ProJoe: The Next Revolution in Grilling
ProJoe carries the largest cooking area, highest thermal retention, a more precise temperature control system, reengineered ergonomics and exceptional aesthetic design.
Cooking Area
To expand the functionality of the ProJoe, the cooking area was redesigned in a two-tier configuration that has an upper and lower set of 3/8" thick stainless steel cooking grates. The 24.5" diameter upper grate has a cooking area of 471 sq in., and the lower grate measures 23.5" in diameter with a 434 sq in cooking area. The lower grate's primary purpose is the ability to cook at a significantly higher temperature for true steakhouse searing.
Higher Thermal Retention
ProJoe's shell design is a three-component system with a thick inner ceramic core averaging 2" in thickness, which is wrapped in a ceramic fiber insulation blanket, then housed in a 304 stainless steel outer shell. The advantage is superior heat retention, which reduces the exterior temperature by more than half that of the interior temperature. For example, a 400°F inner temperature only yields an exterior temperature of 140°F.
Precise Air Control System
Two new enhancements to the air flow system are a set of precise temperature controls and a proprietary air sealing system. The ProJoe top and bottom vents are made of investment cast stainless steel with a mirror finish, and the signature dampening system employs a set of markings for precise temperature control. Both vents have a redesigned gasket system that completely seals off the air flow for accelerated cooling and reduced fuel costs.
Signature Ergonomics
The "Perfectly Counterbalanced Hinge System" is the most ergonomically advanced feature of the ProJoe. It was engineered to offset the weight of the lid and also offer static positioning. Only 8 lbs of force is required to raise the 175 lb lid from 0° to 70° and this new system allows the lid to remain stationary at positions as low as 10° from the base.
Exceptional Aesthetic Design
ProJoe is intended for planned or existing outdoor kitchens. The combination of a brushed stainless steel shell and a polished handle, vents and hinge gives the ProJoe a very distinctive aesthetic appeal, yet it compliments the fixtures and outdoor appliances by other manufacturers. A stainless steel cart is also available.
