TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT THIS PRODUCT BE
INSTALLED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS. WARNING
** Failure to follow these instructions could result in fire, explosion or
burn hazard which could cause property damage, personal injury or death.
CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD**
- Burning wood chips, wood chunks, wood pellets, charcoal and propane gives off carbon monoxide, which has no odor and can cuase death.
- DO NOT burn wood chips, wood chunks, wood pellets, charcoal or propane inside homes, vehicles, tents, garages, or any enclosed areas.
- USE ONLY OUTDOORS where it is well ventilated.
WARNINGS AND IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! This grill will become very hot. Do not move it during
operation.
WARNING! Do not use indoors!
WARNING! Never use gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter
fluid, or similar liquids to start or freshen up a fire in this grill. Keep
all such liquids well away from the grill when in use.
WARNING! Keep children and pets away from grill at all times. Do NOT
allow children to use grill. Close supervision is necessary when children or
pets are in the area where grill is being used.
WARNING! Do not use Match Light charcoal!
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Do not over-fire. When flame spills out of the
grill, you are over- firing. Over-firing may ignite creosote or will damage
the grill.
FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES TO PREVENT THIS COLORLESS, ODORLESS GAS FROM POISONING
YOU, YOUR FAMILY OR OTHERS.
- Know the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning: headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, and confusion. Carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in loss of consciousness and death.
- See a doctor if you or others develop cold or flu-like symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity of this appliance. Carbon monoxide poisoning, which can easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, is often detected too late.
- Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother and child during pregnancy, infants, the elderly, smokers, and people with blood or circulatory system problems, such as anemia, or heart disease.
Charcoal NOT included

GRILL SET-UP
UNBOXING YOUR GRILL
- Cut the plastic bands and remove the top and side panels of the shipping container.
- Set the grill cart box aside.
- Open the dome of the grill and remove the components from the inside of the grill. Handle the internal ceramic parts with care.
KAMADO JOE GRILL WITH CART
- Assemble the grill cart.
- Once the internal components of the grill have been removed, lift the grill out of the container and into the cart. Due to the weight of this grill, we highly recommend two people perform this task. Lift the grill by the rear and side handles only. Do NOT lift the grill by the side shelf tabs, hinge, or front handle. Wear protective gloves when lifting and use extreme caution.
- Adjust the grill in the cart so the lower grill vent is facing the front of the cart. The front side of the cart is the side with the two locking casters.
KONNECTED JOE BUILT IN
Please use this as a general guide for installing your ceramic grill in a
built-in outdoor kitchen or grill table. We highly recommend that the actual
grill being installed be measured.
Table should be fixed on the ground or wall.
Non-flammable building materials are suggested for construction.
Drawing is not to scale.To install your
Konnected Joe into a built-in kitchen, cart, table, or stand, ensure the
surface the grill sits on has an opening 12.25in(32cm) in diameter directly
underneath the grill to allow cool air to reach the bottom of the grill.
Ensure the surface is non-combustible and can handle high temperatures. Ensure
there is rear access to the grill so you can access the power switch. Use
extreme caution, sparks and hot ash can reach the bottom of this grill.

QUICK START GUIDE
WARNING – Do not use an external fan and/or controller at any time.
STARTING IT UP
Your Konnected Joe can be operated using “classic cook mode” or “automatic
cook mode”. The classic mode will provide you a traditional kamado cooking
experience. In the automatic mode, your grill will utilize the Kontrol Board™
and the Kontrol Fan™ to maintain the temperature for you automatically.
CLASSIC MODE:
-
Add charcoal to firebox and light using one or two firestarters. You can also light the charcoal without firestarters by pressing the AFS (automatic fire starter) button to engage the element to ignite the charcoal. The element is ON when the red light is glowing. The element will stay on for 15 minutes.
Press and hold the AFS button to turn the element OFF if desired. -
Leave dome open for 10 minutes with the bottom vent fully open.
-
Close the dome.
-
Begin closing the top vent and bottom vent when the dome temperature is within 50°F (10°C) of your target.
AUTOMATIC MODE:
NOTE – the first time the lid is opened after the controller is powered
on, the accessory screen will appear. Please refer to the accessory screen
section of the instruction manual.
- Clean out any remaining ash in the firebox from a previous cook. Old ash can prevent the charcoal from proper ignition. It is recommended to use your ash tool to scrape and clean out the firebox and ash drawer. Do this while the unit is cold.
- Add charcoal to the firebox.
- Close the bottom vent fully. ATTENTION! When running the grill in automatic mode, the bottom vent should be closed completely at all times.
- Close the dome.
- Power on your grill with the switch on the rear. Power on your controller.
- Set your temperature on your controller and position the vents as described.
- Press the AFS (automatic fire starter) button to engage the element to ignite the charcoal. The element is ON when the red light is glowing. The element will stay on for 15minutes. Press and hold the AFS button again to turn the element OFF if desired.
MAINTAINING TEMPERATURE
CLASSIC MODE:
To lower the temperature, decrease the airflow through the grill by closing
the vents. Conversely, raise the temperature by opening the vents. Adjustments
to the vents are not immediate—allow 10–15 minutes for a vent change to take
effect. Because your ceramic Kamado Joe retains heat so well, it can take some
time to fully heat. Give your grill 20–40 minutes to stabilize the temp before
you start cooking.
AUTOMATIC MODE:
ATTENTION! When running the grill in automatic mode, the bottom vent
should be closed completely at all times. Your Konnected Joe will
automatically maintain the set temperature when running in automatic mode.
Please ensure your top vent is set as described on the Kontrol Board. Because
your ceramic Kamado Joe retains heat so well, it can take some time to fully
heat. Give your grill 20–40 minutes to stabilize the temp before you start
cooking.
Heat deflectors are NOT to be installed when maintaining temperatures above
400F. For maintaining temperatures below 400F, it is best to cook with the
heat deflectors installed.
For optimum temperature maintenance in automatic mode, keep the lid closed as
much as possible.
COOLING IT DOWN
CLASSIC MODE:
- When finished cooking, close the bottom vent completely.
- Once the temperature falls below 400°F(205°C), close the top vent.
- Do not cover the grill until the dome is cool to the touch.
AUTOMATIC MODE:
- When finished cooking, power off your controller and power off your grill.
- Keep the bottom vent closed completely.
- Once the temperature falls below 400°F (205°C), close the top vent.
- Do not cover the grill until the dome is cool to the touch.

Full Griddle:
Please note, the full griddle accessory mode is for use with a griddle that
fills the entire cooking surface. Operate the grill under normal conditions
for a half moon griddle surface. When using a griddle, it is best to shut the
lid so the grill can regulate the temperature.
Pairing Grill with Smart Device(s) (BLUETOOTH+WIFI):
-
Download the Kamado Joe app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store onto your smart device(s).
NOTE – During normal operation, the app may experience a slight delay from your grill controller readings. -

Wireless Transmitter
Transmitter and WiFi Characteristics = RF 0dBM / 2412-2484 MHz
AIR LIFT HINGE ADJUSTMENTS
The Air Lift Hinge on your Konnected Joe is already pre-adjusted for ideal
balance and stability. Follow these instructions for any additional adjustment
to suit your personal preferences.
Caution: Air Lift Hinge under high tension.
KONNECTED JOE HINGE
- Open the dome of your Konnected Joe grill.
- Place the 17mm wrench on the nut on top of the spring retainer (see Inset 1).
- To make the dome easier to raise, rotate the 17mm wrench clockwise as shown. Remove the wrench and check the dome action for every full rotation of the nut. If you want the dome to feel heavier, rotate the nut counter-clockwise.
Remove the wrench and check the dome action for every full rotation of the
nut.
Do not adjust the nut so that it contacts the nut under the connector (see
Inset 1).
HINGE SAFETY INFORMATION
Do not attempt to disassemble the hinge from your grill without the proper
hardware. Only minor adjustments to the weight of the dome should be
made.
SAFETY INFORMATION DISENGAGEMENT TOOL
HINGE
Do not attempt to disassemble the hinge or loosen the bands from your grill
without the disengagement tool kit.
DISENGAGEMENT TOOL
To install the disengagement tool kit, first place the spacer, then washer,
then hex nut on the spring retainer on the bottom side of the hinge.
Installing the disengagement tool
will release the tension on the spring allowing you to remove the hinge or
bands safely from the grill
LATCH ADJUSTMENTS
The latch on your Konnected Joe is already preset for an ultra-tight seal.
Use these instructions if any adjustments should be needed.
KONNECTED JOE LATCH
To tighten and loosen the latch setting, use a small Allen wrench. Adjust the
set screw to lower the latch plate and add a spacer. Once a spacer is added,
reinstall the latch plate by tightening the set screw.
Gripper
Use your grill gripper to handle your cooking grates.
CAUTION – Cooking grates are hot!
Use the grill gripper to re-position the cooking grates throughout your cook.
Note – The grates should be as close together as possible.
Cleaning & Care
Your Kamado Joe grill is made of quality materials, so general care and
maintenance is minimal. The best way to protect your Kamado Joe from the
elements is with a grill cover. Light cracked porcelain called crazing is part
of the natural characteristic.
SELF-CLEANING
- Add charcoal and light it.
- Install the Divide & Conquer® flexible cooking rack in the top position and both heat deflectors on the accessory rack.
- Using classic cook mode, open the top and bottom air vents fully and let the temperature inside the grill rise to 600°F (315°C) with the dome closed.
- Hold the temperature at around 600°F (315°C) for 15-20 minutes.
- Close the bottom vent fully and wait another 15-20 minutes to close the top vent.
This process will burn off residue from the inside of your grill. Before
cooking again, brush the cooking grates with a standard grill brush. Brush the
ceramics and heat deflectors with a soft bristle brush. Scoop or vacuum out
all cold ash from the bottom of the grill. During regular use when your heat
deflectors get dirty, flip them over for the next cook and the heat will
remove the unwanted residue.
Once or twice a year, you should do a more thorough cleaning of the inside of
the grill.
Remove the firebox panels from the inside of the grill. Remove all ash or
debris. Use a soft bristle brush to clean the inside ceramic surface and
vacuum all cold debris from the bottom of the grill before replacing the
internal components.
GASKET
Self-cleaning through natural heat cycle recommended. Do not use chemical
based cleaners on the gasket. If absolutely necessary, gently wipe off any
spills or moisture. Do not scrub or abrade the gasket if cleaning. Excessive
rubbing can cause wear.
