26 Inch Kamado Ceramic Charcoal BBQ Grill & Smoker, Classic Series with Side Tables and Stainless Cart (CL-26)

The big one. The 26 inch Classic Series kamado has a 57cm cooking grid, about 2,550 cm² of grilling space, which is the difference between cooking for the family and cooking for the whole compound. A whole goat leg, two trays of chicken and the vegetables go on together.

Like every kamado, it works because of the thick mullite ceramic body. The material is rated to 1000°C and holds heat so well that once the grill is up to temperature, a single load of charcoal runs for hours with the vents almost closed. The sealed dome keeps moisture in the meat, so long cooks come out tender instead of dry.

The Classic Series upgrades the hardware. The top vent is cast iron, which holds its setting and does not warp under high heat. The band, springs and stand are stainless steel rather than painted steel, so they stand up to Nairobi rain and sun. A cast iron charcoal plate sits in the ceramic fire box for even airflow through the coals. Set the cast iron vent and bottom door for searing heat over 300°C, or close them down for low and slow smoking around 110°C, and watch the built-in dome thermometer.

Two bamboo side tables give you space for plates and tongs, the bamboo handle stays cool, and the stainless stand rolls on four wheels so the grill can move out of the way when it is not in use.

Good to know

Use lump charcoal for the cleanest burn and the longest cook times. Never pour water on a hot kamado; let it cool with the vents closed. Keep it covered when not in use during the rains. Run the first two or three cooks at moderate heat to season the ceramic.
