I really like the fact you can still use it as a traditional kamado or the convenience of electronics

[@superchargedrl]

Awesome review, Trevor! Thank you for being so detailed. You're right, for a newbie - connected Joe. For experienced - classic Joe...for someone super anal about ceramic grills - why not get both, lol?

[@embersliving]

Yeah getting both would be awesome!

[@k.b.1759]

First off let me say I appreciate you taking the time to make these videos, I find them informative. I have nothing against the Konnected Joe, however I still prefer my Big Joe III. If Kamado Joe decides to sell a Big Joe version of the Konnected Joe then I may think about purchasing one. My suggestion to someone new in the Kamado world is to invest in a quality thermometer. Personally I have the Signals BBQ Thermometer with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, this has never disappointed me. Along with that I would recommend the Thermapen One for a quick temperature check. Normally I smoke Briskets or Pork Butts overnight, if my temp starts to increase or decrease an alarm will sound on my phone. After getting used to vent control the likelihood of being alerted during the night is severely decreased. Another item I suggest to purchase is a good cooler, I personally have a Yeti 45 that I preheat and place the meat in, i've kept a brisket for up to 18 hours before and still come out excellent. Really the hardest part about getting started out is spending money on all the tools to make your cook expierence easier. I do agree the most fun is lighting the Joe with my grill gun / flamethrower haha, the practicality factor is a one however the cool factor is a ten! Happy Grilling Everyone!

[@embersliving]

Thank you!

Wow! Tech is moving quick. This is a tough one. I like the classic. If I’m running around with the kiddies and doing errands, I can see how the techie one can be of a great help. Cheers.

[@embersliving]

Yeah that is true you can leave the techie one alone !! Thanks for watching!

[@michaelh5722]

Living in the windiest city in the world, I use a FireBoard Drive 2. It really makes controlling temp much easier when winds are gusting.

[@embersliving]

I will have to look that up

[@timvu8759]

I bought one of these and love it. I have a Napoleon gas grill and I have a pellet grill as well, but I missed charcoal flavor. I know myself well enough that if something isnt convenient im not going to use it. I was on the verge of buying a gravity fed charcoal grill when I discovered the connected Joe. Compared to a pellet grill its slightly more work because you have to move accessories to load the charcoal. The trade off is worth it to get the charcoal flavor I prefer with an easy temperature control. 3-2-1 ribs and reverse seared tomahawks are a breeze.

[@embersliving]

More work and accesories isnt always bad! Im glad you like it!! 😄

[@troyv8302]

Part of the fun to me is getting my kamado dialed in. If I can get it to dial in on the first try, it feels like I accomplished something. If I can get it to be manageable on a windy day, success. That said, the set and forget aspect is nothing to sneeze at either. Although added electronics means added stuff to go bad too. I'd go with the Classic 3 for those reasons.

[@embersliving]

Very nice! Thanks for watching!

[@k.b.1759]

I agree, the simplicity of a bare bones charcoal grill is to be considered. The biggest reason I did not get a pellet grill is due to the electronics and fear of them not lasting.

[@Michele-ot8bh]

I would buy the tech one, especially as I am a newbie, just wish it want red-!

[@embersliving]

Yeah some people love others don't

[@markscott4059]

Great review. The classic iii is the one for me…

[@embersliving]

Nice!

[@k1llerdir]

I would go with the classic 3 because of cooking space and I do not have to worry about if the electronics on the grill goes out. Also I like to use my grillblazer grill gun to start my fires when it is mid spring to late fall. Then I use Fogo fire starters through the winter. I jealous devil and fogo it just depends on what I am cooking.

[@embersliving]

great choice!

[@richrobb2322]

I've been using a Traeger for a year now and I think it 9:37 makes the c 9:45 hicken taste delicious! (been eating more chicken, lately due to pricing) 😢

[@embersliving]

cool

[@bertvanhaeften6674]

Konnected Joe is so good!!!!!!

[@embersliving]

It seems like a great smoker

[@andym2097]

Does the Wi-Fi connect to your network or your device? Makes a difference if you are home or not, for monitoring

[@bobbylazar]

To WiFi network

[@carlosluisbr]

i just saw one at my local home depot down to 1049 from 1699 i think... you think its worth it more now with the extra discount? want to update to a bigger one from my medium BGE. Great video BTW.

[@embersliving]

Yeah I think that would be a great purchase. Thanks for watching!

[@MasterChief37]

Can I use it when it’s raining? I don’t stop grilling during winter, so it has to be an all year device.

[@embersliving]

That im not sure about that!

[@tandpnetwork7102]

can you use lump coal or even throw small chunks of wood in there?

[@embersliving]

you could do lump coal

[@brian2359]

I’d hate to spend the money for the tech and have it give me issues in bad weather. Can it be used in inclement weather?

[@embersliving]

Yeah it should however I would get a cover.

[@jamesj5469]

17:43 is very true that is the funniest part

[@embersliving]

haha thank you

[@DonF-16]

I don't like dealing with anything electronic due to the fact you have to use them next to a power source, and they always break at some point. Non electric is my preference.

[@embersliving]

Great point we deal with a lot of electronic problems with pellet smokers because of the mechanics

[@delta22551]

Is anyone here that’s not a fan boy of this guy and or company, just asking

[@FatMeatsFireBBQ]

Classic 3 all the way...Konnected takes all the fun out of cooking with charcoal

[@embersliving]

true!

[@deannamcgrew6288]

You don’t mention how long it took to get to temp

[@embersliving]

it was pretty quick liek 10 mins maybe

[@bcfran3g844]

It runs with the app,much easier than without.

[@embersliving]

Nice!

[@CarlosAmaya-nb6ps]

Pretty good.

[@CarlosAmaya-nb6ps]

Classic 3 all the way.

[@embersliving]

oh yeah

[@smokingtarheel3003]

Definitely the Classic 3.

[@embersliving]

im leaning that way myself

[@tonycampbell2020]

I’m a newbie 😏

[@embersliving]

That's ok!!
