At Kamado Joe, we're always striving to push the boundaries of outdoor cooking, and one of the ways we continue to do that is through innovation. As passionate grill aficionados ourselves, we understand the joy of crafting delicious dishes that bring people together. In this blog, we’ll explore one of our most exciting innovations - the Divide & Conquer System.
What is the Divide & Conquer System?
The Divide & Conquer System is a cooking setup designed for kamado grills. This product works with our Classic Joe series II and III, our Big Joe series II and III, and our Konnected Joe. It replaces the conventional grill grate with a dual-level rack, allowing for versatile configurations to accommodate various cooking techniques and diverse ingredients.
Benefits of using the Divide & Conquer System
- Versatility: The heart of Divide & Conquer System lies in its adaptability. Seamlessly switch between direct grilling, indirect cooking, baking, roasting, and smoking - all in one exceptional unit.
- Multifaceted Cooking: Experience the joy of multi-level cooking. Sear steaks on one tier while slow-smoking ribs on another, all at the same time.
- Temperature Control: The Divide & Conquer System allows you to cook at different temperatures all at the same time within the grill. Precisely position you charcoal, heat deflectors, and grates to achieve your desired cooking conditions.
How to use the Divide & Conquer System
- Direct Grilling: Looking for sear marks? Opt for direct grilling by placing the grill grates on the lower tier without using the heat deflectors.
- Indirect Cooking: Elevate your roasting and smoking game by positioning the heat deflectors and then the grill grates above.
- Baking: For artisanal pizza or desserts, set the heat deflectors low and place a pizza stone or backing dish on the grill grates on the top level.
- Two-Zone Cooking: Create two distinct temperature zones by configuring the grates on different tiers to prepare foods with varying heat requirements.
