Warning - app and all support have been discontinued!

As of 7/4/23, it appears that the app (required to use almost all functionality of this device) has been pulled from the Apple App Store. Additionally, the server for the app data (if you actually had the app prior to it getting pulled) is no longer operating. DO NOT BUY THIS DEVICE, it is a brick until KJ fixes this issue, and from what I'm reading, they might not fix it at all.

This product won't maintain temperature

It's essentially a cumbersome fire starter. The fired up command works the rest of it doesn't. Working through warranty with Kamado Joe is very cumbersome. Don't recommend it

I would buy this product again.

This is a great tool to control smoker temperature and watch meat temperature. I've used it 4 times and it works better for me each time. It takes the guesswork work out of draft control. You can trust it in wind or no wind conditions. Actually you can leave the house and monitor it on your phone. It is essential to have a great internet connection to the device and that's about it. A great tool.

An essential if up north

I purchased the version I and it failed the first cook BUT Kamado Joe replaced the whole setup with the version II. Much better construction with a back draft flap and no manual slide damper. Plus the new directions make it much easier to get setup. If you have to put on boots and trudge through snow or rain to get to your smoker this is a wondrous thing. Light grill, stoke fire with unit while staying dry, dial down top vent, wait to stabilize and get coals uniform while staying dry, put on meat, wait for completion sound WHILE STAYING DRY! A few thoughts: I purchased a 12 volt DC extension cord, on-line, so the transformer wall plug can stay under cover when raining or snowing. I cut a small piece of waterproof canvas which I hang over the unit to ensure I don't have to test its water-tightness! If you do the push notifications onto your phone - I saved the number into my contacts and put a custom ringtone in so I don't miss it texting me at night. Also added it as a Favorite so when my phone goes into Do Not Disturb mode the call will still alert me if I run low on charcoal or it finishes early! The con - I wish it had heavy duty probes like ThermoWorks uses - seals and spring strain reliefs and longer probes- before you ask - different size plugs

Works fantastic to hold a temp

I was fortunate to buy this and have two software updates come through the first week I owned it. Many people have complained about it not holding temps constant due to a yo-yo affect. With the latest software updates mine is now rock solid now. It can hold the temp consistent for hours and hours. Couple of tips, 1) bring the initial grill up to temp without using the iKamand. I still find this function to be too fussy. If I don't adjust the temp down way early it will overshoot the desired temp and then struggle to even it out. So now I just fire up the grill the old way and get it close to temp. 2) I mounted the temp probe on the Kamado Joe temp probe. It reads slightly lower than the Kamado Joe probe so I set for a temp slight lower because I'm trusting the Kamado Joe temp probe as my guide. By setting the cook temp just slight lower it keeps the kettle at the perfect temp, no issues.

4.5 hours of rock solid temps.  The tiny blips are when I opened the grill.

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
