Looking for a compact and efficient way to regulate your grill temperature? Toying with the idea of buying the branded Kamado Joe iKamand? If so, we recommend checking out the Flame Boss 500 first.
Much easier and more intuitive to use, we think the Flame Boss is far superior to the iKamand.
The Flame Boss 500 uses the latest technology to ensure you have the ultimate control over your grilling. You can view graphs of your grilling stats via the online dashboard and monitor both your pit and meat temperatures from your smartphone.
Need to change the temperature? The Flame Boss allows you to do this remotely. Want to be notified when your meat is cooked?

Specially designed for the Kamado Joe, this branded cover is a perfect fit. It’s easy to put on and take off, and its quick-connect straps hold it in place no matter how windy it gets.
The top handle is solidly attached and the cover is shaped to protect your entire grill from the elements. It’s so well-designed, it won’t even fade in strong sunlight.
We think this cover is an absolute must-have for any proud Kamado Joe owner. Ideal for protecting your investment and extending your grill’s lifespan, as well as keeping it looking sparkling new for every use.
6. Kamado Joe Lump Charcoal
Of course, you don’t need to buy branded charcoal. But if you’re shopping around for lump charcoal and are looking for a premium option, then we think the Kamado Joe version makes a great choice.
Branded as the “world’s largest”, the Kamado Joe Big Block XL Charcoal burns for up to an incredible 18 hours – perfect for your weekend Boston butt grilling marathons. Made from a blend of high-quality hardwoods, this charcoal is reusable up to three times, making it great value for money.
With a long burn time that’s steady and reliable, we love that this superior lump charcoal is 100% natural and it definitely gets our seal of approval.
7. Reversible Griddle
Cooking for a crowd? Or maybe you’re planning to grill several different foods that all require different durations and temperatures? If so, you need to get yourself one of these reversible cast iron griddles.
Specially designed for use with the Kamado Joe Classic, this half-moon griddle allows you to stagger the placement of your grates and griddles for optimum use of space.
