The history of kamado grills dates back to ancient Japan. A kamado is a traditional ceramic oven, originally made of clay. The first mentions of a similar device come from ancient China, but the kamado was further developed by the Japanese. Modern kamado grills were introduced to the US army during the Japanese occupation, and were then brought to the United States in the 1950s. From there, the popularity of the kamado grill gradually grew, and many companies began to manufacture and develop different versions of it.

Ceramic grills differ from other ovens due to the material used. Ceramic has an extremely good heat storage effect. Thanks to this, a small amount of charcoal is sufficient for its operation. In addition to economical operation, its durability is also extremely favorable. If there is no physical damage, you do not have to worry about ever having to give up using it. Ceramic is an extremely porous material, so the use of chemicals is strictly prohibited.

Kamados have self-cleaning properties, so you only need to keep the grate clean and remove the ash.

It is best to store it indoors. Ceramic is fragile, so the weather is not favorable for it.

Not only a grill, but also perfectly suitable for use in the BBQ range, or even as an oven.

Kamado grills are 4-season grills, so you can use them any day of the year without any problems, without any particular problems. It is difficult to transport due to its weight, but due to the elimination of this, we can now choose from smaller sizes.

One of the most important accessories is the heat deflector plate or deflector plate. This accessory helps to capture the heat coming from below and distribute it evenly. Since it is located under the grate, it also prevents the fat from dripping onto the glowing charcoal. This way, the unpleasant aroma that burnt fat can cause can be avoided. This form of cooking is called indirect cooking, which means that the food does not come into direct contact with the heat of the charcoal.

Its design resembles an egg. The lockable lid is also called a dome, and its shape creates the perfect environment for long-term cooking.

Its consumption can be up to a tenth of that of other charcoal grills and smokers in the optimal case.

Of course, kamado grills have countless accessories and thus have a lot of possibilities.

In addition to the 2.5 cm wall thickness, there is also a 2.5 cm thick fire basket. This makes it a very efficient and stable device. It is recommended for those who want to put smoky flavors on the table not only in summer. A Christmas menu can also be easily prepared in it. Not only households, but also restaurants are increasingly choosing this grill, because it is a very safe and reliable device.

There are a few important things to consider when using it. Ceramics do not react well to sudden heat. This is due to thermal expansion. You must strive for even heating, otherwise the ceramic may crack or even break. Lighting should be done in the kamado, preferably with an electric grill lighter. The use of lighting chimneys is not recommended. Charcoal and high-quality charcoal briquettes can also be used. In many cases, chemicals are used for bonding briquettes, these are fuels usually found in hypermarkets. Use only organic materials, because the porous structure of ceramics absorbs toxic substances. Moreover, their use is unhealthy. After cooking, open the lower and upper ventilation openings completely, then let the remaining charcoal heat up. In this case, the Kamado can heat up to 400 degrees Celsius. This is necessary so that the grease and dirt in the oven are completely burned. This is practically all that is needed to keep the Kamado ovens clean. A grill cleaning brush is sufficient for the grates.

The external parts can be kept clean with a lukewarm damp cloth.

It is worth checking the detachable connections from time to time due to thermal expansion. If necessary, tighten the screws from time to time. If you follow these rules, long-term operation is guaranteed. Chemicals are prohibited, but their use is not justified as they have self-cleaning properties. Use wood only for smoking, never for burning, as high heat and large flames can damage the Kamado oven.
