    I was 100% in on a Konnected Joe when I first saw it and was all set to preorder one, then I saw my friends classic II and was concerned about the size. It was too small for the amount of smoking/grilling I do so I opted to go for the Big Joe III and have not been disappointed whatsoever. I'm super happy with it. Great video as always.

      I have been looking at all the videos and was set on a Konnected but was worried about the size compared to my 36” Camp Chef. Then I have been hearing about electrical problems with the Konnected and now am really worried plus the cost here in Kentucky is extremely high. No discounts where you can cook all year easily! I believe I’m going to keep looking and watching.

    Very good review. I was just looking at these and have cooked on a bigger one a few times. I think I would be annoyed with all the warnings and silly messages, and I would prefer the bigger format for the same reason. I think you are right about the software it takes some time for manufacturers to get the bugs out.

    Hi great video, and thanks for doing it. I note your remarks about size, but if you already have a Classic 2 and are happy with that size, is the KJ Konnected the exact same size and cooking space? Many thanks

    @thebheath 11 місяців тому +1

    I agree with everything. I would add I don't love how it's sort of sluggish. Changing the temp, using the app, there is a noticeable delay. Also, the constant warning about closing the bottom vent slows things do.

    Regarding the WiFi…why I love my Google WiFi mesh. It can detect whether 2.4 or 5 is allowed and will switch bands as needed. Honestly, 5 GHz isn’t needed for the BBQ stuff. Totally overkill but I get what you say about the network name being the same. I guess some routers aren’t smart enough to auto detect. I jumped from a regular router with a few custom configurations I had on it to Google WiFi mesh and it just simplified everything. Yes, not the most geeky privacy centric solution but I don’t have the time to mess with this stuff as much as I used to.

    • @RumandCook
      @RumandCook  11 місяців тому +1

      It’s not the network at all. I’m in IT and have a high end network in my house. The issue is the device. I have 45 devices on my network where some can do 2.4 only and no issues. The KJ doesn’t like a network like that. It specifically says in the manual it needs a dedicated 2.4 network. I thought I could bypass it like any other device and it had connection issues. 🍻

    • @txfieros
      @txfieros 11 місяців тому

      @@RumandCook I see. A dedicated network. Very odd. I always have a guest network running so when I run people untrustworthy computers on my network and/or some of my devices, I just run them there. That’s quite dumb behavior by the KJ. Even the tiny little add on module on my Pitts and Spitts couldn’t care less. It just runs 2.4 along with everything else on the same network.

    • @RumandCook
      @RumandCook  11 місяців тому +1

      Sorry I meant a dedicated name. Meaning 2.4 has an SSID and 5 has one. It doesn’t it like it when both have the same name. 🍻

    Kamado Joe regular size is what 1999 -2000. This is much smaller for a few hundred less. Seems like anyone could just buy a temp controller and
    Cook on the regular size get much more for your money. What’s your thoughts

    • @RumandCook
      @RumandCook  10 місяців тому

      This is the same size as the classic 18”. Then there is a Big Joe 24”. You really don’t need a temp controller once you get used to one. The advantage is built in start up system, faster start times, remote control, and you can go from reverse sear to sear super quick.
      Personally I’d get a Big Joe. 18” is a bit small for my tastes. 🍻

    With the amount of UA-cam videos on Kamado cooking, I don’t understand why someone would opt for a Kamado with a temperature control fan and wifi especially at that price relative to the size of the cooking surface…but to each his/her own I guess.

      I rarely have used any of my Kamados during the week. I get home at 6 and want more set it and forget so use my pellet grill or gas grill. I’ve now used this a couple times because I can start it up and set a desired temp. Then go prep some food/make a drink and come out a grill in 10-15 mins. Just less hassle. 🍻

      I have a memphis pellet grill, which works fine for searing and grill if needed. But it’s not something my wife wants to deal with and the grates are huge to clean.
      I could see myself getting one of these because it would give me an alternative flavor with charcoal and something my wife could easily use to grill things like Korean short ribs and chicken.
