The Kamado Joe Half-Moon Soapstone Cooking Surface for the Big Joe brings refined heat control and exceptional versatility to outdoor cooking. Crafted from thick Canadian soapstone, this premium cooking surface delivers even, consistent heat distribution that supports precise grilling across a broad range of ingredients. Its naturally non-stick properties make it especially effective for preparing tender meats, delicate fish, and intricate vegetable dishes, ensuring food releases cleanly while retaining its natural moisture and texture. The dense composition of soapstone absorbs and radiates heat steadily, enabling smooth searing performance and reducing the risk of flare-ups that can lead to burnt or unevenly cooked food.

Soapstone’s non-porous structure is naturally anti-bacterial and resistant to stains, creating a cleaner, safer, and more manageable cooking experience. This characteristic helps minimize cross-contamination concerns when alternating between proteins and produce. Additionally, the surface retains savory juices near the food, enhancing flavor development with every cook. Whether preparing seared scallops, grilled vegetables, or perfectly crusted steaks, the Half-Moon Soapstone provides the stability and control needed to produce consistent, high-quality results.

Designed exclusively for the Big Joe, the half-moon format integrates seamlessly with the Divide and Conquer cooking system, making it possible to combine the soapstone with grates, griddles, or other inserts for multi-level and multi-zone layouts. Its ease of installation and removal allows grillers to adapt their setup quickly as menu needs evolve. Engineered for reliability, versatility, and performance, the soapstone surface elevates the Big Joe’s capability by offering a premium platform for creative, controlled, flavor-focused cooking.
