Great forlow-and-slow smokingsearing steaksset-and-forget cooksreal charcoal flavorgadget lovers

A good fit for a beginner who wants the ease of app-guided, auto-ignited smoking at large capacity and is willing to pay a premium for it, but skip it if you're not comfortable troubleshooting occasional WiFi/app glitches.

Pros

  • Push-button Automatic Fire Starter lights charcoal without a chimney or lighter fluid
  • App-based WiFi temperature control and built-in probes make unattended long smokes easier for a beginner
  • Full 24" Big Joe capacity and ceramic heat retention
  • WiFi/app control — watch the cook from your phone
  • Built to last (ceramic)

Watch-outs

  • Most expensive model in the whole lineup by far
  • Probe app readings are unreliable for some owners
  • Reported latch failures on a small number of units
  • Customer support has been slow/hard to reach for some buyers

Known niggles

  • Meat probe temperatures often don't display correctly in the smartphone app even when they show fine on the grill's own screen
  • Automatic Fire Starter has been reported to trip GFCI outlets for some owners, at times unresolved even after troubleshooting with support
  • Kontrol Tower top vent coating can gum up with soot and need a hot burn-off to clear
  • A few owners report latch hardware breaking
