Kamado Joe Classic Konnected 18" Digital Ceramic Grill

Smart Control Meets Everyday Kamado Cooking

The Kamado Joe Classic Konnected 18" Digital Ceramic Grill brings smart control to one of the most popular kamado sizes. Built for backyard cooking, it combines traditional ceramic performance with digital temperature control and automatic fire management—making it easier than ever to get consistent results.

Whether you're grilling weeknight dinners or running an all-day smoke, the Classic Konnected Joe delivers reliable performance with the added convenience of push-button ignition and app-based control.

This is the easiest way to get into kamado cooking—without manually lighting the fire or managing vents.

No lighter, no guesswork—just set your temperature and cook.

Available in one complete configuration:

• Cart Model: Includes a heavy-duty rolling stand with locking casters, a lower storage shelf, aluminum side shelves, and the integrated Konnected Joe digital control system.
• Built-In Installation: Not recommended. The Konnected Joe requires increased airflow to properly cool internal electronics. Enclosing the grill on multiple sides can restrict ventilation and impact performance. The included cart provides optimal airflow and clearance.

Is the Classic Konnected Joe Right for You?

The Classic Konnected Joe is a great fit for cooks who want:

• 18" cooking space for everyday meals and family cooks
• Set-it-and-forget-it temperature control
• Less manual vent adjustment during long cooks
• App-connected monitoring and control
• Traditional kamado performance with modern convenience

If you want kamado flavor without constantly managing airflow, the Classic Konnected Joe is the easiest way to get started.

Core Konnected Features

The Classic Konnected Joe combines proven kamado cooking capability with digital control and automated airflow.

• Digital Kontrol Board™ for precise temperature control

With push-button ignition, you can get started quickly, then monitor and adjust your cook remotely through the app. And if you prefer a more hands-on approach, you can always switch to full manual control.

Konnected Joe vs Classic Joe (II or III)

The grills share the same 18" cooking surface and core kamado performance. The primary difference comes down to how you control the cook.

Plan Ahead Before You Buy

The Konnected Joe is a substantial grill. Its size and weight are a major advantage when cooking, but it also means planning ahead for delivery and placement.

Important: Avoid lifting the grill by the hinge. The band system is not designed to support the full weight during lifting.

Use a proper lifting tool like the CGS Chariot to safely move and position your grill.

Pro Tip: Check Facebook Marketplace—many customers use a moving tool once, then resell it.
