Kamado Joe Soapstone Half-Moon Cooking Surface for Big Joe | Kamado Joe

Model: BJ-HCGSSTONE

The Kamado Joe Soapstone Half-Moon Cooking Surface is a solid slab of Canadian soapstone that sits in one half of your Big Joe, giving you a smooth, flat surface for tender meat, delicate fish and fresh vegetables. A kamado joe soapstone spreads heat evenly, stops food from sticking and keeps flare-ups down, so fragile food stays in one piece and meat cooks in its own juices.

 Suitable For:

• Kamado Joe Big Joe series grills (61 cm)
• Grilling tender meat, delicate fish and fresh vegetables
• Use with the Big Joe Divide and Conquer multi-level cooking system
• Two-zone cooking, with soapstone on one side and a grate or griddle on the other

 Why Big Joe Owners Choose This Soapstone

• Even heat across the whole slab
• Non-stick surface that keeps delicate food intact
• Fewer flare-ups and less burnt meat
• Keeps the juices in the meat for more flavour
• Anti-bacterial, stain-resistant surface
• Half-moon shape that pairs with other cooking surfaces
• Quick to fit and lift out
• Dishwasher safe for easy clean-up

Ideal for Big Joe owners who want a flat cooking surface for food that would otherwise stick to a grate or fall through it.

 Even Heat and Fewer Flare-Ups

Fish fillets, sliced vegetables and tender cuts can be hard work on an open grate. They stick, break apart or catch when fat hits the coals. A thick slab of Canadian soapstone gives them an even, steady surface to cook on, so you get consistent results and far less charring.

• Thick Canadian soapstone slab: spreads heat evenly for precise, predictable cooking.
• Non-stick, non-porous surface: delicate food releases cleanly instead of sticking and falling apart.
• Flare-up control: inhibits flare-ups for less burnt meat and a safer cook.
• Juice retention: meat cooks in its own juices, so it stays full of flavour.

Suited to:

• Delicate fish fillets
• Fresh vegetables
• Tender cuts of meat

 Kamado Joe Soapstone Made for the Big Joe

This half-moon slab is sized for the Big Joe and designed to work with its Divide and Conquer rack system. Because it only covers half the grill, a kamado joe soapstone leaves the other side free for a grate or griddle, so you can sear on one half and gently cook fish or vegetables on the other in the same session.

• Half-moon format: covers one side of the Big Joe, leaving room for a second cooking surface.
• Divide and Conquer compatible: sits in the Big Joe’s multi-level rack system for flexible, multi-zone setups.
• Easy to fit and remove: lifts in and out of the grill without tools.

 Cleaner, Easier Cooking

Cooking several foods at once means keeping things clean between them. Soapstone is naturally non-porous, so it doesn’t hold onto juices or stains the way some surfaces do, and it can go straight into the dishwasher once it has cooled.

• Anti-bacterial surface: helps reduce cross-contamination between different foods.
• Stain-resistant stone: resists staining from the food you cook on it.
• Dishwasher safe: clean it by hand or pop it in the dishwasher once it has cooled.

 Frequently Asked Questions

How do you clean a Kamado Joe soapstone?

Let it cool completely, then wash it with warm, soapy water and a soft brush, or put it in the dishwasher. Store it somewhere cool and dry.

Will this soapstone fit my Classic Joe?

No. This version (BJ-HCGSSTONE) is sized for the Big Joe series. The Classic Joe uses the smaller half-moon soapstone, model KJ-HCGSSTONE.

Does it work with the Divide and Conquer system?

Yes. It’s a half-moon surface made for the Big Joe’s Divide and Conquer rack, so you can pair it with a grate or griddle on the other side.

Can I use the soapstone on my kitchen stovetop?

No. Kamado Joe advises against using it on a stovetop. It also shouldn’t be left in an oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

Where should I put the soapstone when it comes off the grill?

Only on a heat-resistant surface. Never set the hot slab down on a table or bench that can’t take the heat.
