Kamado Joe warranty for charcoal & kamado grills
The short version
Kamado Joe doesn't cover everything, but keeps ceramic parts and metal and cast iron parts covered for life. That full coverage is the same as most of the 6 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Kamado Joe's published warranty, checked October 2026.
