Cast iron combo cooker 26cm

A kamado BBQ is a ceramic charcoal grill with excellent heat insulation, allowing you to control the temperature very precisely. This makes it ideal for grilling, smoking, baking, and slow cooking.

The temperature is controlled by adjusting the airflow through the bottom and top vents. The more oxygen, the higher the temperature. For slow cooking and smoking, keep the airflow minimal.

Preferably use 100% natural lump charcoal. Briquettes are not recommended because they may contain fillers and chemical additives.

After use, remove ash residues, brush the grate clean, and regularly check the gaskets and hinges. Deep cleaning is rarely needed, as high temperatures burn off bacteria and grease residues.

Essential accessories include a heat deflector (for indirect cooking), a good thermometer, a cast iron grate, and an ash tool. Extras like a pizza stone or rotisserie can expand the cooking possibilities.

Yes! Thanks to the thick ceramic walls, a kamado retains its temperature well, even in winter. This makes it perfect for all seasons.

Besides grilling and smoking, you can make pizzas, bread, stews, and desserts. Its versatility is one of the biggest advantages of a kamado BBQ.

Use natural firelighters or a looftlighter (hot air blower) to ignite the charcoal. Avoid chemical lighter fluids, as they can affect the taste of the food. Let the barbecue reach the desired temperature before you start cooking.

With proper maintenance, a kamado BBQ can last for decades. The ceramic construction is extremely durable and resistant to high temperatures.

With direct grilling, the food is placed directly above the hot coals, ideal for steaks and burgers. With indirect grilling, you place a heat deflector between the coals and the food, allowing you to cook slowly without burning. This is perfect for large cuts of meat, chicken, and pizzas.
