’ll be doing a video labeled questions asked questions answered on the Kettle Joe today, I’ll add your question to the list. Thank you!
Very interesting pit Tom and you certainly got my attention!
Thanks Tommy! Have a great Easter!
Very nice grill you got there! Thanks for the product review 👍 What are you planning to cook first on it? How about a massive Tomahawk? Cheers from Finland!
Thanks for watching! Already did a chuck roast, turned out great!
Are you going to use the 1 1/8 wide felt gasket or the fiberglass gasket? I've never bought gasket before and I like the idea of putting on mine when it arrives to make sure it has a nice seal all the way around.
Thanks for Watching Thomas!, I will use the felt gasket
Nice review! What is that middle section accessory on the black kettle to the left towards the end? 13:40-ish? Thanks
Thanks for Watching! That a Weber rotisserie for a Weber 22” kettle
Great review, Tom, gotta get tat kettle...look forward to some cook videos...I Think they make a pellet Joe also?
Thanks for Watching Robert! Yes they do
What are your feelings in this vs the Char Griller Akorn?
Thanks for Watching Nathan! They both work just fine. Although from a price point it’s no contest Akorn all the way
Just curious if there is a way to use a "slow n sear" with this grill. It seems like there would not be enough room.
Thanks for Watching! We will be looking at that! Keep on watching!
Sir, I enjoyed your video.
How much does it weigh?
Thanks for Watching Carlos! 130 pounds
Great video, Tom! My #1 question: I’m a collector of all things Slow N Sear. Will a SNS insert fit in this grill?
Thanks for Watching! Interesting question.. it will fit somewhere in this grill, just not sure if it will perform well. We’ll need to look into that.
Did Kamato Joe sponsor you or did you purchase this? Good Review kettle best deal going. Ill bet blind taste test you couldn’t tell difference. Now you have to put it too the test.
Thanks for Watching John! I wish they sent it! No I purchased $500.00 of my own
Hey Tom! When I read "Hyperbolic" I said I gotta watch this! Watched every second and I can't wait to see you put it to the Tom Horseman test!
I like the Stainless charcoal basket and the individual leafs of brick or what ever they are. 😁 I'm with you, I'm interested in seeing the slow roller
on a regular 22 kettle. Maybe just a gimmick?..... but maybe there is something to this wizardry? I'll watch and see what your thoughts are.
Great Vid......Love seeing what these companies are doing to try and sell us the Better MouseTrap! LOL \🔥/
Thanks Ken! All I thought was the, Slow Roller on your 22” pellet grill! Oh man! Time will tell... Have a great Easter weekend!
Hyperbolic is the new BBQ Ken! Thanks for Watching
Maybe? I guess It's creating a slight disturbance in the airflow. But enough that makes a difference in the taste of backyard BBQ???
Maybe?.....maybe not. But we love our gadgets and spending our hard earned money. I think I want one. 😁 \🔥/
It’s just Crazy! Ken! I can’t wait! Hard to sleep at night knowing what I got in the garage...!!!
That looks cool! Have fun smoking with it!
Thanks Aaron! It’s going to be awesome!
Think I'm a get one!!👍
Thanks for Watching!
Very interesting, been planning on turning my 26” Kettle into a Kamado type of cooker. Going to use the charcoal ring from a 22” WSM with a couple of pizza plates. Love to know your opinion on how you would go about turning the 26” into a kamado cooker. Thanks Tom
Thanks for Watching! 26” is the issue... lots of options for the 22” not for for the 26”. Have you looked at SNS?
@@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ not recently, It does have the slow and sear and it is awesome. Also the entire grill can be used, with the slow and sear some 30% is taking up by it.
Thanks for Watching and commenting! I agree
Will the slow ‘n sear fit in this? Can you try it for us? Thanks!
Thanks for Watching! Yes I will,
For $500 you would think they would check to make sure that no smoke can get out Sounds to me like it's overpriced
Thanks for Watching Russell!
I'll stick with John Setzler....
Ok…. Thanks for Watching
good job tom nice vid
Thanks Christopher! I appreciate you Watching! Happy Easter!
What are the dimensions of the SlowRoller ?
Thanks for watching 22” x 4.5” in height
@@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ thank you very much :D
This has my interest :)
Thanks for Watching! Happy Easter!
I'm very curious. It seems like the slo roller helps for better bark formation according to other reviews I've seen.
Question for me, is does do a good enough job to replace my performer with SNS
Thanks for Watching! Time will tell.. keep on watching!
Right off the hop, seems to be over complicating the cook. I look forward to seeing cooks on this thing and being proven wrong. :-)
Me too! It just seem like something that I’ve never heard of before! Thanks for Watching! Time will tell on this one!
Probably the direction that Weber shoulda went instead of that stupid pellet grill
Thanks for Watching Randall! I agree!
@@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ that pellet grill is actually pretty awesome. I love mine. It is fussy and makes you grind your teeth sometimes, but still a great pellet grill.
Good to know! Thanks for Watching!
