Grill Guru Original Compact vs Patton Classic Kamado 13"

What actually differs between the Grill Guru Original Compact and the Patton Classic Kamado 13", and what that means for how you cook.

What differs

  • The Classic Kamado 13" is €90.00 cheaper.
  • They are in the same size class (compact), so look at the grate size for cooking surface.
  • Both ceramic.
  • Mind what you get: the Original Compact is supplied complete with a stand, the Classic Kamado 13" is a tabletop model and has no stand. A separate stand easily costs a few hundred euros, and in this comparison that often matters more than the price gap.
