It’s a distinctive red iconic grill that will impress in itself, draw looks and comments from friends. It’s built to last, and every aspect of this grill is well thought out and effective. The most notable feature of the Kamado Joe Big Joe II is undoubtedly the bright red, egg shaped ceramic cooking chamber.
