A strong pick for an absolute beginner who wants the technology to do the temperature guesswork for them, but a traditionalist who wants full manual control (and to save money) should get the Classic Joe instead.

Pros

  • Automatic Fire Starter and app control make it much easier for a first-time kamado owner to get consistent results without mastering manual vent control
  • Built-in probes and timers simplify long smokes
  • Firmware updates over time have improved temperature accuracy and WiFi stability
  • WiFi/app control — watch the cook from your phone
  • Built to last (ceramic)

Watch-outs

  • App functionality is basic compared to dedicated smart-thermometer apps
  • WiFi is 2.4GHz only and can be finicky on some routers
  • Costs meaningfully more than the manual Classic Joe of the same size
  • Limited offline capability if WiFi is down

Known niggles

  • WiFi/app connection can drop, particularly during storms, though it typically reconnects within a couple of minutes
  • Automatic Fire Starter has been reported to trip GFCI outlets for some owners
  • App has been described as fairly basic/limited compared to standalone smart thermometers
  • Customer support hard to reach via chat for some owners with unresolved issues
