Even Heat Cooking with Fewer Flare-Ups

The Kamado Joe Jr. Soapstone Cooking Surface is built for precision and control. Designed to fit within the 13.5" Joe Jr cooking system, this solid surface delivers even heat, reduced flare-ups, and superior moisture retention—making it ideal for delicate foods and high-quality finishes.

Unlike traditional grates, this soapstone surface does not cover the entire cooking area. Instead, it provides a focused cooking zone that excels at controlled, even cooking.

Primary Uses

• Delicate Food Cooking: Ideal for fish, scallops, shrimp, and vegetables that benefit from a solid cooking surface
• Moisture-Rich Cooking: Helps proteins retain natural juices for more flavorful results
• Low-Flare Cooking: Reduces flare-ups by preventing drippings from reaching the fire

What This Means When You Cook

• Even Heat Distribution: Soapstone spreads heat evenly across the surface, reducing hot spots
• Better Flavor Retention: Juices stay close to the food instead of dripping away
• Gentle, Controlled Cooking: Ideal for foods that require consistent heat without aggressive searing
• Natural Non-Stick Surface: Smooth stone surface allows food to release more easily than traditional grates

How It Differs from Cast Iron

• Less Aggressive Sear: Provides a more even, gentle cooking surface compared to cast iron
• More Forgiving: Better suited for delicate foods that can burn easily
• Reduced Flare-Ups: Solid surface blocks direct flame contact

Technical Specifications

• Material: Natural Soapstone
• Approx. Size: ~10.5" cooking surface (fits within Joe Jr system)
• Model Number: KJ15090720
• Compatibility: Fits Kamado Joe Jr.

CGS Pro Tip: Let the soapstone fully preheat before cooking. Once up to temperature, it delivers incredibly even heat and is more forgiving than cast iron for delicate foods.
