First I want to say love all your videos. You've been awesome and incredibly informative. I'm searching for my first real smoker. I keep leaning towards traeger but I figured I'd give this video a look. The one thing that lost me with this latest Joe incarnation is if you've got a wrestle with wood chunks and such to get your meat to fit on the grill It's just too much of a dance. I'd rather concentrate on getting the meat where it needs to be (trimming)temperature and then let the grill do the rest. I was thinking about doing an offset but I'm not big on fire management. Anyway for the Kamado Joe folks having to wrestle with all these features kind of takes the joy out of the cook. Keep up the good work my friend thank you

Team manual, here. The process is the fun. Having said that...autopilot can be very useful. Many is the time we've got simple little cooks (short ribs, chicken and what not) that I'm feeling, "Ugh, I don't have the energy today to do the process." and we end up crock-pot, baking or grilling. I love my Classic 2, but spending two hours to make hamburgers doesn't really do it for me so I really see a market for this machine. I think the long haul will be the determining factor; how long does the auto-fire work, does the hardware hold up, is the software upgradeable, how easy is it to go manual and will it work as well. I mean if after everything electric breaks and all you're left with is a manual Classic 2, you're not really losing anything.

Hi James, great video. I have a Konnected Joe purely because I have a young family so it is a way of being able to do low n slow while also enjoying family life. Did you ever hear back from KJ on the smoke coming out at the start when the KJ is heating up? Also, any updated views on if the wood is better at the bottom (as per this vid) or not? Final question, when I set up my Konnected Joe and get it to temp but then open to put the meat in, the temp drops so the fan kicks in. This has been then creating some white smoke for me, is that an issue do you think? Many many thanks in advance
@rickrice8102 Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the video James! Always enjoy the great content you provide for us! Personally, I don't really see the value in this KJ grill. Too much automation is just more to break down. The manual warns not to expose to rain or moisture. It also warns about using it inside a garage or even an outdoor structure like a gazebo. A grill belongs outside. What do you do if you're in the middle of a 12 hour brisket smoke and it starts to rain? I don't care for the automatic charcoal igniter. It means the grill requires more electricity to heat up the igniter coil. I don't have access to an outdoor outlet on my patio so when I use the rotisserie or I use the iKamand controller (which I can disconnect when I'm not using it so it is not subject to the weather). I have a portable power station that is sufficient to power either of those for several hours. What happens with this grill when the igniter coil dies or the Fan dies? How would you get warranty service? Will a KJ tech come out and fix it or do I need to disassemble the electronics and replace parts myself? I'll stick with the Grill Gun to ignite my charcoal. I don't like the fact that KJ based this grill off of the smaller Series II and not the Series III. I love my Slow Roller and wouldn't want to be without it. KJ missed the mark with their Pellet Grill, I feel like they did it again with this automated Grill. I love my KJ Classic III and wouldn't trade it for any other grill, but KJ does not need to try and be all things to all people. I hope the company is not headed in the wrong direction. Thanks again for your video!

Very cool smoker, but 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 once dialed in are basically "set and forget" even on very long 14-20 hour smokes when 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 in a hurry-or just feeling lazy AF that day.😂

Great demo for the product. I take it you did not have a SloRoller for this size handy? One suggestion, you may want to salt the tallow, and cut down on the amoint of salt rub for brining accordingly, in order to allow for better salt distribution. I prefer my briskets a bit salty such as at Franklin's BBQ, balacing the salt by injection helps. Looking forwards for your rub comparison video.

I speak in humbleness here. I still watch James but I gave up on my Kamado Joe. Higher temp cooks like chicken and steak sear was top notch. But low n slow it never turned out and smelled like chemicals. I went through prob 10 bad briskets. Best were hot n fast but even then the heat on the bottom was too much. I personally feel you need real good air movement like an offset. Nothing compares to live fire CLEAN smoke but that another discussion. I can make a great brisket on a cheap weber kettle in direct. I also ONLY GO 190-194 tops, I base on bark/fat render. Tallow wrap at rest, only wrap at rest. Found a Ninja toaster oven goes down to 145 on reheat feature and I rest overnight minimum period. Back to the kamado I just think the fire is too choked for healthy operation. Barely open exit damper, never, that should always be wide open IMO.

Did you get any dirty smoke during this cook? It did look like it but you never know through a computer screen.

This sort of thing sort of gadget is for the people who would rather go to a friends house for bbq then actually do it themselves. For those of us who follow your channel, bbq is a hobby and an act of love, and would take on the challange of learning any kind or hands on pit to help us produce the best end product. One thing Al mentioned the thing isn't weather proof, and unless you live in the desert this could be an issue.

I am also uncertain about the IPX4 water resistance rating that it has ... I have had some crazy weather blow in on me doing long cooks I didn't know was coming and then leave as fast as it came. To make things worse, the appeal of grills like this is that you don't need to be close tending your fire, so the chance that i am further away and not able to intervene is higher I suspect the manual / lawyers are being overly cautious ... reading sites like this www.audioreputation.com/ipx4/ makes it seem like this rating is designed for outdoor equipment to survive rain

@SmokingDadBBQ I don't think I would trust that rating in one of our summer rain storms. At the very least you should plug it into a GFI plug, it may trip fast enough to save the system.

I notice when I use a water pan (with water) in my Kamado the bark isn't as prominent, I usually go without a water pan.

That’s why I put something between the water and the food as otherwise that happens too

Great video as always! I’ve been following you for a while now, and currently team green. I got an incredible deal on an XL BGE this weekend but I passed on it based on your videos. Well, this is an interesting concept, I’m worried about the components breaking overtime. Particularly because I leave my cooker outside and uncovered. Would you at this point still recommend the big Joe three over this new Kamado?

Big joe or Xl egg would be my choice over this for space alone
