About Moddern
Moddern was born from the belief that outdoor cooking should be as beautiful as it is functional. Where most kamado brands focus on specs, we start with design — soft, rounded lines, thoughtfully chosen materials, and a finish refined down to the smallest detail. The result is a kamado that brings serenity to your outdoor space, not noise.
Moddern is a Dutch brand. Our kamados are available through authorized dealers across Europe and the UK, as well as through our online store at moddern.eu.
We offer two main configurations: the Moddern Kamado Original (the ceramic kamado with your choice of legs) and the Moddern Kamado Complete (which adds a pedestal, foldable side tables, and legs with wheels for easy mobility). Both are available in Olive Green and Midnight Black. We also have the Moddern Solo, Moddern Compact and Moddern Special.
You can choose between real hardwood legs for a warm, natural look, marble or black aluminium legs with wheels and side shelves for added convenience. This way, you can make your Moddern truly your own.

Product & specifications
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 all with one device.
The Moddern Kamado Original weighs 87 kg and measures 67 × 60 × 115 cm. The Complete model weighs 97 kg with the same dimensions. Both have an ergonomic operating height of 83 cm.
Far more than you might expect. Besides grilling and smoking, you can bake pizzas, bread, prepare stews, and even make desserts. The versatility of a kamado is one of its biggest strengths.
Absolutely. Thanks to the thick ceramic walls, a Moddern kamado retains its temperature exceptionally well, even in winter. Rain, wind, or cold won’t hold you back.
We recommend 100% natural lump charcoal. Avoid briquettes, as they may contain fillers and chemical additives that can affect the purity of your food’s flavour.
With direct grilling, food is placed directly above the hot coals, ideal for steaks and burgers. With indirect grilling, a heat deflector sits between the coals and the food, allowing you to cook slowly without burning. Perfect for larger cuts, whole chickens, and pizzas.
Care & warranty
After each use, remove ash residues and brush the grate clean. Periodically check the gaskets and hinges. Deep cleaning is rarely needed — the high temperatures inside the kamado naturally burn off bacteria and grease.
Use natural firelighters or a looftlighter (hot air blower) to ignite the charcoal. Avoid chemical lighter fluids, as they can affect the taste of your food. Let the kamado reach your desired temperature before you start cooking.
Temperature is controlled by adjusting the airflow through the bottom and top vents. More oxygen means a higher temperature. For low-and-slow cooking and smoking, keep the airflow minimal.
With proper care, a kamado lasts for decades. The ceramic construction is extremely durable and resistant to high temperatures. We back this with a 25-year warranty on registration.
After purchasing your Moddern kamado, visit moddern.eu/product-registration to register your product. This gives you access to our full warranty coverage and support services.
A heat deflector (for indirect cooking), a quality thermometer, a cast iron grate, and an ash tool are the essentials. From there, a pizza stone or rotisserie can open up even more possibilities.
