Great Grill - Konnected

Posted by: Happily Konnected
I bought the KJ Konnected and have used it twice now. The first time I used it as normal grill for a twice smoked ham. As expected, the ham turned out amazing. The grill performed perfectly. The second time, I used the KJ K in full auto mode for pizza....OMG. Amazing. The unit does not mess around. Fired up very quickly, fan billowed out the smoke to get it to temp and then the grill maintained the temp very evenly. Every time I opened and closed the grill, whoosh, it was back to temp. Kudos to the team that designed the unit. Only negative, app is working great on my husband's pixel phone but not on my pixel phone. Working on that.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The grill is great. I am 12 year ceramic griller. I love the fact it starts and gets to temperature by itself. The quality of the grill is very good. The app is another issue. It lags and doesn’t always work.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you had offered me electric, gas, and charcoal smokers and asked which I think would be best for temperature control, there's no way I would have said charcoal. So in the last several years I've tried smoking in a propane barbecue and a vertical electric smoker. The results were never great because both invariably ran away in temperature. But I set the Konnected Joe to 225ºF and it stays there for hours with no detectible variation. And the food that comes out is much, much better than anything I've ever smoked before.
I've only had this for a couple of months but I use it every chance I get now. Worth every penny!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Needed a new grill and smoke so after much research I settled on the Konnected Joe. Pros: Quality is just top of the line and at the price it should be. Versatility for grilling, smoking, roasting, baking and rotisserie. Cons: Price Did not work out of the box. On initial fire up it tripped every GFIC in the house and I tried them all. Solution appears to be firmware updates that I was able to apply after plugging into a non GFIC receptacle. Updated the firm ware, ran for one hour at 400 degrees. Shut it down and tested the next day in the same GFIC's that it had tripped the previous day.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had my Konnected Joe for 9 months now and love the digital features. The automatic fire starter is great for lighting charcoal hassle free. Temperature control is a breeze with the digital control panel. Would like a Big Joe Konnected.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My neighbor just purchased one of these and the quality of food he makes is great. Easy to use - highly recommend.
