Why this site
Compared by barcode, not by name
The same kamado is sold as Solo, Complete and Starter Set, each under its own barcode and hundreds of euros apart. We tie prices to the barcode and list on every page which other versions exist.
A price verdict from real measurements
A struck-through price is a claim by the shop. Our verdict comes from what a kamado actually cost on the days we looked — and while we have measured too little, we say so.
We sell nothing
We point you to the shops that do, and earn commission there. The order of the shops is always by price, never by what they pay us.
Frequently asked questions
- What size kamado do I need?
- For two to four people a medium of around forty centimetres is ample. The size recommended most often — and most often found to be too big — is the large, at forty-six to forty-eight centimetres. Only move up to an XL if you regularly cook for eight or more: a half-full XL costs more charcoal and more warm-up time every session without giving anything back.
- Why are there several prices for the same kamado?
- Because the same kamado is sold under different barcodes: Solo, Complete, Starter Set, Master Set. The difference is usually the stand, and that is a two to four hundred euro accessory. We tie prices to the barcode and list on every page which other versions of that model exist.
- Is the stand included?
- With some yes, with others no, and the product name often does not say. Big Green Egg sells the kamado alone as standard; Grill Guru and The Bastard usually supply theirs complete. We put it in the specifications as soon as the shop states it, and leave it blank when nothing is said — a guess here is a guess about what gets delivered to you.
- Ceramic or steel?
- Ceramic has mass, and mass is what makes a kamado stable on long sessions at low temperature. Steel is lighter, cheaper and much faster to heat, but reacts more to wind and to every time you open the lid. If you mostly grill, steel is fine; if you want to run through the night, you want ceramic.
- When are kamados cheapest?
- Towards the end of the season, roughly from September, and around Black Friday. In spring demand climbs and the discounts dry up. That is exactly the pattern this site tracks — as soon as we have measured for long enough, every page will say whether today is a good moment.
