What hump?

Well, I found a photo....somewhere...that showed the Weber rotisserie on a Kettle Joe, so - asked and answered!

I've got my eye on this as a grill for my in-law's house in Florida. I had been thinking of something lighter (e.g. Akorn) because I'll need to schlep it from a screened patio to an outside sidewalk but this has a lot of appeal, not only because it's lighter than a kamado but also because of the larger cooking surface and the add-on SlōRoller. I also wonder if accessories made for the 22-inch Weber Kettle will fit this new Joe, such as the Hovergrill or the Rotisserie? And which ones are probably rendered moot by the design of the Kettle Joe, such as the Slow and Sear insert?

Smoking Dad BBQ has an unboxing and assembly video. No cooking yet, stay tuned.

Nice! It may have exploded so it could have dropped some pieces. Was there confirmation of an impact? oh, never mind. https://edmontonjournal.com/news/local-news/edmonton-weather-waking-up-to-a-lot-of-wind-oh-and-a-meteor

Yeah, i’m blaming the cheap grocery store charcoal. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

And here we go again. No longer relevant comment.

How open was the top vent? In my case it was darned near closed and I only made it 8 hours or so.

In that case the Classic 2 is the better Value. You’ll get the air lift hinge, new fire box, new gasket and the divide and conquer rack system. Plus any accessories you bought will still fit. if you plan to put the new Joe in your current table you may need to raise the grill to allow for the larger hinge.

And yup....most of my charcoal was gone, about 80% and I started with a fairly full basket. It was also cheap coal so that may have played a role.

I would upgrade to the Big Joe 2 to gain more horizontal cooking surface. The slo roller is a nice addition but i would trade that for surface area. I know it would cost more than your other stated options but not much more than the Classic 3. Of course if you want to repurpose your table then this may not work.
