Awesome awesome video! I just got a kettle Joe and love it, but noticed when the top vent is off I can see light when the grill is closed. Have a gasket on its way now.
Thank you so much and glad it was helpful. Look forward to hearing what you think.
@@BartlowsBBQ will do
@@BartlowsBBQ the reason I found this video is because it was taking forever to snuff out coals after closing all air sources off, somehow air was still getting into the grill. After looking around the inside from the top, it's quite of bit of space for the air to get through. 👍🏼
@@BartlowsBBQ so I added the gasket, it still leaks in the front right section only slightly. However I'm able to regulate temps and shut down the grill better now. I just have a problem with screws and nuts coming loose as well as the ash trap always getting stuck. Is there some kind of aftermarket piece that's better than the one shipped with the kettle Joe?
@@MrEmpirestate714 I got the pre-production model. I was hoping the screws and bolts would be better. I ended up finding some at hardware store to replace. I haven't fold a good solution on the ash drawer but wish KJ would make one like the classic. I did test my classic ash drawer fits in kettle but handle sticks out.
Hey Hey, I know that guy! Thanks for the thermometer tip!
😀Thanks Kevin!
Great minds think alike, I am doing the exact same mod to my Joe. Thanks for showing the way Scott
That's awesome! Thanks, James. Always appreciate sharing our best practices with each other! Appreciate you my friend!
Less hate, more love, great BBQ! I don't have this grill yet, but I've been looking at them and this video will be helpful at such time!
That's great to hear and it's a great smoker especially for the price point!
Simple, straight forward fixes. Nice👍😊
Thanks, Bobbi!
Great video, thank you. Have you ever thought of raising this maybe by putting blocks between the wheels and the legs?
Thank you! Haven't thought of that but good idea.
Thank you for the video. I have also noticed that when I close my top vent it still leaks smoke. Any idea what to do about that?
Thank you, glad it was helpful! You can try to use some high heat silicone but otherwise you probably be just fine.
Good job! I would think that you could cut off a small piece of that gasket material and poke the thermometer stem through it to seal the leak around the stem (you might have to start the hole with an ice pick or knife.) Were you covering that casserole dish to protect the thermometer from the direct burner heat? Leaving it cracked open would allow the steam to more easily escape from the dish. A hand held hair dryer might work too.
Thank you so much. What a great suggestion and idea on gasket material for thermometer. Yeah, my main thought was i didn't want to have direct heat from burner on thermometer just as an extra layer of protection. I could see a hair dryer potentially working too. I appreciate you watching and sharing!
I wasn’t able to get a big Joe three so I’m just gonna get one of these it’s the best of both worlds and a fire board 2 controller mods for life
The Kettle Joe is a great option editor the price. Plus, I have created great results doing low n slow & hot & fast. The fire board will be a nice compliment too.
@@BartlowsBBQ I ordered it and it should be here on Tuesday I’m going to do a clean burn and see if it leaks smoke if it does then I’ll do the mod if it doesn’t that’s fine I almost bought the big Joe three I just couldn’t I’m not gonna pay at the end of the day 3300 because of interest i’m just gonna save up my money and pay it cash in like a year I also got the controller extremely excited for my first cook I’m going to do smoking dad barbecue hot and fast ribs in total I spent 1000 on everything so far I don’t regret it
Great video!
I just bought one of these grills and the felt will be one of the first things I will be installing before any cooks. How well is the gasket working for you? Also, curious to how long does it take for the coals to stop burning once you close all vents at top and bottom when compared to the other kamado Joes.
Thank you so much and good questions. Being a Kettle it takes a bit longer. I'm not sure I have observed the time it takes ti snuff out. I just shut it down and walk away. As long as vents are closed you won't have issues. Overall, Kettle Joe is a fun & versatile grill. It's main weakness is leaking from gaskets and this fix helps but doesn't completely eliminate it.
@@BartlowsBBQ Thanks for your input. Be good to know how long it will take to cool down so I know how soon after I can put the bbq cover back on. I will have it on a deck but there is no cover to protect it from rain. Anyway, if you do find out, let me know! thanks. I'm still waiting for mine to arrive!
Can one use a small piece of the heat gasket material to prevent smoke leakage at the temperature gage?
I haven't tried that yet but I imagine that could work. Let me know if you give it a go.
Did you apply gasket sealer under the gasket too or just for the temp gauge? Thanks for the help!
I just applied it to the temp gauge. If you have a washer, you could add that to the screw, nut and bolt behind temp gauge as an alternative.
Thank you for the info!
Did the mods work? I just bought one for half price and wondered how successful it was.
Nice, great affordable grill especially KJ! I think these mods have done a decent job. I also got a pre-production model. It still has a few spots it leaks smoke but still hasn't affected the effectiveness of smoking food!
I'm wondering if you could please mention the length and size of gasket you purchased? Thank you.
Yeah...no problem. Here is the exact link with details of what I used. BBQ Gasket: amzn.to/3nnVk7O
@@BartlowsBBQ Thanks so much! I’ll submit my order. 😊👍
I read an earlier comment re the ash pan and am wondering if this item might be a good solution?
KAMaster Cast Iron Ash Can with Handle.
No doubt the current ash scooper is not good! This would be an interesting option if it would fit underneath the firebox?
If you or anyone can find a mod for that ash pan, lemme know. One use and one side half melted and warped.
I have the same issue. I just tried my ash pan from my classic 2 and it fits perfect except the handle sticks out. But, I use kick ash basket on my other joe's and will probably just get one for the kettle joe. So much easier for clean up!
This doesn't answer the title of the vide!
I’m sorry it doesn’t meet your expectations. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel.
