Overview
The rundown on the Kamado Joe Stainless Steel Latch Assembly Classic Joe & Big Joe Series II / III (KJ-SSLATCH)
The Kamado Joe Stainless Steel Latch Assembly (part number KJ-SSLATCH) is the genuine factory replacement for the front latch on compatible Kamado Joe ceramic grills. It is made from stainless steel and mounts in the original latch position. Fitting a new one restores the dome compression against the base gasket when the original has loosened, worn or been damaged.
It suits owners of Classic Joe II and III and Big Joe II and III grills, and the same part is listed for the Pellet Joe. If your dome no longer closes firmly or smoke is escaping at the front, a fresh latch is a straightforward place to start. This is a special-order part: it is ordered in on request from Kamado Joe Australia and ships when it arrives.
