The Carbon Steel Paella Pan for Classic Joe and Big Joe Grills, up close
Our take
Straight talk on the Carbon Steel Paella Pan for Classic Joe and Big Joe Grills
The 18-inch Kamado Joe is the one most people should buy. Big enough for a family cook, small enough to get hot fast, and it does low-and-slow and a screaming-hot sear on the same lump of charcoal.

From the makerKamado Joe’s own description
Unleash culinary versatility with the Kamado Joe Paella Pan from the Karbon Steel™ collection, a premium accessory crafted to expand the capabilities of your Kamado Joe Big Joe ceramic grill, tailored for Australian BBQ enthusiasts craving authentic flavors. This wide, shallow carbon steel pan is designed to sauté meats and vegetables with precision, bringing traditional Spanish-styled paella to your backyard or patio. Pre-seasoned and non-stick for an efficient cooking and cleanup experience, it features stainless-steel handles for easy serving and dimples in the base that mimic traditional paella pans to ensure even cooking across the surface. The high-grade carbon steel material is as versatile as stainless steel and as conductive as cast iron, making it perfect for searing, sautéing, or even baking. Compatible with the Big Joe series and other charcoal grills, this pan transforms your grill into a multi-functional cooking station, delivering deep, rich flavors with every meal.
Product Features
- Pre-Seasoned Non-Stick Surface: Ensures quick cleanup and an efficient cooking experience right out of the box.
- Stainless-Steel Handles: Provide easy and safe serving for hot dishes.
- Dimpled Base Design: Mimics traditional paella pans for even heat distribution and optimal cooking.
- High-Grade Carbon Steel: Versatile like stainless steel and conductive like cast iron for superior performance.
- Wide, Shallow Profile: Ideal for sautéing meats, vegetables, and creating authentic paella.
- Big Joe Compatibility: Perfectly fits Kamado Joe Big Joe series and other charcoal grills.
- Buy it if
- you feed four to eight (two racks of ribs or a whole pork shoulder fit) and want one cooker that smokes, roasts, bakes and sears.
- Look elsewhere if
- you cook for twelve most weekends (Big Joe) or want it in the car for camping (Joe Jr).
- Know this first:
- it’s a lot of ceramic on a cart, so once it’s on the deck it lives there. And ceramic holds heat: overshoot a low target and it’s slow to come back, so close the vents early.
Features
What you’re paying for
-
Thick ceramic, on wheels
Heavy-wall ceramic holds a steady low smoke for hours on one load of lump. Locking castors roll it into place.
-
Kontrol Tower top vent
Holds its setting when you lift the lid, so a dialled-in low smoke stays put while you check the meat.
-
Air Lift hinge
Takes most of the dome’s weight. Lift it one-handed with the tongs in the other, and it stays where you leave it.
-
Two-tier Divide & Conquer
Half-moon grates on two levels: sear direct on one side while the veg roasts indirect on the other.
-
Wire-mesh gasket
Fibreglass mesh round the rim where the dome meets the base. Felt frays after a season of pizza nights; mesh keeps the seal tight.
-
Slide-out ash drawer
Ash drops into a drawer under the bottom vent. Pull it out, tip it, slide it back. No scooping.
