What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Konnected Joe for expertly blending authentic charcoal flavor with digital precision. The exceptional build quality and superior heat retention inherent to Kamado Joe ceramics are highly valued. The standout feature is the digital control system, which delivers incredibly stable temperatures for effortless long smokes, effectively bridging traditional grilling with modern convenience.

Know before you buy
Yes. While the digital Kontrol Board offers precise temperature management, you can switch to manual mode at any time to control airflow and temperature using the Kontrol Tower top vent, just like a classic kamado grill.
The grill features an integrated heating element that ignites the charcoal for you. Simply load your charcoal, press the ignition button on the Kontrol Board, and the grill will handle the lighting process automatically.
This 2-tier system allows you to cook different foods at different heights and temperatures simultaneously. By using half-moon heat deflectors and grates, you can sear a steak on one side while roasting vegetables on the other.
The Konnected Joe is designed for easy maintenance with a slide-out ash drawer. This allows you to remove accumulated ash quickly without having to reach inside the firebox or disassemble the cooking grates.
The WiFi and app connectivity are used for remote monitoring and temperature adjustments. If your internet connection drops, the grill will continue to operate based on the last settings programmed into the Kontrol Board.
The grill is equipped with an Air Lift Hinge, which significantly reduces the weight of the ceramic lid. This feature makes it effortless to lift and close the lid with minimal physical effort, even during frequent checks.
