Big Joe Konnected Joe: More Space, Same Smart Kamado Joe Features

Kamado Joe is doubling down on smart grilling with the Big Joe Konnected Joe, a larger version of its tech-savvy Konnected Joe. It offers the same Wi-Fi connectivity, digital temperature control, and Automatic Fire Start (AFS) as its predecessor but expands the cooking surface to 450 square inches—200 more than the Konnected Joe. The ceramic build ensures efficient heat retention, while a two-tier cooking system allows for multi-zone grilling.

A front-facing digital display (Kontrol Board) provides real-time updates, temperature graphs, and alerts, while the Kamado Joe app enables remote monitoring and control. The grill supports three wired food probes and includes Kamado Joe staples like the Kontrol Tower vent, Air Lift hinge, and a slide-out ash drawer. The whole unit sits on a powder-coated steel cart with four locking wheels and features folding side shelves for extra workspace.

Retailing at $2,999, the Big Joe Konnected Joe matches the Big Joe III’s price tag but packs smart grilling features that elevate its convenience.
