Kamado Barbecue: The Ceramic Charcoal Cooker

Home · Kamado Barbecue

A kamado is a traditional Japanese ceramic cooker: an oval or egg-shaped ceramic body with a hinged lid and adjustable air vents. The ceramic retains heat with remarkable efficiency. The vent system sets and holds temperature with precision. The result is one cooker that grills, smokes, roasts and bakes.

Big Green Egg has made ceramic kamados for fifty years.

What Makes a Kamado Different

Temperature is set with two vents, top and bottom, from low and slow smoking to high-heat searing, with no complicated controls. The thick ceramic holds the heat, so the temperature stays steady through long, slow cooks. One cooker grills, smokes, roasts and bakes.
