Bobby Brennan founded Kamado Joe in 2008 with a focus on innovating the kamado style cooker. He led the company through its sale to Masterbuilt in 2018, which was a Dominus portfolio company.
Both Kamado Joe and Masterbuilt increased market share and were then sold to Middleby in December 2021 for $385 million, where they reside. The spirit of innovation that Bobby Brennan made synonymous with the brand is still alive at Kamado Joe, as they recently released the first phone controlled kamado grill.
