Great video, informative and entertaining...but I bought the Konnected Joe anyway! I am coming from owning a Traeger, so I appreciate the connected grill features, and I'm coming from a different history (oh charcoal, how I've missed you). A Konnected Joe with a (separately purchased) SloRoller is *still* $50 cheaper than a KJ Series 3. It has all the same features except it only has 2 vs 3 tiers of divide-and-conquer. That's not nothing, but on the plus side it has the electric starter and the fan/controller. I press start and the grill is at temperature in

Exactly, beside the automatic fire ignition there are no advantages. The display let's you know the position to put the draft door and the top tower vent. When using a KJ classic 2 for several years now I can perfectly dial in these positions myself. I also wonder if the automatic fire ignition gets clogged overtime with left over charcoal (dust) or fat drippings? For now I'am not that excited or thinking about replacing my classic 2 grill

I purchased a Kamado Joe Konnect on 6/22/2023. Once I unboxed it, I started to realize that it was improperly assembled at the factory. The lower lid band bolt was stripped, the lower gasket was improperly installed. These problems made it so the lid would not close properly. I tried to adjust the lid accordance with their instructions, but had to cut the lower band belt bolt and replace with another bolt in order to adjust. I opened a support ticket with customer support and it took over a month for them to respond. Currently, the grill sits out on my patio unusable, and I am getting very little support from Kamado Joe. Kamado Joe has poor quality control and the warranty is worthless because they don't respond to customer issues.

Heck, even my Weber Smokefire can stay outside and be used if the sky is crying (you know and understand why I have it, though I do miss my WSM and Kettle, but the massively reduced shoulder and back pain when cooking is a godsend - and unless windy, have a decent sized outdoor umbrella for keeping the area dryish for when doing anything with the bbq’s in such conditions That’s a real shame they haven’t allowed for those times and might well put off people who need some assistance with controlling our bbq’s The 2 biggest flaws (other than weather conditions) I think are where the probe is, and the starter. It might take a number of people a while to realise about the starter - I do know you, James, and various others love your little friends Great educational video Al, and many of your points I didn’t realise after watching James video just before yours.

Part of the fun with the Kamado's, at least for me, is building up/maintaining the fire "manually" on a long brisket/butt smoke, it just gives me a sense of accomplishment, lol...Besides, my Big Joe III, Large Green Egg and Joe Jr. are so efficient and maintain stabile temps so well they're practically self-regulating anyway and require virtually NO adjusting even on "very" long 14-20 hour smokes using the Joe III and Egg. I now rarely even use my Yoder YS480s pellet smoker anymore because of this (which was my "first" serious smoker) unless I'm just a hurry-or just feeling lazy AF that day.😂

I totally agree with you, everyone is all hyped up about the new Joe and forget that there's options out there with similar results. I'm a huge fan of Kamado style grills but don't have the $$ for a good one like Kamado Joe you got. I picked up a used $40 Weber kettle premium and cleaned it up, bought a defuser attachment for indirect smoking and will soon be getting the spider venom temperature fan controller attachment. I think with this set up the results will be great and still be under a quarter of the price of a Kamado Joe.

I think Kamado Joe is likely trying to attract some of the pellet posse people with this hybrid approach. Many friends are into smoking meats now with the Traegers and the like; 15 years ago, when I got my egg, they thought it was a fad. All of those people could have gotten Kamado cookers instead, but the unlikely scenario that they cook while they are at work sort of sealed the deal. Personally, I'd do the same set up as you, instead - the Big Jow 3 and the thermoworks and billows.

Hi George. I'm with you on needing them to be successful - and I will continue to cook on and show the value in the Kamado Joe core products and their actual innovations. If you watched the end you saw me plead with them to please stop messing around with gimmics and get back to the kind of innovation that brought us the SloRoller, the DoeJoe, the airlift hinge, the superior gasket, the most stable temperature controlled grill in history - those things are what we should all expect of them. I saw they also came out with some new carbon (Karbon) steel tools - I'll be getting my hands on them and I would bet you'll see me say nice things.

Thanks for jumping into the conversation. My take I think was clear at the end. There's nothing wrong with electronics - I own some for my BGE. The real question is whether it's smart to include them in the cooker (no it's not), or whether it's even necessary (I don't think it is given KJ's temperature stability). I am having a hard time thinking of a consumer that would be better off with this than with a KJ Classic 3 with one of any of the external controls.

My guess is that historic kamado people aren’t the target market here. I am guessing this is their attempt to target the people who would typically buy pellet smokers and offer them the similar ease except they get the benefits of charcoal.

@bigdmc6459 Жыл бұрын

Yes exactly that this isn’t for joe 2-3 users to upgrade it’s targeting the pellet grill users to be or pellet user that want more smoke ring/flavor with 5here bbq. I think the cost is very good compared to a good pellet grill for what u get. I don’t get that a bbq can’t be outside in the elements though. The just bad Design on there part should’ve made the unit removable with a blanking plate when not needed

@BehindTheFoodTV Жыл бұрын

I agree with both of you. If they want to go after the pellet market (they failed once with their attempt at making an actual pellet grill) they need to make a unit that's better than the pellet grills in the same price point. And you can use a Traiger Timbeline in the rain.

@@bigdmc6459 When was the last time you saw someone you respect cook on one? The proof is in the pudding. Just like that release, you'll see videos for the next week or so from KJ channels showing their cooks on them (I'm really looking forward to James' video tomorrow from Smoking Dad BBQ I'm sure he'll cook on it now that he did the unboxing), but then once the hype dies down and we all have to decide what to cook on, we go back to the products that make the best food and that the audience has purchased.

It's a tradeoff for me. If I am willing to do the work a stick burner requires, it's always the best food. But for a fire it up and leave it alone cooker, it's hard to beat the experience and taste of a KJ - especially now that I've mastered the double-indirect method that Smoking Dad BBQ teaches.

It seems they DC'd the iKamand and left us all holding the bag! I tried to use it for my July 4th cook and found they have removed the app and now it's rendered useless and removed my account. I went round and round with their customer service over emails(Becauser they don't have a phone number to call), that should tell you something! So my last email was this, from them: We would like to assist you with your iKamand issue however, we have recently discontinued technical support for this product and it will no longer function. We apologize that the iKamand has not lived up to standards and is not allowing you to have a successful grilling experience. Thanks again for your continued support of Kamado Joe. We look forward to delivering new ways for you to Serve Up Adventure with future products. Enough said. $250.00 down the drain. My grill is awesome but after spending $3000.00 on a grill and accessories, is this the the kind of customer service you want?? I am not sure about the Green Egg, but i would buy that instead of dealing with these people, the service can't be worse. Enjoy this new innovation-they won't support if it doesn't work! Steer clear!
