Kamado BBQ

What Makes the Kamado BBQ Unique?

Kamado ceramic barbecues offer several advantages that make them popular among outdoor cooking enthusiasts. Here are some of the most notable features:

• Excellent Heat Retention: Ceramic is a material that retains heat exceptionally well. This means that Kamado ceramic barbecues maintain consistent temperatures over long periods, ideal for slow cooking and smoking.

• Energy Efficiency: Due to their heat retention capability, they consume less fuel (such as charcoal or wood) compared to metal barbecues. This makes them more economical in the long run and more environmentally friendly.

• Versatility in Cooking: Kamado ceramic barbecues are extremely versatile. They can be used for grilling, baking, smoking, and even steaming. You can prepare anything from a simple grilled steak to an oven-baked pizza or a slow-cooked roast.

• Durability: Ceramic is highly resistant to weather conditions. Unlike metal barbecues, they do not rust or deteriorate easily over time when properly maintained.

• Temperature Control: These barbecues allow precise temperature control thanks to their adjustable ventilation systems. This makes it easier to cook at specific temperatures for different types of food.

• Even Cooking: The closed chamber design and hot air circulation ensure that heat is evenly distributed around the food, helping to cook food more uniformly and reducing the risk of burns or raw spots.

These features make Kamado ceramic barbecues an attractive option for those serious about outdoor cooking, seeking versatility and efficiency in their cooking methods.

Choose the Ideal Size for Your Kamado BBQ

Selecting the right size Kamado BBQ is essential to perfectly match your needs and the space you have available. Here is a guide to help you choose among the three available sizes:

• 13 inches - 21 kg: Perfect for small spaces or for those who mainly cook for one or two people. It is easy to move and takes up little space.

• 16 inches - 30 kg: Ideal for medium-sized families or small gatherings. It offers a good balance between capacity and size, without being too bulky.

• 21 inches - 86 kg: The best option for BBQ enthusiasts or large events. Its size allows for cooking large quantities of food and better temperature management over longer periods.

Evaluate your current and future needs to ensure you select the size that best suits your outdoor cooking plans.

What Charcoal to Use for Your Kamado BBQ?

For your Kamado BBQ, it is essential to use the right fuel to ensure optimal performance and exceptional flavor in your meals. Here are some recommendations:

• Natural Lump Charcoal: This is the most recommended type of fuel for Kamado barbecues. This charcoal lights quickly, reaches high temperatures, and produces a natural smoky flavor that enhances the taste of your food. Additionally, it generates less ash compared to other types of charcoal.

• Binchotan Charcoal: This is a high-quality Japanese charcoal known for its purity and ability to burn at very high temperatures for prolonged periods. It is excellent for Kamado barbecues, though it can be more expensive and less accessible.

Care and Maintenance of the Kamado BBQ

Your Japanese Kamado BBQ offers a world of culinary possibilities, from juicy smoked meats to crispy pizzas and perfectly roasted vegetables. To ensure your Kamado continues to function like the first day, it is important to follow some basic maintenance and care tips.

Post-Use Care

• Remove Ashes: Allow the Kamado to cool completely, then use an ash shovel or vacuum to remove the ashes from the bottom. Accumulated ashes can obstruct air circulation and affect cooking efficiency.

• Brush the Grill: Use a stainless steel brush to clean food residues from the grill. This will prevent residues from burning and generating unwanted smoke in future cooking sessions.

Weather Protection

• Cover Your Kamado: Use a cover to protect your Kamado from rain, sun, and dust when not in use. This will help prevent deterioration and corrosion.

• Location: Place the Kamado in a spot protected from wind and direct rain. An area under a roof or covered space is ideal.

• Ceramic Surface: Clean the outer ceramic surface with a damp cloth and, if necessary, a mild cleaner. Avoid using abrasive chemicals.

• Metal Parts: Inspect metal parts, such as hardware and hinges, and clean any rust accumulation with a wire brush. Apply suitable lubricant to keep them in good condition.

By following these tips, you can enjoy your Kamado BBQ for many years, keeping it in perfect condition and ensuring every gathering is a success.
