Overview
Kamado Joe puts pellet fuel inside a ceramic kamado with the Pellet Joe, so a thermostat controls the fire while the ceramic body holds heat. An app over Wi-Fi sets temperature and time, watches the probes and sends alerts.
Kamado heat retention with set-and-forget pellet control is the reason to buy. The cooking area is modest for its size and weight, and it arrives needing assembly.
Who it's for
Smokers who want overnight cooks with app monitoring fit here. Hosts feeding big groups regularly will find the grate small.
Pros and cons
- Ceramic body holds heat
- Wi-Fi app control
- Long burn per hopper fill
- Air Lift Hinge for the dome
- Modest cooking area
- Very heavy, needs assembly
Performance notes
The thermostat feeds pellets to hold the set temperature, while the ceramic walls hold heat steadily. Agitators in the hopper reduce pellet bridging and jams, which protects long cooks from stalling.
