From ignition to heat maintenance and precise temperature regulation, everything is designed to deliver a hassle-free, reliable and, above all, delicious cooking experience.
🔧 Kontrol Technology for Total Fire Control.
At the heart of the Kamado Konnected Joe is the advanced Kontrol Board™, a digital control system that completely transforms the way you interact with the barbecue. This intelligent interface allows you to adjust and monitor temperature with surgical precision, both from the front panel and via a Wi-Fi connected mobile app. The result is an intuitive, relaxed and deeply reliable cooking experience.
Thanks to this system, you don’t have to worry about opening and closing valves or fiddling with the amount of oxygen. You simply select the desired temperature level, and the system takes care of keeping it stable for hours, without the need for manual intervention. This makes the Kamado Konnected Joe a perfect ally for techniques such as slow smoking, sous-vide in a kamado or long days of indirect cooking. The technology not only accompanies your creativity but also expands your culinary possibilities.
⚡ Intelligent, uncomplicated cooking

Whether you are an experienced griller who wants more convenience or someone just starting in the world of kamado, the automatic ignition ensures an accessible, controlled and highly enjoyable experience right from the start.
🛠️ Premium Ceramic Construction
The excellence of the Kamado Konnected Joe is built on a solid foundation: its thick, durable ceramic body. This material, chosen for its superior thermal properties, allows heat to be maintained consistently and evenly inside the kamado, without significant energy loss. Unlike steel or cast iron, ceramic acts as a thermal chamber that envelops the food in a deep, enveloping cooking, ideal for preparing juicy meats, precise smoking or even outdoor baking.
In addition to its thermal capacity, ceramic offers great resistance to weathering, thermal shock and intensive use. Its glazed finish protects the inside and outside of the kamado against corrosion and weathering, making it a long-term investment. Even on cold or windy days, the thermal efficiency of this kamado allows it to maintain temperature with minimal use of charcoal, making this barbecue not only powerful, but also sustainable.
📱 Smart Cooking from your Mobile Phone
One of the great advantages of the Kamado Konnected Joe is its full connectivity with mobile devices. Thanks to the integration with the Joe App, you can monitor the entire cooking process in real time from your phone or tablet. Controlling the temperature, adjusting cooking parameters, receiving notifications when the food is ready or even saving your favourite recipes is all at your fingertips, wherever you are.
This level of automation not only elevates the convenience of cooking but opens the door to new ways of experimenting with complex recipes that previously required constant monitoring. The app allows you to record cooking curves, adjust airflow, monitor internal temperature probes and replicate successful cooking with precision. In other words, it transforms your kamado into a connected gourmet kitchen, ready for any culinary challenge.
🧰 Versatility From First Use
The Kamado Konnected Joe doesn’t arrive alone. Each unit includes a full selection of high-end accessories designed to multiply the possibilities from the first power-up. Kamado Joe’s unique Divide & Conquer® system allows the grill to be configured into different cooking levels and zones, facilitating parallel direct and indirect heat techniques, ideal for cooking different foods at the same time at specific temperatures.
Also included are practical tools such as the Ash Tool, which simplifies cleaning after each use, and a durable charcoal grate, designed to withstand high temperatures without warping. The addition of a built-in digital thermometer and meat probes gives you complete control over the cooking point, ensuring professional results even on demanding items such as brisket or leg of lamb.
All this means you don’t need to buy extras separately: with the Kamado Konnected Joe, you have everything you need to start cooking like an expert from day one.
Classic Joe vs. Big Joe
The Kamado Konnected Joe is available in two versions, carefully designed for different needs and lifestyles.
The Classic Joe is the more compact option, ideal for those with smaller patios, terraces or more contained outdoor kitchens. Its cooking surface is perfect for groups of up to six people, offering the right balance between capacity, efficiency and portability. Despite its smaller size, it does not sacrifice any of the advanced functionalities: it maintains the self-ignition system, digital connectivity and the same construction quality as its bigger sister. It is the ideal choice for those looking for technological excellence without the need for large dimensions.
On the other hand, the Big Joe is designed for those who want no limits. With a significantly larger cooking surface, it is able to accommodate multiple large pieces at the same time, making it possible to cook for large groups, family events or social gatherings. It is particularly appreciated by advanced users who want to experiment with simultaneous preparations or who want to make the most of the Divide & Conquer system in its larger version. Functionally, it offers all the advantages of the Classic Joe, but with more volume, presence and firepower.
Both versions share the essence of the Konnected range: full automation, premium materials, extreme versatility and an immersive cooking experience. The difference lies in the scale and ambitions of each chef.
🍕 Much more than a Grill
The Kamado Konnected Joe is not limited to the world of grilling. Its ceramic structure and its ability to precisely control the temperature make it a multifunctional tool for different cooking styles. It performs excellently as a high heat retention oven, capable of preparing pizzas with crispy edges and evenly cooked bottoms, artisan breads with crispy crusts or even cakes that require a constant, enveloping temperature.
When it comes to professional smoking, the Kamado Konnected Joe shines in its own right. Its ability to maintain low temperatures for hours, combined with connectivity and the use of aromatic woods, allows slow-cooked recipes such as pulled pork, ribs, brisket or smoked fish to be prepared with a level of control that rivals high-end professional smokers.
And beyond grilling and smoking, this barbecue transforms into an all-round outdoor cooking station, suitable for sautéing, grilling, stewing or even use as a makeshift tandoor. All this is possible thanks to its closed design, which retains moisture and flavour, and its ability to reach and maintain temperatures ranging from 80°C to over 400°C with ease.

🧼🔥 Complete Guide
The Kamado Konnected Joe is a premium barbecue built to last for many years, provided it is given the proper care. Unlike a traditional metal barbecue, its ceramic body and electronic system require some specific steps to ensure optimal and safe performance from day one.
🔧 1. Initial setup before first use
Although a “curing” process is not required as with other traditional kamados, it is recommended to carry out a controlled first ignition to stabilise the ceramic and eliminate any manufacturing residues. This step is ideal for familiarising yourself with the airflow, dome adjustments and thermal behaviour of the unit.
Ensure all parts are properly assembled: the grill, Divide & Conquer® system, charcoal grate, ash drawer and Kontrol Board™.
Check that the lid (dome) closes correctly and that the ceramic fibre seal is evenly in contact.
Fill half the charcoal basket with 100% natural lump charcoal, avoiding chemical firelighters or briquettes.
Carry out this first ignition in manual mode, without activating auto-ignition or app connection.
Light the charcoal with a natural firelighter and let the temperature rise gradually to around 150–180 °C, not exceeding 200 °C.
Maintain this temperature for about 45–60 minutes with the dome closed, allowing the ceramic to stabilise.
Allow the unit to cool down completely before removing ashes or installing electronic components.
📌 Expert tip: This initial burn is optional, but it helps extend the ceramic components’ lifespan and lets you get used to the kamado’s heat flow.
🧽 2. Basic routine to preserve flavour and performance
Cleaning the Kamado Konnected Joe doesn’t require harsh chemicals. Its design allows the heat itself to burn off grease and food residues, like a natural self-cleaning system.
Once you’ve finished cooking, raise the temperature to 600 °F (315 °C) for 15–20 minutes with the dome closed. This will incinerate the grease built up on the walls and grills.
Close the bottom vent and let the temperature drop for another 15–20 minutes. This helps seal the system without abrupt thermal shocks.
While the grills are still warm (use heat-resistant gloves), use a metal or bamboo brush to remove food debris.
Once cooled, remove the ashes with the Ash Tool and dispose of them in a metal container.
Clean the exterior of the Kontrol Board™ and front panel with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Never use abrasive products or excess liquids.
Avoid cleaning the ceramic fibre seal with water or chemicals. Let it self-clean through use and heat.
📌 Important: Never cover the kamado while it is still hot. Wait until the body is completely cool to the touch.
🛠️ 3. Full inspection for optimal performance
Every 4–6 heavy uses, it’s advisable to perform deeper maintenance to avoid blockages, accuracy loss or wear.
Fully remove the grills, Divide & Conquer® system and charcoal grate.
Using a soft brush or dry sponge, clean the inside of the ceramic. Do not use water or detergents.
Check and tighten, if necessary, the hinge screws and metal components.
Clean the air vents (bottom and top) to ensure a free flow. You can use compressed air or a fine brush.
Check the condition of the Air Lift Hinge (dome opening system). If the lid feels too heavy or light, adjust it according to the manual to achieve ideal balance.
Ensure the digital probes are clean, free of grease or residue, and that the connections are firm and dry.
🧯 4. Maintenance of the electronic and auto-ignition system
The Kontrol Board™ and Auto-Fire Starter (AFS) are sensitive technological components that require specific care to ensure accurate and long-lasting performance.
Keep the control panel dry at all times. It should not be used in rain or high humidity conditions.
Use only a soft cloth to clean the display. Avoid all abrasive cleaners or alcohol.
If you won’t use the kamado for more than 2 weeks, unplug the power cable and store the probe in a protected place.
Check the Kamado Joe app regularly to install firmware updates for the digital controller. These updates enhance performance, add features and fix bugs.
📌 Manufacturer warning: When using automatic mode, the bottom air vent must remain completely closed to avoid interfering with the digital temperature control system.
🧳 5. How to care for your kamado off-season
If you're storing your Kamado Konnected Joe during the winter or in periods of little use, follow these steps to keep it in perfect condition.
Thoroughly clean the interior and exterior, removing all grease and ash.
Disconnect all electronic components, coil the power cable and store the probes in their case or a sealed bag.
Cover the kamado only when it is completely cool, using a waterproof yet breathable cover designed for Kamado Joe.
Leave a small opening in the bottom vent to allow air circulation. This prevents mould or condensation from forming.
Before using it again, check the condition of the seal, electrical connections and airflow.

🥩🔥 Wagyu Brisket with Smoked Miso and Honey Glaze
A recipe that blends the Texan tradition of brisket with Japanese umami flavours, elevated to the next level thanks to the Kamado Konnected Joe’s digital control and thermal retention. The result is tender meat with a deep smoky bark and intense sweet-savoury notes that awaken all the senses.
⏳ Total preparation and cooking time
Preparation: 30 minutes
Marinating time: 12 hours
Cooking (low and slow smoking): 8 to 10 hours
Resting after cooking: 1 hour
🧂 Ingredients by Kamado model
| Ingredient | Classic Joe (4–6 people) |
|---|
| Wagyu brisket (beef breast) | 3.5 – 4 kg |
| Coarse sea salt | 2 tablespoons |
| Freshly ground black pepper | 1 tablespoon |
| Garlic powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Smoking wood (apple or cherry) | 2 medium chunks |
🍯 For the final glaze (miso + honey):
| Ingredient | Classic Joe |
|---|
| White miso paste | 2 tablespoons |
| Pure honey | 3 tablespoons |
| Rice vinegar | 1 tablespoon |
| Soy sauce | 1 teaspoon |
| Fresh grated ginger | 1 teaspoon |
🔥 Step-by-step preparation
1. Prepare the brisket
Trim any excess external fat from the brisket, leaving the main protective layer intact. Mix sea salt, black pepper and garlic powder, and rub this mixture all over the beef. Wrap in cling film and let it rest in the fridge for 12 hours to allow the flavours to penetrate.
2. Fire up the Kamado Konnected Joe
Fill the kamado with quality charcoal and add the smoking wood chunks. Start the automatic ignition system and set it to "Low & Slow" mode at a stable temperature of 110 °C (230 °F). Let the barbecue work its magic using the digital controls.
3. Slow smoking
Place the brisket on the indirect cooking zone, fat side up. Insert the digital probe to monitor the internal temperature (ideal range: 92–95 °C). Close the kamado and let it cook for 8 to 10 hours, keeping the temperature steady with the Kontrol Board™ or the app.
4. Prepare the miso and honey glaze
Mix all the glaze ingredients in a bowl and gently heat over a low flame or in the kamado during the final 30 minutes of cooking until slightly thickened.
5. Apply the glaze
When the brisket reaches 85 °C internally, brush the glaze over the top every 15 minutes until it reaches its final internal temperature (92–95 °C). This will create a caramelised bark with a delicious blend of sweet, savoury and smoky flavours in every bite.
6. Rest and slice
Wrap the brisket in butcher paper or foil, and let it rest for 1 hour in a cool box or insulated container. This step is key to allow the juices to redistribute properly.
🍷 Pairing suggestion
Serve this brisket with a bold red wine such as a barrel-aged Syrah or an Imperial Stout beer — both will complement the umami depth of the glaze perfectly.
