Kamado Grills
Credit: Image from www.biggreenegg.com Kamado Grills, like the Big Green Egg, are a very popular option for grilling and smoking. Due to the precise control of airflow (and thus temperature) afforded by the vent system, Kamado-style cookers are much like wood-fired ovens and can be used to roast and bake anything that can be roasted or baked in a traditional oven.
Modern Kamado style cookers are made from a variety of materials including high fire ceramics (Big Green Egg, California Kamado, Primo, Grill Dome,Dragon Fire King), refractory materials (Komodo Kamado), traditional terra cotta (Imperial Kamado) and a mix of Portland cement and crushed lava rock (Kamado). Outer surfaces also vary from a high gloss ceramic glaze (Big Green Egg, California Kamado, Primo), paint (Grill Dome), textured stucco-like surface (Komodo Kamado, Kamado) and ceramic tiles (Komodo Kamado, Kamado). The use of modern ceramic and refractory materials ensures that the units seldom crack – a common fault in the original Japanese design. (Brands using older materials, notably Kamado (Portland cement) still suffer from cracking problems.)
