 He'll look back to the fire and water cooking channel and check it out Got me a new toy to play with Gonna do a quick little unboxing here. I don't know how quick it'll be but My new Kamado Joe classic to ceramic grill This is how it comes if you order one online Through Atlantic Grill Company They will ship it to your house on a pallet very Sturdy box. This is wood top and bottom strapped down really stable so there's very little Way this could actually break unless somebody shoves You know some forks through it, which I have heard people done Let's check out what this box is right here first Think I know this is probably the Yep, this is my Kamado Joe hat. Look at that We'll wear that brand new love that And The brand new just came out this year Kamado Joe Stainless steel charcoal basket that hooks right into the divide and conquer system Very good. What's that box? I think I know what this box is Kamado Joe also has a couple different cooking surfaces you can buy extra cast iron griddle cast iron grate And this is actually One of their specialty This is a soapstone. So this is kind of like a slab of granite as it actually soapstone which is Very good at holding heat Doesn't hold any germs in it or anything. So this is something that Only come out of Joe has Soapstone does a lot of anything you can cook on a griddle You can cook on the soapstone better All right guys, that's for the two little boxes So I'm gonna go ahead and take a minute and pop these open, but I'm not gonna Bore you with all the filming of that. So I'll be right guys. I got all the straps cut First thing is just to remove this top So this is all solid wood so it's very Very stable shipping. I'm gonna take a look at how this comes in the box So if you guys are ever worried about That breaking during shipping This box is very heavy corrugated Cardboard very thick. It's got a lot of Insulation there. So that's how it comes in the box. You got everything all in one here. You got your cart shelves all the All the grates and everything are inside the dome So you got your little protector here for your top of your dome Kind of look down in there. You can see that the cart's kind of upside down there All right, that's how it comes. I'm gonna go ahead and start well guys I got everything out of the inside of the grill So now I can start kind of taking this out putting it on the Put it on the cart so I can wheel it back to my patio My son came home. I was able to put it on the cart, which is really easy. All you do is take all the plastic off the cart Flip it over there's one piece that that bottom ring In cases the bottom of the commado that needs to get Attached and it just screws on Tightens up and that's it and you place it right in the In the cart the two front wheels are lockable big metal wheels and So it doesn't go anywhere once you get it locked in place And now we're ready to start assembling it. So I'm going to move it just a little bit closer here I'm going to start putting this together. One of the things you're going to notice on the commado joeus does have a really big Dome thermometer. This is actually you know can be calibrated, but it's a nice big Um thermometer here This latch holds the Lid down and one of the reasons it needs this latch It's because with this airlift hinge There's no weight from the lid to hold it against the big thick oven like Gasket here. This is a wire mesh Gasket it's a new to this classic two model. It's on the top in the bottom And if you see this airlift hinge, there's I can do it with a one finger and it stays up So it needs that latch to hold it in place. So it doesn't come pop and open let an air in what you're cooking. So Lock this down So that's one of the good things about the grills there They said this is uh compared to big green egg or even the older joes This gasket is a real big upgrade. So it shouldn't need replacing For two or three years at the most You know, maybe even longer the other felt type gasket was uh, they would Need replacing every couple years auto joes all come with a removable ash tray So you don't have to take an ash tool and scrape stuff out or suck it out with a vacuum You just pull this ash tray out and it comes out I'm going to wait to put this in So actually put the bottom in And like I said before This comes with the new amp firebox Which just means that It's multi multi piece and um It won't break one of the biggest issues with the big green eggs and Kamado grill in general and the kamado joes Is that the firebox would crack after a couple of years from the intense heat all the time but um kamado joe solved that by Creating this firebox That's in multiple pieces So you don't have any kind of stress To uh for it to crack So i'm going to set this up and i'll get the pedals out put the um Ash tray in there and if you can see that And these are kind of loose in there because they need to be secured By this big metal ring and if you see this this is where your Um rack for your divide and conquer goes and you kind of want to line them up To your front back and your sides So when you put this in kind of want those lined up so you can adjust your grates and uh In a way that it's lined up Left right front back so And what you do with these these are going to become you spaced apart you just kind of Lightly pull them together They don't have to be totally together Because they won't be they don't fit tight up against each other But you want this ring really tight because what'll happen if you don't have this ring really tight and all the way down up against those um pedals Is it when the grill gets really hot this can warp So you want to make sure that you get this All the way down and if you see that that's the way it goes. That's your amp firebox and Probably will not ever break Um, I've had one in my big joe now for about two years and no cracks whatsoever Works perfect. So like I said, you just want to make sure that you got these Little grooves lined up on the sides and in the front and the back so that when you uh want to put your Grates in there and your divide and conquer rack that it fits in there right and that's all we have for the amp firebox Okay, guys before I get into The divide and conquer system that comes with the kamata joe grills I'm going to show you what normally would come with this Grill is a cast iron Great for your charcoal that would fit in the bottom down here And what that would do is make sure your hot coals stayed up here in the firebox And that your ash would fall down into the ash tray Some of your hot coals will get down there, but this keeps most of your hot coals up here in the firebox And this is what would come standard with the grill. This is what comes with all of them but Kamado Joe has now Came out with a Stainless steel charcoal basket that also has A divider in it you can use with a rotisserie And then make these for both sizes of the kamata joe and these actually Lock into the divide and conquer system And what that does is it gives you a lot more airflow here for your charcoal But it also makes it where you can actually pick the whole divide and conquer system up And shake the ash off Instead of having to go in there and scrape it around with a ash tool So it makes it really convenient gets better airflow. So it's a little bit easier to um Control the temperature of the grill that way But it really plays a role. I have the um Joe tisserie rotisserie that i'm going to be using with this And this divider actually helps it where you can actually just have charcoal In one side of your charcoal basket and leave the other one open So that you're just you have direct heat on one side and uh, no heat on the other and you can actually turn this around To have it face, you know, either front or back or left or right So you can actually turn this any which way you want to I'm going to probably use it mostly like this because i'm going to be using it for the rotisserie And i want my fire in the back here with the rotisserie catching it on one side So that's something new for the kamado joe. That's an accessory. You can buy that separate does not come with it but um They're only i think maybe 70 80 bucks for the classic size And for the big joe i think it's 125 or so But it's well worth it real heavy gauge stainless steel the bottom great It's really thick stainless And um, they should last a long time So now i'm going to show you what the divide and conquer system is that comes with all the uh Come out of joe grills One of the first things That comes i'm going to take to show you is This is the divide and conquer rack And this will fit you'll see right in here And you can see where those hooks from that charcoal grate Or charcoal basket Lock right into place and i can pick that whole basket this whole piece up as one And you can see where those little grooves On the Ring metal ring here for the firebox sit And it all sits right In place there And what this allows you to do this whole rack Let's you adjust Half moon grates Your heat deflector have a half two half moon heat deflectors That you can put one on each side you can use them both if you're going to cook Indirect for the whole grill or you can have direct heat on one side and indirect on the other You have your Grates You have one great on top And one great on the bottom So that So you can have different levels of heat so you can cook closer to the flame on the bottom and click Farther away from the heat on the other So this is how the divide and conquer is Much better than what comes standard on a big green egg Because you can actually have multiple levels of cooking you can have indirect direct In so many different options and it all comes with the grill there's also Another ring here that can give you actually more options so you can actually Set the ring here on the top and Actually have more space you can set your deflector plates on here you put a pizza stone on here You can put a wok on here a pot of cast iron You can put a cast iron pot in here to make chili I mean, this is the accessory rack and that all comes with the divide and conquer system. So That's pretty cool And that's all the internals of this particular grill. I'm going to go ahead Take out the other heat deflector just so you can see it So that's what your divide and conquer system is Pretty much multiple cooking surfaces multiple levels of heat indirect direct all in one so That's how innovative the kamado chips the last things that we're going to add is our side shells and if you see here They are heavy-duty really thick high density plastic And they just clip right on Put it on to the side here And then you can stay on there You can take them out Just let them drop But once they're on They're pretty stable These are heat resistant. I would not put You know super hot pans pots Grilled grates stuff like that on them You know they will take if it's moderately warm, but I wouldn't put you know something that comes out of here That's 900 degrees on this because they will melt Both fall down on the sides And that's it. I mean that's your whole package. You got the Cart with the wheels You got your air lift hinge, which makes this lid very very light and very Easy it stays in place if you ever need to adjust it There's this one screw that will adjust it because every once in a while this might Start to sag a little bit because it needs adjusting but your divide and conquer system racks your multi-piece amp firebox And there's just one more thing That kamado joe Came out with for this particular model. It is the top vent And if you look at this it's actually cast aluminum And it's got little marks here to kind of give you a guide on how to set your temperature If you're doing a low and slow you want to kind of keep it closed most of the way You're doing a hot and fast. You can open it up But this little top here keeps the rain out. So if you've got it On a patio where it's not covered and it's out in the rain Um, you don't have to worry about the rain getting into your grill and cooling off your fire Now the old kamado joes and the big green eggs still have the um It's a date like a little daisy wheel at the top And when it's open it's it's exposed. They can get rain in there and stuff. So They're the old fashioned cast iron Big bulky and a lot of times what will happen on those is when you lift your lid the Hinge on the cast iron. Well, we'll move the top of the The top of your Vent so it you got to readjust it every time you open and close the lid Well, this one will stay in place No matter what you do So you don't have to worry about it, you know opening and closing and moving every time you open the lid So that's another innovation of the kamado joe that I absolutely love. So That's it guys. I think That's pretty much all it does come with a ash tool Um, if you need one and it does come with a grill gripper cast iron grill gripper if you need to um Get your grill grate off and it's hot and you don't want to use a Some gloves you can just grab your grill grate So it comes with a set of these and it comes with an ash tool that you really don't need, you know with the ash tool you can With the ash tool you can move your Kohl's around to get the ash down into the ash pan, but with the new Basket there. You really don't need that anymore. So that's it guys. Uh, that's my first look Unboxing putting together of the kamado joe classic 2 I hope you guys got something out of this. It's a really Awesome grill. So I have the older big joe model.
