A thick-walled ceramic kamado that holds heat well enough to run a long smoke on a single load of charcoal, and gets hot enough for a fast sear. The ceramic mass is doing the work — it stores heat and releases it slowly, so small vent changes control the cook.

Key features

Thick ceramic body with excellent heat retention
Top and bottom vents for precise airflow control
Suited to both low-temperature smoking and high-heat searing
Cast iron top vent and hinged lid

Materials

Ceramic body with a stainless cooking grate, cast iron vent, and a powder-coated metal band.

Intended use

Smoking, roasting, searing, and baking. Rewards cooks willing to learn vent control.

Assembly

Body sits into the nest or table frame. This is a heavy item — two people are essential.

Care

Ash out the base between cooks. Avoid rapid temperature swings and never pour water on hot ceramic; thermal shock can crack the body.

What's included

Ceramic body, grate, deflector, and stand.

Not included

Lump charcoal, cover, and accessories are sold separately.
