Big Green Egg Large vs Kamado Joe Konnected Joe

What actually differs between the Big Green Egg Large and the Kamado Joe Konnected Joe, and what that means for how you cook.

What differs

  • The Large is €72.49 cheaper.
  • They are in the same size class (large), so look at the grate size for cooking surface.
  • Both ceramic.
  • Mind what you get: the Large is supplied without a stand, the Konnected Joe is supplied complete with a stand. A separate stand easily costs a few hundred euros, and in this comparison that often matters more than the price gap.
