Kinds of BBQ accessory
- Covers: tough, tailored covers that keep rain and grime off. Each is shaped for one specific grill, so match the brand and model.
- Half-moon surfaces: Kamado Joe grates, griddles, soapstones and pans that cover half the grill, so one side can sear while the other cooks gently.
- Griddles and sear plates: flat plates for smash burgers, a full breakfast, or fish and chopped veg that would otherwise drop between the bars.
- Pizza: stones, peels and, for some grills such as Masterbuilt's Gravity Series, pizza oven add-ons.
- Heat deflectors: ceramic stones that sit between the coals and the food, so it cooks indirectly, low and slow.
- Rotisserie: spits and kits that rotate a joint or whole chicken slowly above the coals.
- Charcoal baskets and fire lighters: a basket corrals the lumpwood, so the whole fire lifts out for de-ashing and any unburnt coals can be used again.
- Meat probes: plug into the controller on a connected grill, which then displays how hot the food is inside.

Which accessory suits your cooking?
| Accessory | Suits | Worth checking |
| Cover | A grill that stays outdoors all year round. | The exact grill and size it's cut for. |
| Half-moon surfaces | Two heat zones at once on a kamado. | That it matches the size of your Kamado Joe. |
| Griddle or sear plate | Burgers, fry-ups and small pieces. | Whether it's half-moon or covers the whole grate, and which grill it's for. |
| Pizza stone or oven add-on | Crisp bases and flatbreads at high heat. | Your grill model, and a peel for sliding pizzas in and out. |
| Rotisserie | Chickens and joints that baste themselves as they turn. | A full kit or a replacement spit. |
| Meat probe | Cooking to a temperature rather than guessing. | That it works with your grill's controller. |
Making the choice
Get the grill and size right
Many Kamado Joe pieces are sized separately for Big Joe, Classic Joe and Joe Junior, and every cover is tailored to a single grill. Compare the product title and compatibility notes with the grill you own before adding anything to the basket.
Think about how you cook
Low-and-slow smokers get the most from a meat probe, a heat-deflecting stone and a basket for the coals; together they make long cooks easier to control. If you prefer high heat, a griddle, sear plate or pizza stone opens up more dishes. For a Sunday joint or a whole bird, a rotisserie turns it steadily so it bastes as it cooks.
Covers are worth having
A grill that lives outside lasts longer with a fitted cover keeping rain and dirt off. Always let it cool completely before the cover goes on.
Before you order
- Find your grill's model and size. Look on the sticker on the grill, or in the owner's manual.
- See what's in the box. Certain pieces rely on a rack or frame that's sold separately; the product page lists exactly what's included.
- Choose the right fuel. Lumpwood charcoal and natural firelighters give the best results; avoid lighter fluid.
- Handle hot kit carefully. Stones, griddles and grates hold a lot of heat. Use proper heat-proof gloves, and wait for everything to cool before you clean it.

BBQ Accessories: your questions answered
How do I know an accessory fits my grill?
Each listing names the grill and size it's for, so compare that with yours. Kamado Joe parts are often made separately for Big Joe, Classic Joe and Joe Junior. Call 01622 541312 if in doubt.
Is a BBQ cover worth buying?
If the grill stays outside, yes. A fitted cover keeps it dry and clean and helps it last. Wait until the grill is completely cold before covering it.
What are half-moon accessories?
Kamado Joe grates, griddles, soapstones and pans that each fill half the grill. Combine them to cook over two different heats at once.
What's the point of a charcoal basket?
It keeps the coals together so you can lift them out, knock off the ash and save what hasn't burnt for next time.
Can a pizza stone go on any barbecue?
You'll need a lidded grill that stays very hot and steady, a kamado being the classic example. Put the stone in while the grill warms up, never onto a fire that's already roaring, and check which grills it suits.
