Kamado Joe builds these grills around thick-walled ceramic that holds heat longer than steel and distributes it more evenly, which is what makes the kamado style worth cooking on. Both models in this line use an 18-inch cooking surface with 250 square inches of cooking space, the Air Lift hinge to keep the dome easy to open, and the Kontrol Tower top vent to hold a consistent airflow setting during the cook and when you lift the lid. The AMP firebox and double-thick wire mesh fiberglass gasket are the same across both, keeping heat in and smoke where it belongs.

Where they split is in how you manage the fire. The Classic Joe III is a hands-on charcoal grill with a 3-tier cooking system. The Konnected Joe adds an automatic igniter, a digital control board, and app connectivity for cooks where you'd rather set it and step away.

Both grills are available exclusively as part of an Elysia or Ember outdoor kitchen build.
