Went ahead and bought the Kamado Joe a couple weeks ago when it was on sell on Amazon. Haven’t set it up yet. Any recommendations on how to use it? Is it worth it to get one of those temperature regulator fans that attach to the lower vent? I’m new to all this, but excited to try it out.

- I go outside, start up the Traeger and let it go through it's pre-heating cycle and get up to temp without checking it. I get a notification when it's at temp and ready to put the food on.
- I can check the temp remotely without having to open up the grill and having it lose temp. Bonus when the whether outside sucks.
- As Art already pointed out, I can and do adjust the temp without having to go out to the grill.
- I get low pellet notifications.
- When I pull something off the grill and go inside to start foiling or resting or whatever, I can just shut down the grill from the app and don't have to go outside again.
- I get a notification when shutdown is complete and can go put the cover on (or I can send a kid to do it if I don't want to go outside).
I use the Thermapen all the time for stuff and even got a nicer Thermoworks ChefAlarm for my wife for this Christmas (on sale now for only $51!) because her $15 leave-in temp probe from Target is so ridiculously inaccurate compared to the Thermapen. Sometimes off by 20 degrees. But for food on the Traeger, the probe/pellet sensor/wifi is a really nice combo.

I would love to get a ceramic grill. Just not sure where I would put it."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."
