Kamado Joe Half-Moon Soapstone

Soapstone provides a solid, non-stick surface that prevents small or delicate items like fish fillets and chopped vegetables from falling through the grates. Because it is a dense material, it also retains heat exceptionally well and blocks grease from dripping onto the coals, which significantly reduces flare-ups.

No, soapstone is naturally non-stick and does not require seasoning like cast iron. You can simply wash it with warm water and mild soap, dry it thoroughly, and start cooking.

This accessory is specifically designed to fit into the Divide & Conquer rack system found in Kamado Joe Classic (18-inch) and Big Joe (24-inch) grills. While it might physically fit other grills, it is engineered to lock securely into the Kamado Joe rack structure.

The soapstone is dishwasher safe, but for most cooks, a simple wipe-down with a damp cloth or a gentle scrub with warm, soapy water is sufficient. Because the material is non-porous and stain-resistant, it cleans up much easier than traditional grill grates.

Soapstone is naturally heat-resistant and durable, designed specifically to withstand the high temperatures of a charcoal grill. However, like any stone product, you should avoid extreme thermal shock—such as placing a frozen slab directly onto a blazing hot fire—to ensure its longevity.

Yes, that is the primary benefit of the half-moon design. You can pair it with a standard grate or a heat deflector on the other side of your Divide & Conquer rack, allowing you to sear a steak on the soapstone while roasting vegetables on the grate simultaneously.
