The Big Joe Konnected Joe is a masterpiece!
The Big Joe Konnected Joe is hands down the most incredible bbq I have ever had to pleasure of using. The quality and craftsmanship I’ve come to expect out of all Kamado Joe products is clearly evident in this masterpiece. Combining the benefits of the Big Joe generous 450 square inches of grilling area with the Konnected Joe amazing technology is a major win. This grill can be used in classic mode where you light your charcoal manually and adjust temperature and airflow with the top and bottom vents. In automatic mode is where things get really cool. The bottom vent is left closed and the internal kontrol fan automatically adjusts air flow to regulate the selected temperature. On screen instructions tell you how to adjust the top vent accordingly. The automatic fire start button ignites a heating coil that remains hot for 15 mins or until the grill reaches 130f. It all works incredibly well and I was amazed at how accurate it is and how quickly temperature changes happen. This makes everything so convenient and easy. For someone new to charcoal grilling or hesitant to get into it this system is going to be so valuable. Other great features are the air lift hinge which can be adjusted to make the dome as light or as heavy as you like. Comes equipped to run 3 wired meat thermometers and everything can be controlled and monitored with wifi through the Kamado Joe app. From low and slow smoking, grilling and ripping hot searing this grill truly does it all. I was sent the Big Joe Konnected Joe for an honest review and I can truly say it is the greatest piece of bbq equipment I’ve ever had the privilege to use. Absolutely amazing 10/10 I can’t recommend it enough!

Ultimate Control with the Big Konnected Joe
I received my Big Konnected Joe just over a week ago and have had multiple cooks ranging from Carne Asada, Al Pastor Chicken, Pizza and Smoked Baked Beans. The simplicity of the AFS system really convenient and the grill is up to 350 dF in 10 min. The divide and conquer system is hands down the best. The ability to install heat deflectors and grill surfaces and varying levels simplifies what would otherwise be challenging cooks if you had to move food, pieces and parts. But, the star of the show is the ultimate temperature control. A great example is the Carne Asada cook a few days ago. I installed a half moon heat deflector low with a grill grate over top; a soap stone low on the other side. I set the grill for 325 dF to reverse sear the marinated flank steak. Once the steak reached a target temp, I pulled it from the grill to rest on a rack and adjusted the temperature in the grill to 450 dF. The grill was up to temperature in minutes, much faster than the rest period I was targeting. When ready, I placed the steak on the soap stone for a minute, flipped it over for another minute and got the most gorgeous sear imaginable. I cleaned the surfaces, lowered the grill temperature down to 325 dF and continued the process with Al Pastor marinated chicken tenderloins and again, the smoke and sear were flawless. All those who tasted the foods were blown away. Again, the flexibility of the divide and conquer system along with the ultimate temperature control make this the best grill I've ever cooked on. Thanks for engineering the Big Konnected Joe along with all the accessories and keep innovating. You really hit the mark with this one.
