J'ai mon Konnected Joe™ depuis 3 mois et je l'adore. Je n'utilise plus mon Bbq à gaz. Il est très facile à utiliser. L'application est vraiment bien. En quelques minutes il monte à la bonne température. Il garde tout seul la température de façon constante, assez incroyable pour un BBQ au charbon. Les cuissons sont parfaites. Le fait d'avoir des sondes intégrées rend la vie du chef BBQ tellement plus simple. Bref, je profite de mon BBQ, de mes invités et tout le monde me troue super bon !
Fantastic Grill - Brutal Assembly and Instructions

Phenomenal grill, I really enjoy the unit once I managed to get it working. The instructions are minimal and I had (2) errors after I assembled.
(1) there was no mention in the instructions that I needed to untie and plug the back probe into the plug. The smoker just kept saying PROBE ERROR and shutting down. Once I noticed this was not connected that went away.
(2) It was constantly saying LID OPEN even after adjusting the lid screw to the right tension (wasn’t done right at factory). I luckily found that having the top temp gauge wire going through the back hinge was causing this. I pulled it out and ran it around the back hinge and that fixed the error.
Now that I am grilling error free I LOVE this unit. Please update assembly and user instructions please.
I bought my Konnected Joe in december 2025....and i'm amaze how easy is hit to use. It works perfectly and i had some issue to plug it on electricity. I had to replace my power outlet for a normal one. It solve the problem and it now works perfectly. I am so happy with this BBQ. I recommend it.
Don't buy this product unless you want to replace your electric fan. I baught the pizza maker and as soon as the temps got too hot the fan stopped working. This is a big problem for something so expensive. 100% do not recommend.

Thank you for taking the time to review the Konnected Joe. If the fan is turning off during use it is because the pit probe has reached the set temperature. Once the set temperature is reached, the fan will turn off. Once the cabinet temperature falls below the set temperature, the fan will restart. The fan will continue adjusting itself automatically to maintain the set temperature. This is normal operation of the Konnected Joe. Also, if you are using the grill with an accessory you should choose the accessory on the home screen of the controller prior to using it. This will bypass the lid switch. If the lid switch detects that the dome is open during use the fan will also not run, unless you have the grill running in accessory mode.
I bought this as a Christmas gift for myself. (OK, for my wife also as she will benefit from the amazing meals😊).
I cooked a ham on Christmas and a brisket on New Year’s Day in addition to chicken breasts, wings sirloin steak, rib eye steak, tri tip, stuffed flank steak and vegetables.
I have had no issues starting to fire or keeping the proper temperature even the the air temp was as low as 0 degrees F.
Wow is all I can say. Anyone deciding which grill to buy, get the Konnected Joe. You will be known as the family and neighborhood expert pitmaster.
We purchased our Konnected Joe last summer (2025) and have used it constantly with exceptional results. The amazing technology in this unit allows me to monitor cooks via my iPhone easily, and it never lets me down. Our best cook so far has been our 2025 Thanksgiving Turkey using the JoeTisserie attachment, just an incredible turkey cooked PERFECTLY! THANKS for such a great unit!
I've had the grill for about two months and am still learning about all the ways to use the grill. The features include remote temperature control of the grill temps AND the food I'm cooking. I love the control it gives me and that I can be in the house watching a game while it is at a set temperature - no overcooking! This grill looks like it will last for many years and it also looks great on my deck area. I'm thrilled with the purchase.
