The Kamado Joe Big Joe Konnected Joe lights its own charcoal at the push of a button. Set the temperature and its Kontrol Fan does the rest, holding the heat across 2,903 sq cm of charcoal cooking space.
It grills, smokes, roasts and bakes on a 61cm stainless steel grate, from 107°C (225°F) for low-and-slow cooks to 371°C (700°F), with searing heat from 260°C (500°F). The two-tier Divide & Conquer system puts half-moon racks at different heights, so different foods cook at different temperatures at once. Automatic mode gives full digital control, from the Kontrol Board or the app, and Classic mode runs it as a traditional kamado.
The Automatic Fire Starter is a built-in element that lights the charcoal. The Kontrol Board sets the temperature, graphs it over 24 hours and sends alerts, while the Kontrol Fan drives the airflow that holds the heat. The Kamado Joe app connects over Wi-Fi to set temperature and time, watch the meat probe and find recipes. The dome has an Air Lift hinge, a Kontrol Tower top vent and a built-in thermometer, and ash clears through a slide-out drawer.
The grill sits in a heavy-duty powder-coated steel cart with side handles and folding aluminium side shelves. It is supplied with the Divide & Conquer system, two ceramic heat deflectors, two stainless steel cooking grates, an ash tool and a meat probe.
