Description:

The Konnected Joe just amped up the Kamado Grilling Game!  The 18-inch Konnected Joe charcoal grill is made of ceramic which maintains heat better than other materials on the market and is set on a heavy duty powder-coated steel grill cart with locking wheels.  The Air Lift hinge significantly reduces the dome weight and Kontrol tower top vent allows for precise temperature control during dome opening and closing. The Konnected Joe has integrated digital technology to make your cooking experience simple and precise. To light the grill, it’s as easy as the push of a button thanks to the AFS (Automatic Fire Starter) button, which contains a built-in element to quickly ignite a flame, eliminating the need to manually light your charcoal.  There are two cooking modes to use to operate your grill.  Automatic cooking mode utilizes the Kontrol board to set your desired cooking temperature and the Kontrol fan to automatically maintain the temperature inside the grill or Classic mode if you’re looking for a more traditional cooking experience.  On the inside of the grill is the two-tier divide and conquer cooking system, a multi-level and multi-surface flexibility, that splits the primary stainless steel grate into two halves, giving you the ability to cook various foods at different temperatures.  Beneath the grates lies a halved heat deflector that creates more heat zones with the multi-rack system so you can cook with direct and indirect heat. The pull out ash drawer makes for an effortless clean up, simply dump your ashes and continue cooking. 

The digital components is what sets this grill apart. The Kontrol board digital control panel is where you will set your desired temperature and access a variety of features.  It’s important to note that you must set your desired temperature on the Kontrol board first.  After doing so, you can then modify and adjust the temperature through the app. The control panel features 24-hour temperature graphing which eliminates the hassle of opening and closing the lid to manually check the internal temperature of the cook.  With temperature graphing, you can use the meat probe ports to track the internal temperature and access data graphs to see how the cook changes over time, allowing you to monitor the entire cook process in real time.  The Kontrol board also allows you to set and monitor cook modes (automatic or manual) and grill temperatures, set timers (down or up) and includes automatic temperature control using the digital fan for precision cooking. The digital fan works to maintain and regulate temperature consistently throughout the cook by automatically generating airflow through the grill interior so you don’t have to worry about the temperature within your grill getting too high or too low.  

Not only can you can control these settings from the Kontrol board but you can also use the free Kamado Joe App.  The app connects to your grill via wifi or bluetooth and is a convenient way to control and monitor your grill from a distance.  Through the app you have the ability to set and adjust the grill temperatures, connect (up to 3) meat probe ports to the app to monitor internal meat temperatures, track and monitor the entire cook process of your food with temperature graphing, set timers, and receive notification alerts when your grill reaches the set temperature and when your food reaches the desired internal temperature.  But the app doesn’t stop there!  The mobile app also offers an impressive lineup of recipes to inspire you on your culinary journey. The apps recipe section includes set-by-step instructions, ingredient lists and cooking tips so you can feel like a “Master Chef” in your backyard.

FAQ:

1. Can I turn my Konnected Joe on/off from the app?  No, you cannot turn the Konnected Joe on/off from the app.  To turn on the grill, you must turn on the power switch in the back of the unit, power on the Kontrol board and ignite the grill with the Automatic Fire Starter ignition button, which cannot be done remotely.  To adjust temperatures in the app, you first have to set the temperature on the Kontrol board. Once you’ve filled your grill with charcoal, powered the grill, the Kontrol board, ignited the grill, and set the temperature from the Kontrol board then you can monitor and adjust the temperature remotely from the app.  The only thing you can turn off from the app is the Kontrol board where the fan and control panel will turn off, but your charcoal will continue to burn, so you must properly shut down your Konnected Joe manually.  To turn off the grill, turn off the power switch in the back of the unit, power off the Kontrol board and close the bottom vent completely.  When the temperature falls below 400 degrees F, then you can close the top vent leaving a small opening which will properly extinguish the charcoal.  
2. Do meat probes need to be inserted in order for temperature graphing to monitor the cook?  Yes, you must insert meat probes into what your cooking, but the temperature graphing is automatic (no set up required).  Simply insert the probe into your meat, close the hood and the app will display real time temperature readings where you can monitor the entire cook process without having to open the hood of the grill.
3. What is the warranty for the Konnected Joe?  The Konnected Joe is protected by the standard Kamado Joe warranty, a limited lifetime warranty on ceramic parts, 5-year warranty on metal parts, 3-year warranty on the electronic components/heat deflectors/pizza stones, 2-year warranty on miscellaneous components and standalone accessories.
