5 Great Kamado Grills

Getting a Kamado-style grill is like having a Swiss Army knife. You can grill up a storm, smoke meat to perfection, and even bake some tasty treats. The thick walls keep the heat in check, giving you consistent cooking magic. Plus, with its airflow control, you become the temperature maestro. It’s not just a grill—it’s a flavor packed adventure waiting to happen! So, if you’re looking for a new Kamado grill, consider one of these.

Vision Grills Ceramic Kamado

If you’re a control freak when it comes to grilling and smoking, you’ll love how effortless the Vision Grills Ceramic Kamado grill makes it to oversee every detail. There are separate calibrated control systems for both functions. Located on the top vent and in the bottom charcoal ProZone, there are knobs that allow you to manage the entire process, from slow smoking temperatures all the way to blazing heat. The included electric charcoal igniter is continually praised, quickly and reliably lighting your fuel source more effectively than traditional methods. Once you’ve cooked to your heart’s content (and even baked a pizza on the dual-purpose lava stone) cleanup is a breeze with the removable ash drawer.

Big Green Egg Large

The Large EGG is the most popular size and a favorite to handle the cooking needs of most families and gatherings of friends. Accommodates all EGGcessories for baking, roasting or smoking. It’s versatile enough for weekend cookouts or pizza parties, large enough for eight steaks at once, and efficient enough for an impromptu meatloaf for two! When you purchase an EGG, your investment is protected by a free lifetime warranty from a company that has been standing behind their amazing products for almost fifty years!

Kamado Joe Big Joe III 24-inch Charcoal Grill

The Big Joe Series III caters to those who love outdoor cooking and frequently entertain large groups. Boasting a cooking area that exceeds 1,000-sq-inches, you can churn out serious amounts of food. One standout feature of this grill that separates it from its predecessor models is the new air lift hinge. If you’re familiar with ceramic cookers then you understand the challenge of handling heavy lids, especially on larger models. Despite its size, the hinge design makes lifting the lid effortlessly manageable – just a finger is all it takes! And if that isn’t enough to convince you, the lid-mounted thermometer is highly accurate (which is a big deal because most built-in ones are highly unreliable).

Blaze Kamado 20-inch Cast Aluminum Grill

One main advantage of having a kamado grill constructed of metal is that it cannot break; you get strong durability and superior heat retention since it is 1 and 1/4-inch thick. This grill provides two sets of grates: one at the lower level and the other at the higher level. If you want to do some high-heat searing, opt for the lower set to essentially be right on top of the charcoal; and you’ll get excellent char marks with the hexagonal grill grates. Most kamado grills use a felt gasket that must be replaced over time, but this grill has a tongue and groove seal that is better for longer term maintenance.

Primo All in One Round Ceramic Kamado Grill

The Primo kamado grill is equipped with easily maintainable cooking grates coated in porcelain, and it has one of the tallest lids available, ideal for cooking whole chickens. The unit effectively holds heat and spreads it evenly across its 280-sq. inch cooking surface, ensuring steady temperatures. It allows smoking as low as 180 degrees and can be cranked up to over 500 degrees for searing and grilling. Monitoring temperature is relatively easy with the 6-position cast aluminum chimney cap, low vent door and user-friendly thermometer.
