Kamado Joe x Jord Althuizen

A new chapter in live fire cooking

Fire has always been more than heat. It brings people together, creates stories, and transforms simple ingredients into unforgettable experiences. That philosophy lies at the heart of our new collaboration with Jord Althuizen - pitmaster, fire cooking pioneer, and founder of Smokey Goodness.

Together with Kamado Joe, Jord will ignite a new wave of inspiration for everyone who cooks over fire - from backyard beginners to seasoned pitmasters.
