Introducing the Big Joe Konnected Joe: A Smart Upgrade for Grilling Enthusiasts
In 2023, Middleby Outdoor enhanced its Kamado Joe ceramic grills by incorporating smart grilling capabilities through the launch of the Konnected Joe. Now, they’re expanding their lineup with the introduction of a larger variant, the Big Joe Konnected Joe. This new model not only retains all features found in the original but also boasts an impressive additional cooking area of 200 square inches. As a kamado-style grill, it still offers exceptional fuel efficiency and outstanding heat retention thanks to its ceramic construction.
Enhanced Features and Specifications
The Big Joe Konnected Joe builds on the legacy of the popular Big Joe line. While maintaining dimensions similar to those of the Big Joe II, this smart grill is surprisingly lighter by 60 pounds. It mirrors its predecessor in temperature range capabilities, offering a versatile 225-700 degrees Fahrenheit range. However, what sets it apart is its advanced digital control system combined with an integrated fan that consistently manages your desired cooking temperatures.
Smart Technology at Your Fingertips
The Kamado Joe app complements this innovative grill by enabling users to monitor and adjust temperatures remotely via Wi-Fi connectivity. The app provides various functionalities including real-time food probe readings, progress graphs for your cook sessions, notifications to keep you updated on your meal’s status, and access to numerous recipes suited for all occasions. Additionally, multiple cooking modes such as Automatic—ideal for hands-free grilling—and Classic—perfect for traditional temperature management—are included alongside specific modes tailored for Kamado Joe accessories like their unique rotisserie attachment.
User-Friendly Control Systems
The newly designed Kontrol Board positioned at the front conceals a digital display where users can easily view temperatures along with graphs corresponding to their cooks and current alerts regarding ongoing processes or selected modes. The design accommodates up to three wired food probes concurrently while featuring a convenient button dedicated solely to Automatic Fire Start (AFS). This revolutionary function allows charcoal ignition without needing flammable liquids or starter fuels—a hallmark feature from its predecessor that continues making this model stand out.
A Tradition of Quality Grilling Design
You can purchase The Big Joe Konnected from authorized retailers or directly through Kamado Joé’s website priced at $2,999—a figure matching that of its elder sibling,BIG JOE III, and representing $1,300 more than smaller KONNECTED JOE version offered previously which further emphasizes value additions associated here!
