While pellet grills revolutionized the industry by bringing smart tech to grilling, other fuel types have caught on. Middleby’s brands brought it to charcoal with the Masterbuilt Gravity Series and the recently released Kamado Joe Konnected Joe.
It’s been a slower ascent for gas grills though. Unlike charcoal and pellet fueled grills, gas grills are still operated like they have been for decades. Each burner has a manual valve connected to a knob used to open and close it. This adjusts gas flow and the amount flame used to produce heat.
