    NEW Kamado Joe for 2018

    I just watched a Facebook live event for Kamado Joe. It looks like they were at a trade show of some sort. They have a NEW Kamado Joe (Pro Joe) coming out. I think the size is the same as the Big Joe and it features a "hyperbolic insert" which uses air pressure in the Kamado to evenly circulate the airflow. I was a bit fuzzy on the science behind it since they didn’t go super in-depth.

    Hopefully the link above will take you to their FB live event video.

    Sad thing is at the very end, he said this new Pro Joe would sell for just under $4,000. Whaaaaa?

    He also said they’re going to make these hyperbolic inserts to retrofit into other Kamado Joes. Cool!

    HIGHLY interesting though. I absolutely love the innovation. Eating up some of that green market share I’m sure!! Though $4k is a little much, and will certainly be a niche market.

    OH, and they have a KJ side cart which stores all your grilling surfaces and accessories that looks pretty cool. They say it’s waterproof which is critical!

    What do you all think?

    I grabbed a couple of screenshots. They call is cyclonic airflow. Hmmm..

        The owner of KJ had posted some pics of their hyperbolic insert on FB a few weeks ago. Sounds intersting.

        Here's a pic of the KJ lineup with the new Pro Joe on the left so one can see the size differences:

          Wow. I can’t determine if the grate size is the same or larger, but man that Pro Joe is way bigger in mass!

          Yeah, it's more than twice the weight of a Big Joe. I think the grid was the same diameter but don't really remember.

        Max Good is at the same event and hopefully, he will be getting his hands on one of these. The technology is interesting.

          Facebook posts suggest that the new ProJoe is still 24", but has 3 levels of grates for food.
