The short version

The flagship of the Kamado Joe line. 24-inch cooking surface, three-tier Divide & Conquer, and the SlōRoller smoke chamber that makes long low-and-slow cooks genuinely better. If money is no object and you cook a lot of barbecue for a lot of people, this is the answer.

What makes it the flagship

You're getting Big Joe scale plus Classic III tech. The three-tier rack at 24 inches is a different animal — you can run a brisket, a tray of sausages and an indirect-roasted side at three heights simultaneously. The SlōRoller pays off most on cooks longer than 6 hours.

Pros

Cons

Who should buy it

Owners who want one cooker for life and cook competitive-style barbecue regularly. For everyone else, the Big Joe II hits 90% of the experience for meaningfully less.
