Breen Lyden 0 Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Hey guys, I had my KJ Big Joe III at 600 degrees for about an hour to clean it and realized my sloroller had a max temp of 500! Is it ruined? it looks like the black finish came off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
len440 354 Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Don't know for sure but probably not It's kind of hard to hurt metal it might be warped a little but i think you cooked off the finish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jtemple 34 Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 If it's not warped or anything, you could look into cerakoting it. They have high heat applications used on exhaust systems, etc. Your grill would melt before the coating would. https://www.cerakote.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure it probably gave someone cancer in California. Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

prowe 1,792 Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 I have no slo roller. So maybe I'm not someone who should throw an opinion out there, but why do you want a black finish on a chunk of metal that sits on top of a fire? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It’s coated in Teflon which becomes unsafe around 600f Quote Link to post Share on other sites
len440 354 Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 I've seen some difference of opinion as to what the slo roller is coated with My opinion is that in this day and age of lets sue everyone for anything ( aka Mc Donald's hot crotch coffee incident)i can't believe any one would put Teflon on something that is going to get supper hot . Might be high temp paint better than Teflon(?) or some kind of powder coating. I've never seen one so this is just $0.02 worth. But no mater what's on it ENOY the grill Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Daver 8 Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 So I asked KJ and they said there was no Teflon on sloroller. I agree with the if it isn’t warped badly don’t worry about the finish, it is for the showroom floor. No finish won’t alter your cook. The finish comes off on all of them eventually, mines coming off after a handful of low temp cooks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
len440 354 Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Just for curiosity have anyone measured the slo-roller metal vrs the dome temp during a slow cook? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder why all the BBQ retailers have the same text which says its coated in teflon? https://www.bbqguys.com/kamado-joe/slo-roller-hyperbolic-insert-for-24-inch-big-joe-grills-bj-hyper Enhance your smoking and grilling capability with the SloRoller Hyperbolic Insert for Kamado Joe Big Joe III series kamados. The SloRoller hyperbolic insert fits inside your kamado in place of a heat deflector and is constructed of Teflon coated cast aluminum offering incredible durability. The hyperbolic design of this insert allows smoke and heat to be distributed through the kamado in rolling and recirculating waves resulting in enhanced flavor and fewer hot spots inside the kamado. Developed at Harvard, this product provides 20 times more smoke circulation than standard heat deflectors, increases air flow for a cleaner burn, and is engineered to slow cook from 150 - 500 degrees Fahrenheit. This hyperbolic insert will fit all Kamado Joe Big Joe III series kamados. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have often thought the exact same thing but I assumed that their temp warning contemplated this as well. I was doing wings at 425F with the SloRoller and figured the metal had to be at least 100F hotter but I have nothing scientific to back that up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
